Compared To Other Keyboard Switches

Cherry MX Brown

Cherry MX Brown and Kailh Speed Copper switches have small tactile bumps to overcome during actuation. The MX Brown switches are designed for everyday typing and gaming. In contrast, the Kailh Speed Copper switches are designed specifically for gaming and have a much shorter pre-travel distance and significantly better latency performance.
