I got the corsair k63 wireless and can wholeheartedly say that this mechanical switch is amazing. I love the sensitivity, my edits and builds have gotten way faster compared to when I was using a membrane keyboard. I can now never switch back to memb

The light actuation force makes it easy to unintentionally press keys as you are typing. The light actuation force, however, makes gaming feel very responsive and fast. Your hand will never be strained while playing or typing on these switches.

I love these switches! The lack of tactility and a lot audible feedback when bottoming out makes these a great choice. As a fast typist i would reccomend this to other fast typists.

Typing with silent reds are terrible. Lots of misclicks and I’ll press the button once and it’ll send like 4 spaces sometimes. Good for gaming though.

Good for gaming but you can mess up typing. You can get used to it though. (I’m the 1000th review yay)

Very light touch gives great performance when gaming but when typing, it can be too easy to catch a key you don't want by mistake. I type faster with these, but I need to work on my precision now.

it really depends on getting used to the feel, as it has a really small force to get the input this might help you typing faster and in terms of games less delay because of the short travel distance, but untill you get used to the "cloud typing" it c
