Your Guide to Tactile Mechanical Keyboard Switches

Tactile switches are a popular choice for many mechanical keyboard builders, but choosing the right one can be a challenge. To help you make an informed decision, we've answered some of the most common questions about tactile switches.

What is a tactile switch?

A tactile switch provides feedback in the form of a noticeable bump during a keypress, confirming that the keystroke has been registered. Unlike linear switches that offer a smooth press, or clicky switches that produce an audible click, tactile switches give you physical feedback without the loud noise. This makes them an excellent choice for typing and gaming, especially in an office or shared living space.

How do I choose the right tactile switch?

Selecting the perfect tactile switch is a matter of personal preference. Key factors to consider include the actuation force, the intensity of the tactile bump, and the materials used for the switch housing and stem. Watching typing tests and reading reviews can provide valuable insights. If you are new to custom keyboards, starting with a medium-weight tactile switch is often a good entry point to discover your preferences.

How does actuation force impact typing feel?

Actuation force, measured in grams (g), dictates the resistance you feel when pressing a key. Switches with a lower actuation force (around 45g) are easier to press, which can enhance typing speed and reduce finger fatigue. In contrast, heavier switches (60g or more) provide greater resistance, which helps prevent accidental keypresses and delivers a more substantial typing experience for your mechanical keyboard.

What are the most popular tactile switches?

The mechanical keyboard community favors several tactile switches for their performance and feel. Cherry MX Browns are a well-known, reliable option. Gateron Browns offer a smoother experience at a more affordable price. For a stronger, more pronounced tactile bump, enthusiasts often turn to Glorious Panda switches and Zealio V2 switches. The market is also rich with innovative designs from manufacturers like Kailh, Durock, and JWK.

Should I lubricate my tactile switches?

Lubricating tactile switches is a popular modification for achieving a smoother keypress and a more refined sound. However, it requires a careful approach. Applying too much lubricant, particularly on the stem legs where the bump is generated, can diminish or completely remove the tactile feedback. It's best to use a thin lubricant and apply it sparingly to the housing and stem rails while avoiding the stem legs.
