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.

    The ratings for the HW-Q60C states that DTS X is not supported. There is a DTS X logo imprinted on the back face of mine. Which is correct?

    Hi RtingsUser1663562,

    The Samsung HW-Q60C has support for DTS Virtual:X which is a sound virtualization feature that simulates a wider surround environment by up-mixing content to give the impression of additional surround and height speakers.

    DTS:X is an audio codec that the HW-Q60C can’t output. Though, it can play DTS content and simulate a more immersive setup through the DTS Virtual:X digital enhancement.

    Thanks, Matt
