These silent, tactile switches are specifically intended for office and home use and are one of the favorites of typists everywhere. MX Browns are lighter than many other switch types, making for a very easy typing experience. The feedback from the keypress is very subtle, but is perfect for learning to touch-type. The quiet nature of the MX Brown is one of its most desirable attributes, making them easy to use in any environment.

Outemu Brown Switches

These switches are extremely smooth and pleasant switches to type with very light bumps and reliable keypresses. The build quality and manufacture is great and the only seriously noticeable friction is found upon bottoming out, which is not an encouraged practice to begin with. The bump and following valley are approximately equal in height and length, making the Outemu Brown keypress similar to a gentle wave. The actuation is just a bit after 2 mm, which makes it take place a little after Cherry and Kai Hua switches, requiring just a bit more overall force to operate.

Zealio Switches

Gateron Zealio's or commonly known as just "Zealios" are a switch that was commissioned by the online user "ZealPC" and they are marketed as a better than Cherry MX Clear switch. These switches are actually clones of the Cherry MX Tactile Grey switch, using a lower force spring to make them easier to use. They are actually a very good clone switch compared to other Gateron offerings, with superior consistency and friction attributes to their more common switch types. Enterprising keyboard enthusiasts that can’t access Zealios easily could take Kai Hua Brown Springs (60 g) and place them in Cherry MX Tactile Grey switches for essentially the same switch.

Cherry MX Red:

Cherry MX Red Mechanical Switches

The MX Red switch is a branding exercise by Cherry Corporation to reinvent their original design, the MX Black switch. This linear switch is lighter than the original Black counterpart, but only differs in spring selection and plastic color selection. It is often stated that MX Reds are “preferred by gamers”, and this delightful rumor has been repeated so often that it is now in fact becoming truth. The original idea was that because there was no tactile bump, it would ever so slightly easier to rapidly push, however any actual increase in speed would be negligible.

Outemu Red Switches

The Outemu Red switch is a relatively smooth linear switch, much firmer and with more total actuation force required than the Cherry MX Red switch. This makes the Outemu Red almost a lighter, less steep version of the Cherry MX Black switch.
