If you're a keyboard aficionado like me, you know that the difference between a great typing experience and a mediocre one is all in the switches. And when it comes to switches, Cherry MX is one of the most trusted names in the mech keyboard world. But what sets apart the Cherry MX RGB Switch Mute from other switches?
First off, let me clarify that this product from LUO is not a full keyboard or switch tester. It's just the shaft and switches. So, if you're looking to build your own custom mechanical keyboard or replace the switches on an existing one, this is the product for you.
Now, onto the switches themselves. The Cherry MX RGB Switch Mute comes in two options: Pink and Gray. I opted for the Gray switches, as they seemed to be the best for typing and gaming. The muted aspect of these switches means they feel a bit smoother and softer than the traditional Cherry MX switches. They make for a more satisfying typing experience as the keys feel more "cushioned" when pressed.
One thing to note is that the Cherry MX RGB Switch Mute is only compatible with PCB SMD LED mechanical keyboards, such as the GK61 and GK64. If you have an optical keyboard or 2 pin/4 pin switch LED, these switches won't work for you. Also, during the delivery process, the pins of the switches may get bent. Don't worry, this is normal and can be easily fixed with nail clippers.
As for installation, it's relatively easy if you have any experience with building mechanical keyboards. Just make sure you have a soldering iron and some flux on hand. The Cherry MX RGB Switch Mute fits snugly into the PCB and feels secure once soldered in. The muted aspect of the switches don't seem to affect the RGB lighting too much, as the colors still look bright and vibrant.
As for durability, I've been using these switches for a few weeks now and they've held up well. Cherry MX switches are known for their longevity, and I don't anticipate any issues with these switches.
To sum it up, the Cherry MX RGB Switch Mute Gray switches are a great choice for those looking to upgrade their mechanical keyboard's switches. They provide a softer, more cushioned typing experience and are compatible with a variety of PCB SMD LED mechanical keyboards. Just make sure to double-check compatibility before purchasing. Overall, I give the Cherry MX RGB Switch Mute a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
In terms of SEO optimization, I've made sure to include the product name multiple times throughout the review, as well as mentions of the brand and specific details (such as compatibility with PCB SMD LED keyboards and bent pins during delivery). Additionally, I've tried to include a good mix of long-tail and short-tail keywords, such as "Cherry MX RGB Switch Mute" and "mechanical keyboard switches." This should help the review be more easily discovered by search engines.
