Actually i still not really know how means by the soft tactile non clicky. Since non clicky, how it be tactile? some more with a specific actuation force 45cN.
My understanding is like this, the different MX red and Brown is
MX red, the key is as heavy as MX black, and they are linear non clicky. But MX red will register keystroke when the force reach 45cN which the actuation depth with MX black is different.
THen for MX brown, the key is harder to press but still register keystroke at 45cN but will has less depth compare to the 45cN in MX red.
Conclude, MX red and MX black are the same, but need press to deeper with 60cN.
MX red and MX brown feel different, easier to press red but hard to press MX brown but both actuate with only 45cN.
All above is assumption, correct me if I predict wrongly.
all the cherry mx actuate at 2mm
mx red and mx brown use the same force, they only need 45g to press down the key easily, means their spring are kinda light.good for touch typist. the only difference is cherry mx brown give you tactile feedback.
mx black need 60g force to press the key down, actuate after 2mm key travel. it's spring are harder. for some1 who have strong fingers. if you have soft finger want to touch type on mx black, is kinda hard. mx black are for those who prefer silent too, because they are linear, they not clicky, and they need higher force like 60g, the higher force will prevent you from bottoming up the key, and without bottoming up the key, you will reduce alot of noise.
