- aroch 10y agoBuckling springs are more of a deep clack instead of the sharper click you get from the MX blue / red, or a dull click you get from clears
- fzzzy 10y agoMuch louder than the cherry mx blue. There's a spring inside which buckles sideways. The point at which it buckles provides the physical and audio feedback.
- creshal 10y agoWhich is the big difference to all the Cherry switches: Those are inherently linear (and quiet), some variants just have plastic latches glued to a side to emulate the clicking noise and tactile feedback (both of which useless, because they're decoupled from actual actuation).
