Cherry MX Browns and Blues are certainly quite different with respect to e.g. tactility. It's not just the noise. That having been said, all cherry switches have some common features, and there's a whole world of non-Cherry switches out there, with much greater variety.ZhakirSetie wrote: ↑10 Jun 2021, 09:02I really wanted the blue clicky ones from what I've read but this one comes with brown switches. Am I going to miss out on a huge difference between brown and blue? Is the difference just about the noise?
To get an idea of the differences between different Cherry switches, have a look at these force curves for Cherry MX Brown, Blue, Black, Red and Clear:
Not that these types of switches are bad (I quite like some MX style switches), but as you can tell from the above graphs, all the Cherry MX switches follow a similar pattern. They're either linear or have small, rounded tactile bumps superimposed on a linearly increasing force curve.
Assuming that things haven't changed in the last couple of years, Outemu hotswap sockets only accept Outemu switches, because their pins are so thin. You'd have to modify other MX style switches to fit the Outemu sockets.ZhakirSetie wrote: ↑10 Jun 2021, 09:02This keyboard supposedly has replaceable switches, which you can just pull out and switch with different ones. Would I be forced to buy Outemu switches as replacement, or would it be possible to use cherry switches or something else?
Hope you don't mind me asking, but why did you go for this keyboard?ZhakirSetie wrote: ↑10 Jun 2021, 09:02Hi! I'm receiving my new Redragon K556-RK Devarajas this Friday [...]
Lastly has anyone had issues with this keyboard in the long term? Some of the reviews pointed out hiccups after a few months of usage on other, lower end keyboards by Redragon
It does of course look fun, but also seems like it would be horribly uncomfortable to type on.
If it turns out that you like mechanical keyboards, I'll bet you a dollar that you'll be coming back for something better
EDIT: Just to give you a taste of the possible variety within clicky switches, here are a couple of YouTube videos you may find fun:
