Actuation Force: 60cN
The Blue switches are popular within the typing community because of the “clicky” tactile bump
when the activation point is hit. The overall experience of Blue switches is very similar to
typewriters, however, those around you might not be as big of a fan due to the audio feedback.
The standard “clicky” versions of Das Keyboards utilize Blue switches.
Light Tactile Switch: Cherry MX Clear
Actuation Force: 65cN
Cherry MX Clear switches are a bit harder to find in keyboards, but many users consider them to
have more of a tactile feel than the Browns without being as clicky as the Blue switches. The
clear switches have a higher actuation force than the Brown switches and a more pronounced
tactile bump. Also, Clears tend to have the most friction among mechanical key switches, this is
due to the size of the tactile bump.
Linear Switch: Cherry MX Red
