Popular Keyboard Switch Comparisons
Cherry MX Blue
Cherry MX Blue and Outemu Blue are similar clicky switches with click jacket designs, making a clicking sound on the downstroke. The Cherry switches have a noticeably heavier actuation feeling. They're also generally recognized as more durable and consistent in switch-to-switch feeling. On the other hand, the Outemu switches are a bit louder, metallic, clicky sound that many enjoy but others may find somewhat rattly.
