Silent clicky switches5/27/2023 There's also mod switches which have a little different bump and aren't quite as smooth as zealios. Now I'm actually sitting here right now swapping springs in some mx clears because i found them too heavy but they do have a nice bump. I would still recommend zealios as the come in 4 different weights and they are smooth with a nice bump and if you want silent order some zealencios all from the same place. Not sure if I came off wrong, but taking people's advice on here will only get you so far so I figured you could order the switch tester that I linked you, filled with whatever switches your heart desired. My suggestion to buy a switch tester was what I thought l, a viable solution to your problem. Would MX clears work for me? Or perhaps there might exist another type of switch that I'm not aware of that fits the description I'm looking for? If they're like the mushy type of tactility from the browns except heavier, I probably won't like them. I'm looking for the crisp and clicky sensation without the audible click. So I guess what I really want to know is what type of tactility you get from Cherry MX clears. Anyway, this issue is secondary compared to looking for a switch with the specific type of tactility that I like. But I would consider dismantling my browns to make ergo clears if it turns out that I really love clears that much but want something lighter. I've also read that you're not supposed to bottom out clears, so they might not be the best choice for me. I would like a better description before dropping over $100 on a keyboard I may or may not even like. But I can't find a store that has them on displays because clears seem fairly uncommon, so I have no way of trying them out before buying. I've been doing a little research on MX clears, and a lot of people say that those are pleasantly tactile without the noise. They're still not satisfying the way blues are with no tactility at all, but the I'd rather have no tactility than the annoying "dirty" type of tactility I feel in browns. I went to Best Buy to try reds, and I think I even like reds a little better than browns. Browns still beat membrane keyboards by far, so I'll be using this keyboard at work until I discover something better though browns are still not ideal. The first time I tried them, I even thought they might have accidentally shipped me reds because I couldn't feel the tactility at all. The tactile feeling from brown simply isn't satisfying. I was kind of hoping that they would be kind of like blues but quiet, but they're nothing like blues. I made the mistake of buying a Cherry MX brown online before trying it, and I was disappointed. I think what I'm really looking for is something that feels as close to blues as possible but with as little noise as possible. But my keyboards have been the #1 source of conflict at work, and blues are also not practical to use at home when anyone else is in the same room, especially when the house is quiet. My first mechanical was a cheap $25 Oetemu blue from Amazon, and I thought it was the most awesome keyboard in the world. But I don't get tired, so I don't think that's a problem. I never thought so before, but I pretty much always bottom out any switch. I also might be what you guys would consider a heavy typist. I've relatively new to the world of mechanical keyboards, but I type 120-130 WPM and have done quite a bit of research recently.
