Who the fuck likes linear switches on their keyboards

Like who the fuck wants 0 tactile feedback for gaming, thats legit so retarded, every controller button has some form of tactile feedback, the only linear buttons i can think of are japanese arcade buttons and they suck and are beaten by the happ buttons in american cabinets. Browns are retarded too because you can barely feel the bump. Really only the blues make sense but theyre the ones zoomers consider shitty? Like what the fuck, whats even the point of a mechanical keyboard if the good switches are not even good to type or game on. At that point just get a membrane

I get the LOUDEST fucking keys possible so my neighbors always know when I'm shitposting on Yea Forums.

Okay.

Mechanical keyboards are a meme anyway. Loud and pointless. Get adjusted to any half decent cheap thing and you'll do just as well.

t. retard who doesn't know how good reds feel

bitch i own a red keyboard i got from a friend after he got a new one, this sucks to type on. id much rather have a blue and i ordered one

reds arent even loud, the opposite actually, and i hate it, i want my keyboard to be noisy but i cant even have that

I do
faster actuation > muh clicky clicky thonk thonk
not only superior for gaming but typing aswell if you can do it properly

Imagine thinking about this sort of thing

I do that. I have blue switches on my keyboard at work so I can hammer those shits as hard as I can. I use browns at home.

theyre really not superior, i wanna feel when i actuate, and what kinda retard needs actuation that quick for such a short distance anyways?

>imagine thinking about the thing youll be using for the majority of gaming
you're the type to use madcatz controllers arent you

I bought pic related.
Once it dies out I will take the RGB classic off white keycaps and try to find a hot swappable mechanical keyboard and use those keys on it.

I barely use the RGB

i smashed the keys too hard with blues and my fingers got tired playing so much mmo so i need super light switches or i get old man hand cramps

people with weak hands

As I type on my comfy $10 membrane keyboard, I laff at mechanicucks.

>every controller button has some form of tactile feedback
literally none of them do

I'm not a virgin so I just use left. Clicky keyboards are literally for autistic fags who think the best part of their week is when they get to take all the caps off to clean that shit or else it stops working

>tfw fell for the Kailh Blue meme
it kinda just feels like a membrane keyboard that clicks, I thought the click was supposed to be the actuation point
are Cherry MX Blues any better?

All blues suck, user.

>he doesnt know how rubber membranes work
literally every controller ever has tactile buttons. be it through membranes on controllers or mechanical switches on arcade sticks. show me one controller that doesnt have tactile buttons, i dare you

Tactile refers to a type of travel, not a mechanism of operation. Controller buttons are always tactile.

BASED I DO THAT TOO

>/g/ told me to get a Filco
>I've had it for over a decade now
>no problems whatsoever
Literally the oldest piece of tech in my office now. And wtf are you smoking thinking silent mechanicals don't give feed back. It's called pressing down the key unless you're using some shit keyboard like Apple makes.

For me, it's $5 keyboards from the supermarket.

I've never used a mechanical keyboard, always wanted one just cause I think something like a die cast metal capset would probably be good for me with how I type.
I've used a model M with a handful of converters/adaptors for well over 20 years now, but it's starting to finally die on me, a few of the keys don't work, I've cleaned them to the best of my ability but in truth the contacts are just worn down from being typed on every single day for years and I have nowhere near the skill to try a repair like that.

I listened to /g/ and fell for the mechanical keyboard meme. Had to send it back because it's SO LOUD.
Chiclet for life.

Same.

You'll likely be using those for years, if not decades. You have to invest in the good shit my man. $10 membrane office keyboards is where it's at

I regret ever getting a mechanical keyboard for personal use
>Fingers get stuck between WASD randomly
>CLICK CLICK CRUNCH CLICK CLICK
>Becomes dirty as fuck within a week and takes an hour to clean

I do this and then when we have a zoom meeting for work I put my webcam on my desk right behind my keyboard so people wrap up faster.

>being too retarded to know when you hit a key or not

Never got that and the fucking clicking is more than annoying, not to mention you pay premium for an inferior product. The best are those youtuber faggots that ruin their own videos with that shit clicking

>that guy whose push to talk key sounds like a massive clunky button an old tape deck

Reds are faster

>diablo 3 just came out
>in skype with the boys
>do a hardcore run for fun
>friend with a mechanical keyboard tapping along
>things get hectic
>*tac tac tac* intensifies
>[mechanical keyboard friend has died]
anyways now i got brown switches and can never go back to membrane

>still running the same mechanical keyboard from the 90's
>just replace switches when I need to

When people complain about the clacking I tell them to fuck off.

For me, it's boba u4s

Get me those kalih jade box royals

buckling spring or nothing

Where my model m chads at?

Redpill me on optical switches, is there ANY downside?

reminder
>the only clickies you should look at are kailh box jades/navies
>the only tactiles you should look at are boba u4/u4t and glorious pandas
>the only linears you should look at are gateron yellows

Im literally pressing a physical button

Based

Most people here are so fat/unhealthy that they have long lost most feeling in their fingers

its no different from pressing down a spring

I have a model M and I love it but I can't use it anymore now that I live with other people

I have a Microsoft keyboard and it's fucking cool as fuck. I think it's linear. I fucking hate any unnecessary sounds. My last keyboard was this chinese trash mechanical gaming keyboard and the keys would only press 1 out of 3 tries, it was the worst piece of shit I've ever used.

Something tactile but not super hard
