AtotehZ Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Hey guys, I'm about to buy a Corsair K70 or K95. I haven't used mechanical keyboards since I had an IBM with Windows 3.1 back in the early 90's. Which switches would make for a fluent transition from a membrane keyboard like the G19? I pretty much know the stats of all the switches, but I haven't felt them with my fingers. Black seems like the key for me without tactile feedback. Brown seems like the key for me with tactile feedback. How do these compare to the G19? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopo942 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 You can't really compare mechanical switches to membrane switches since they're a completely different switch type. I'm a former Logitech G19 user, got the STRAFE RGB with MX Browns and have had no problems. My dad has an IBM keyboard lying around somewhere, he said it feels exactly the same compared to this. (LOL!) It's completely up to you whether you want the lighter browns with a bump, or the stiffer blacks without a bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would highly recommend you find a place where you can try the switches, in general, if not off the actual K70/K95 themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Henry Posted January 4, 2016 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 4, 2016 I would highly recommend you find a place where you can try the switches, in general, if not off the actual K70/K95 themselves. ^ Best suggestion. Mech KB have a completely different feel compared to rubber dome. Trying them out first hand to see which fit is the best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimlock Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I went from two Logitech G15s to two K95s. I went with one red and one brown. I think I slightly prefer the red, but I've only had them a few days. The difference is really subtle to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seethi Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 MX Reds are most similar to rubber domes as they are linear. Very touchy though, you'll have to be more delicate about pushing keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
