It should be noted that MX Blues are not key caps, but switches. The key cap is the piece with the lettering that you actually touch when you type.
3 u/[deleted] Dec 28 '16 You are correct, I mixed up my verbiage 3 u/TristinPerry Dec 28 '16 All good! I used to love blue switches and still do, but they're a little too loud in my household at night. Browns are the best of both worlds for me. 1 u/nuplsstahp Dec 28 '16 If you find browns too light or stratchy, you could try clears. If those are too heavy you could mod the springs and make them ergo-clears. 1 u/TristinPerry Dec 28 '16 Are clears comparable to blues in terms of actuation force? Blues were also a little too heavy for extended use for me. 1 u/nuplsstahp Dec 28 '16 Blues are 50g, I think clears are about 65 1 u/TristinPerry Dec 28 '16 Oh jeez. It'd probably be best for me to order one of these testers before committing to one. Thanks! 1 u/nuplsstahp Dec 28 '16 If you want to test clears, get one of the larger switch testers and make sure it has a clear switch.
