I have a Keychrom K7 Pro with brown switches. I like the low profile keycaps and QMK has become a necessity. I am curious about red and blue switches. I understand the difference between all the switches and have keycap testers, which include many others, but I’ve not had the chance to type on all three.


I’m primarily concerned with how the feel of the switches you use contribute to your typing quality and overall experience. It would be great if you have any input spanning multiple switches.


P.S. I know there are keyboard subs, but I asked the question here as they are not as active

Honestly it really depends what you are mostly doing with the keyboard. If you are planning on writing a lot. People usually lean toward tactile switches. It has a little bump on the click which feels quite nice. Strict gaming usually go linear since its faster to trigger. Then there is the weight. Lighter weight for faster pushing, higher weight for really knowing you are pushing the key.


My preference is a medium weight tactile switch, preferably silent. I thought the heavy switched were too much for my taste. Light didn’t have enough resistance.

The goldilocks zone of key cap weight!
