Corsair mechanical keybaords use N-key rollover which means that you can use any number of simultaneous keypresses and all will register properly at once. Some keyboards may only have 6-Key Rollover which means that the keyboard may only be able to display 6 simultaneous keys at once. (thanks to Manyak at for the guide and Leathal Squirrel at for the gifs):Ī: These terms are often used to describe keyboard features and both refer to how many keys can be simultaneously pressed to register input. Some people prefer the browns because they dislike the clicking of the blue but prefer the reduction in sensitivity of the red switches. Requiring 55g of actuation force, the Cherry MX Brown uses a tactile switch for feedback similar to a bump as you press the key (similar to that of a membrane keyboard). While not as optimal for gaming, some people prefer the blue switch for typing since it is not as sensitive as the reds.Ĭherry MX Brown: Cherry MX Browns (only available on the K70) is the mechanical switch best described as being a compromise between Cherry MX Red and Cherry MX Blue. Requiring 60g of actuation force, this key switch is popular for those who prefer to hear a click when a key is pressed.
Since the actuation at 45g is relatively small, the keys are also easy to press and register for quick actions.Ĭherry MX Blue: Cherry MX Blue (only available on the K70) is the mechanical switch that is less sensitive as the Cherry MX Red and uses tactile feedback with a click. Most gamers prefer this switch because it makes double-taps quick and easy. It has linear feedback which means that the key when pressed will not have a bump or click to it. Here is a good visual example of what each switch does.Ĭherry MX Red: Cherry MX Red is the switch we use the most on our Corsair keyboards. However, as it is easier to say Cherry MX Red (representing linear feedback and 45g of force for actuation) than it is to say Cherry Switch MX1A-L1XX. Despite the fact that the switches are referred to by color, Cherry actually does not identify them as such. Q: What does Cherry MX Brown/Red/Blue mean?Ī: All Corsair mechanical keyboards use Cherry MX switches which differ on actuation force and feedback. Membrane keys are quieter than mechanical switches and are what most people are accustomed to. Our latest line-up of RGB Keyboards exclusively use Cherry MX RGB switches with Cherry MX Red RGB available with K65/K70/K95 RGB and Cherry MX Brown available with K70/K95 RGB.Ĭorsair Raptor keyboards use a rubber membrane switch, similarly found in most other keyboards in the market.
Our K65 and K95 use Cherry MX Reds while our K70 has Cherry MX Red, Blue, or Brown available. Q: What is the difference between a mechanical switch and a membrane switch?Ī: Our lineup of Corsair Gaming Keyboards use mechanical key switches, specifically Cherry MX switches. Here are some common questions people have been asking along with some additional information about the products.
