Glorious Gateron, Linear Silent - Brown Switches

Product Information

It’s lighter than the competition too, with a peak tactile force of just 48g, closely matching the Cherry equivalent by only 3g according to HaaTa’s force curves. It’s fairly comparable to the Cherry MX Brown in this regard, which I personally dislike; it’s too light for my taste. Sound: 5/10

The design of the brown switch makes it excellent for beginners, but people who have used brown switches for a while might find them a tad dull and boring. Are Brown Switches Good For Gaming? The switch has a small tactile bump which makes it good for accurate typing and programming, although it may not be the best option for gaming. The SwitchCaptain Authentication program includes a holographic seal on every item we sell, each seal has a unique code that lets you verify your product came from the original brand.

If you are looking for a budget keyboard, they will usually have Outemu switches.As you can see from the table above, Gateron has a comprehensive lineup of switches that all offer a unique feel and aesthetic. There are a ton of different brown switch options out there. Let’s take a look at the most popular ones and talk about the specifications and benefits of each switch. Cherry MX Brown Type: Tactile The feel of the Gateron Brown switches is similar to Cherry MX Browns but they just aren’t as durable. Gateron Optical Brown Type: Tactile Gateron Browns are probably your best bet if you want to save money but still have a high quality switch.

Smoothness is by far its biggest selling point. The Gateron Brown outperforms all brown clone switches in this department, but not a huge margin. It’s certainly an upgrade from the Cherry MX Brown; the switch it’s copying from. Instead of the typical mechanical switch where the electrical plates need to touch for the switch to actuate, instead one the stem moves past a certain point light will actuate the switch.Due to the smoothness of Gateron switches, we definitely prefer their silent switches to other switches.
