  • Switch stan here, since you want snappy switches i would almost rule out Linear ones, that leaves Clicky switches and Tactile switches.

    For clickies there are the Kailh Box White (light spring, light click), Jade (light spring, heavy click) and Navy (heavy spring, heavy click). Dont listen to anyone recommending Cherry MX blue switches, the Kailh box switches are way better.

    Your Outemu Browns are tactile switches, with the different brands of “brown” always being light spring switches with very light tactile bump that is in the middle of the keystroke.

    With tactiles it gets the most complicated because while Linears just vary in sound, weight, and smoothness (mostly at least), Clickies, add the heaviness of the click itself into the mix but generally all have the click in the middle of the keystroke, while with Tactiles the position of the Tactile bump varies a lot between different Switches and will alter the feel of the switch a lot.

    Since you want more snappiness id look for either a tactile with a larger bump that is further up at the beginning of the keystroke (maybe a stronger spring, but a strong spring can also cause the bump to be less noticeable) like the boba u4t, or a clicky switch like the Kailh box jade or navy switch.















  • it sounds like the person hasn’t even used Linux but just did their research and found out their software doesn’t work on Linux and didn’t. Which is what everyone should be doing is evaluating if Linux will even work for them before committing to it.

    If the original comment stood alone without rebuttal someone might think that Professional music recording in general isn’t possible on Linux when it clearly is possible if you are willing to adapt to the Software and Hardware that is available on Linux.
