You’re not pressing anything that moves, so it should be very similar to tapping directly on your desk but with a little extra padding thanks to the micro-suction tape on the bottom of the keypad. There are a few advantages to the touch keypad: This isn’t a keyswitch, but I think it’s worth including here just as a reminder that it’s an option. This means you can actually see the pins going into the socket and make sure it’s going in straight.Ī higher actuation point like MX Silvers, but a bit further into the travel at 1.5 mm compared to 1.3 on Silvers.ģ mm of total travel compared to 4 on MX switches. They are better designed for hot-swapping, since the legs of the switch are longer than the lower half of the switch. Kailh’s low profile Choc switches offer some unique adavantages over standard MX-style switches. However, the second difference is that they bottom out at 3.4 mm instead of the typical 4 mm, which means it should have an impact (no matter how minuscule) whether you bottom out the keys or not. In a hectic gaming scenario, particularly with playing a rhythm game, it won’t make a difference if you’re bottoming out the keys. This means the key will be detected as pressed much higher in the keystroke, but I think the same caveat exists that does with tactile/clicky switches. The first is their higher actuation point, at 1.2 mm instead of the 2 mm on a normal Cherry MX switch. Though MX silvers (also referred to as MX Speed switches) have the same actuation force as MX reds, there are two key differences that set them apart. They are considerably smoother feeling, where Cherry’s switches have a bit of a scratchy feel to them. Cherry is a German company that’s been making these for a long time, but their patent ran out and a bunch of other companies started making MX clones. One other thing to mention is the difference between Gateron and Cherry switches. I would consider these the best for osu! and gaming use in general. Linear switches offer a nice variety in weight (actuation force) and don’t have any audible click or tactile bump.

These would also be nice for professional applications and are better in quiet environments. They have the same bump at the actuation point but no audible click. These offer the same benefit as clicky switches for typists, but the same downside for games. It would be a nice option for a macro keypad if you want to use it for professional applications, but be mindful if you want to use it with other people around as they are pretty noisy.
Some players may be able to take adavantage of the click, but I find it distracting.
Games are much more hectic than typing and if you try to feel or listen to the click, you will be pulling your atention away from the game. However, this is situationally advantageous. It’s great for avoiding “bottoming out,” meaning the switch is fully depressed, which can help reduce fatigue from typing over long periods of time. This is nice for typing (especially touch typing) since it’s a clear indication that you’ve pressed the switch. These have both a bump and an audible click when the switch is pressed to its actuation point. Switch choice is ultimately personal preference, so I’ll do my best to provide both objective and subjective information. Luckily, you aren’t stuck with your choice thanks to the hot-swap sockets, so don’t feel too stressed out. This may be the most important choice you can make with your keypad.
