This price is only for the linear red switches. If you want clicky switches (Razer's purple switches), the price is $159.
For some reason, the linear Huntsman Mini has a cheaper RRP than the clicky Huntsman Mini ($219.95 compared to $169)?
Why do linear switches even exist, they are so depressing. If you want mushy shit keys save a lot of money and get a $20 Kmart keyboard.
linear switches sound great lubed and filmed, way better than clicky switches for custom keyboards imo
Subjective, there are some really nice enthusiast clicky switches out there
Who cares how they sound?
They feel like a souped up rubber dome.
@MagnamoniousRex: its all personal preference, personally i like the feel, it also depends on what switch and lube you use.
@MagnamoniousRex: Maybe if you're using cheap linears or o-rings.
I have happily used a range of tactiles and clickies, but 205g0 lubed Gateron Optical Blacks are my current switch of preference - they are downright silky.

FYI, I got the white clicky mini for $99 just a month ago from wireless1.
afterpay deal expired last night
I bought this for $101 during a previous Ebay Plus deal. Been using this for 3 months now and I've had 0 issues. If you're going from a full size or TKL you'd need to get used to using the function key a lot. Other than that, razer synapse is known for being a hit and a miss but honestly if you're not big into macros or backlighting it's not too big of a deal to go without it. You can still change cycle through RGB presets using hotkeys.
Handy if you want LPE on a PC https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/razer-bug-let…
