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

Home Keychron K4v2: Custom built (franken switch) Kailh Silent Box Browns. Bottom housing, and Springs are from Kailh Box Royals. Top housing, stem, and tactile hammer from the Box Browns.





Work Keycron K4v3: currently have the stock Keychron Banana switch and they are ok. I like the spring weight but im not in love with the rest of the switch. My board also came with 5 bad switches so thats not a great selling point.


Travel Keychron K17 Pro: Gateron LP Blues, fewer options so these are the ones I like to annoy people with on the train or airplane.


I have a bunch of other keyboards with different switches ranging from Outemu silent white, purples, to Cherry brown, and silvers.


I cant even remember all the switches I have, and I have given away so many to friends…

How do you like the full keyboards you have? I’m looking for a new one

I don’t use them, the 96% K4v2 and v3 are what I prefer for the compact but nearly full sized.


The k17 pro is ok but I don’t enjoy the extra size. The smallest keyboards I can use are 60% or 10 keyless since I use function keys and num pads all to often.


If I was a writer and not do doing math/engineering related things I would skip the extra keys.

Thanks for sharing. Maybe I’ll try the compact. I have become so accustomed to the full sized keyboard, but I do find it to be clumsy.
