    Dude, not going to lie, this video didn't look all that professional, but man did you explain this SO perfectly. I use Cherry reds for gaming and LOVE them, so I was looking for a new 60% for typing at my job, with reds. Decided to get the Cherry browns because I use Gateron clears which are linear as well and I make TONS of mistakes just like you said. Thumbs up, and thank you. Hope your channel grows.

      Just remember, there's a lot more than just cherry, I personally am not a very big fan of their clicky or tactile switches, their linear are pretty decent though

      @@nsummy I really miss the days you tube had these type of videos. Now the content creator will fill you with 100 facts that you don't really need to know before answering what the title said it would. The extra information is nice but sometimes it's obviously just to get you to the 10 or 15 minute mark.

I'm not bashing on them its just that I already got what I needed to know in a 5 minutes video than a 20-minute video that may or may not have more information or just an over-explained video.

  • @idylledoll
    @idylledoll 6 месяцев назад +1

    I've bounced back and forth between linear and tactile and I now conclude that although linear SOUNDS great, it is really not the best to type on for accuracy (I'm a touch typist about 90 wpm and 98% accuracy on a tactile keyboard but I go down 80 wpm at 95% on a linear) so typing is far more accurate with that tactile bump. I also find my fingers get more strained when using linear switches. My favourite keyboard to date is the CK75 by Coolkiller with tactile switches, they're thocky/clacky and super satisfying to type on but not too loud for public spaces.
