      Yep, this needs to be made super obvious if they're being advertised as hotswappable, since Opticals (while totally fine) are NOT compatible with regular switches.

    • CrispyChrispy on 17/08/2022 - 14:14
      +2

      They're on the heavier side, some may like it, some won't. You can definitely try lubing them to make them feel smoother and sound better but be careful, more stuff to go wrong with optical switches. Maybe watch a YT video on specifically lubing optical switches.

      • Erwark on 17/08/2022 - 14:54
        +2

        I use Gateron Optical Blacks on my daily (have used Opt Yellows and Browns too). Lubing them is amazing. There's actually less that can go wrong.

        There's no leaf to mess with and no pins to bend when opening. The switch doesn't electrically connect to the PCB, it pushes a pole through the laser in the board. Unless you literally obstruct the stem from bottoming out, they're pretty much bulletproof.

        • TinyTimmy on 17/08/2022 - 20:31

          It's usually that optical switches are different to a normal switch, often the lube may ruin the optical sensors causing it to not work if not done correctly.

          • Erwark on 17/08/2022 - 21:49

            @TinyTimmy: Where are you getting "often" from? You have to do something extremely wrong for that to happen. You'd have to literally fill the housing with with so much lube the stem is pumping it out the bottom. We're talking like 20-30x too much lube at which point any switch would just seize up anyway.

            Even then, 205g0 is non-conductive, so you can just wipe it off. It's just not an issue and I've fully modded several Gateron optical keyboards.

            @macrocephalic: I've got a Kemove Snowfox at work (60% with no arrows) and it's a little weird at first to have to press FN+ALT (for left arrow, just one example) but once you get used to it, it's fine.

    • iuselect on 17/08/2022 - 14:27
      +1

      none dedicated on a 60%. There would probably be some on a second layer using Fn. Or you could probably remap it with their software.

      Not just right, left up and down are missing too.

    • Nom on 17/08/2022 - 15:46

      Just to be clear, this still has arrow key functionality - they just aren't dedicated keys.

      In the same way that you access F3 by hitting Fn + 3, the arrow keys will be Fn + the four L<>? keys (or some other group of four keys in the right layout shape).

      This works just fine as long as you don't need a hotkey combination that mixes Fn keys and plain keys…

    Any of these similar to silent reds? Never dealt with gaterons, don't really need it but not gonna say no to a $40 mech board..

    • iuselect on 17/08/2022 - 14:33
      +1

      no. cherry silent reds are red switches with rubber dampeners on the stem legs. gateron red and black are just standard linears so you will get that "louder" sound with bottoming out.

      • doobey1231 on 17/08/2022 - 15:37

        So whats the difference between the two if both are linear? Plenty of experience with silent reds(have 5 keyboards with them already, definite favourite of mine). Zero experience with Gateron.

        • CrispyChrispy on 17/08/2022 - 15:45
          -1

          Well as @iuselect has said, Cherry Silent Reds have the rubber dampeners on the stem legs. It'll sound and feel a bit more rubbery or mushy (and quieter, thus silent switches) than regular red switches.

          Gateron switches are good in general, some consider them smoother than Cherry switches.

          • doobey1231 on 17/08/2022 - 18:58

            @CrispyChrispy: Why am I getting more information about switches I already own 5 sets of, yet less information about what I actually asked? I know how silent reds work I’m asking about the product posted lol

        • iuselect on 17/08/2022 - 17:55
          +1

          gateron red and blacks are both linear, but have different spring weights. so reds are lighter, easier to press and blacks are a bit heavier to bottom out.

    • cnut on 17/08/2022 - 15:03

      Do you use silent reds regularly? I found they just felt off for some reason and never got used to enjoying them.

      • doobey1231 on 17/08/2022 - 15:38

        I almost exclusively buy boards with silent reds in them now. I can totally understand them feeling off for some, the rubber damper in it would be the cause. But knowing thats the reason I have overlooked it and have grown to love the soft thock. I use open back headphones so silent keys are high on the priority for me.

  • 1192291 on 17/08/2022 - 14:24

    What is the difference between Gateron Black Switch and Gateron Blue Switch? Can't see the difference in the photo

    • iuselect on 17/08/2022 - 14:28
      +2

      Black is a linear switch, which means on the downstroke, you wont feel any resistance other than the spring. Blue switches are clicky switches which have a tactile (and loud) sharp click sound on the downstroke. If you want to use this in an office environment, go with black, they would be much more quieter.

  • Brrrrt on 17/08/2022 - 14:26

    red vs blue - which is quieter?

    • iuselect on 17/08/2022 - 14:27
      +3

      red (linear). blue is designed to be loud and clicky.

      • Brrrrt on 17/08/2022 - 14:27

        brain freeze back there sorry, was meant to ask between red and black

              @Brrrrt: Yup, switch feel and sound is largely subjective

        • iuselect on 17/08/2022 - 14:29
          +1

          generally red and black use different weighted springs. red are lighter springs, which means less resistance with pressing down.

          • Brrrrt on 17/08/2022 - 14:31
            +1

            @iuselect: ah gotcha. so both are pretty quiet and it just comes down to which i prefer right

            • iuselect on 17/08/2022 - 14:35
              +1

              @Brrrrt: yep, if you are pretty new to mechanical keyboards, maybe just go with reds. most people do. going to a heavier spring is pretty noticeable and I felt a bit of fatigue with typing all day. but it's something you get used to over time.

              • Brrrrt on 17/08/2022 - 14:39

                @iuselect: i see. im currently on a hyperx with aqua switches which I think is more akin to mx browns, would you still say red is better for me?

                • iuselect on 17/08/2022 - 14:43
                  +1

                  @Brrrrt: everyone has their own preference. if you don't like the little tactile bump on the bottom out then maybe linears are better for you. It's just a different feeling at the end of the day. I personally prefer the tactile bump and sound it makes over linears. But I don't game and pretty much only just code all day.

                  • Brrrrt on 17/08/2022 - 14:48

                    @iuselect: im fine with my current keyboard but im open to give linear switches a try haha. maybe i will go with the reds

    • Larsson on 17/08/2022 - 15:24
      +4

      Sure, just make sure you are aware the blue switches will have an audible click. Vs browns would be (a little) tactile without the extra noise, reds and blacks are linear so only noise from bottoming out like browns. Tho these all potentially will be much louder than a laptop keyboard or a flat low travel dome design keyboard.

      Otherwise, it’s just a keyboard. All good for office.

    • [Deactivated] on 17/08/2022 - 15:27

    This coupon has been available before the 3rd of August when I bought it for $38.50. It did disappear for a day or so and returned. Im surprised it wasn’t posted here earlier. I bought the grey colour with gateron brown optical switches and I am very happy with my purchase. The switches are very smooth and has a nice tactile bump since its from gateron. I did replace the keycaps as the spaces between them is too small for my liking, especially since I couldn’t differentiate the e keycaps by hand. Also, the characters in the keycaps don’t light up as well. Its a bummer that this coupon only applies to the wired version.

      If you're not planning on swapping in non-optical switches, it's not really any different.

        • Larsson on 17/08/2022 - 20:28

          Oh just thought about it but being 60% also probably can make it ‘gaming’ as they are most popular amongst gamers because they take up less space and you can angle the kb to be closer to the mouse. Also missing function row and arrows wouldn’t make it a very good daily keyboard either so I guess that’s why it’s called gaming.

          I wouldn’t think they have a good low latency as even keychrone and Logitech office keyboards and many large manufacturers don’t have good latency on their products unless it’s specificity designed for gaming.

          • n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm on 18/08/2022 - 17:40

            @Larsson: "they are most popular amongst gamers because they take up less space and you can angle the kb to be closer to the mouse."

            I saw that somewhere in a youtube video I think. They will push the left side of the keyboard up so the keyboard is almost vertical, and then put their fingers on WASD and the mouse is right next to it in their right hand.

            I guess it is kind of ergonomic keeping both hands in positions that are symmetrical.

            • Larsson on 18/08/2022 - 19:00

              @n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm: Yeah, honestly that’s the way I end up regardless of the keyboard after long gaming session since last 15-20 years. It’s just natural.

              That’s why Alice layout keyboards also exist because keyboard like a straight log isn’t right for us anatomically.

              Keyboard are the way they are because that was the easiest/cheapest way to produce type writers back in time….

              But that said as long as it’s not a 100% lay out or unusually large, all keyboards are okay when you put it on an angle for W S D gaming. Doesn’t work as well for games like dota or a lot of keyboard actions

    • monky on 17/08/2022 - 19:07

      I dunno why you got downvoted, this is a valid question if you wanna play older games that don't let you remap.

      Gaming keyboards often include an on-board processor to handle inputs, so you don't get 'ghosted' or dropped inputs while pressing several keys at once.

      Compared to cheaper keyboards (in build, not price. This tech is insanely cheap to implement), this has 'n-key' rollover and anti-ghosting, which means every key can be activated at the same time if you really wanted to smash your whole face into it.

        "Gaming keyboards often include an on-board processor to handle inputs, so you don't get 'ghosted' or dropped inputs while pressing several keys at once."

        Almost all keyboards have an onboard controller (processor). Even an old broken membrane keyboard I took apart and fixed had one, 90% of the keyboard was this transparent plastic circuit, but that plugs it's way like a ribbon cable into a tiny PCB which has the controller and USB port on it.

        They just differ in how much memory they have available and what "features" are enabled.

      KBDFans is my goto since they have blank DSA caps in a bunch of colours for cheap. They're doing BOGO on selected sets at the moment so you might be able to mix and match if you find something you like.
