Cherry MX Brown switches are a popular type of mechanical keyboard switch known for their tactile feedback. They provide a noticeable bump when pressed, allowing users to feel when a key has been activated without needing to bottom out the key. This feature makes them suitable for both typing and gaming. These switches have a medium actuation force, typically around 45 grams, which strikes a balance between ease of use and resistance. Cherry MX Brown switches are often favored by users who want a quieter typing experience compared to Cherry MX Blue switches, which are clicky and louder.
