Compared To Other Keyboard Switches

Cherry MX Brown

Cherry MX Brown and Gateron G Brown Pro are switches with a small tactile bump to overcome during actuation. The Gateron switches feel a bit smoother out of the box as they're pre-lubed from the factory, while the Cherry switches aren't. Additionally, the Gateron switches have a clear upper housing for better RGB illumination.
