A

linear switch

23
Q

are about halfway between a typing and a gaming switch.

A

brown switch

24
Q

are popular within the typing community because of the clicky tactile bump when the activation

A

blue switch

25
Q

bit harder to find in the keyboards, but uses consider them to have mary users consider them to have more of the tactile feel than the browns without being as clicky as the blue switches.

A
