Do you enjoy using your yellow switch model?
hasn't arrived yet
i had to get the quieter one for my partner to remain sane…. haha
orange should feel better when typing but yellow should be better for gaming.
I had yellow and really didn’t enjoy it so I returned and got orange, much happier
What was wrong with the yellow and why do you like the orange now?
@Alaken: orange and green got more of a clicky feel for those who like a bit of feedback when pressing it. More satisfying when typing..
however for gaming its like u want to press it with the least resistance plus sound gets annoying if u need to communicate with a headset.
@Alaken: Orange was wayyy to sensitive, I’d always accidentally press the keys when just resting my hands on the keyboard
I also missed the clicky feel which I get from the orange
Honestly I think there isn’t much of a sound difference between the two, the yellows still have a bit of sound as the key bottoms out
I contacted Amazon and they said that they will refund the postage once it is sent because it should be free postage for items over $49. So I’m hoping it gets refunded.
Really good price
My BF deal still hasn't shipped from Amazon US…
same here, its been nearly 10 days since I placed an order.
Still no update on the shipping.
My bf deal only got posted today, I contacted Amazon prior to this and they said they will refund the postage once it is sent because it should be free postage for items over $49. So I’m hoping it gets refunded.
how did u get them to?
Currently with them in chat but they said this item was not eligible for free shipping so cant refund me the item
Maybe the person I was emailing didn’t realise it wasn’t eligible for free shipping? I’ll let you know if it gets refunded though.
Which one is the quieter one? My current kb does the tap tap tap noise.
Yellow switch is the quietest.
I got this from Amazon for a similar price a few months back. Amazing keyboard but a bit loud when I’m doing teleconference calls. Probably the best usability upgrade I’ve made for my pc.
I got it with green switches.
The TE is also on sale:
Green Switches version for $126.31
Orange Switches $137.30
Yellow $128.44

What's the best way to test keyboards in Vic? Should I order all 3 types and check which one I like best?Never owned a gaming keyboard before, planning to build my own pc. I plan on playing apex legends, r6 seige and overwatch type games. Thanks.
this is a GREAT keyboard
i bought one back in september (orange switch) at $159
i just bought another one at this price at $140
its a good price as well .
So whats the differences between:
Green
Orange
Yellow
Green = Clicky switch
Orange = Tactile switch
Yellow = Linear switch
Hmmmmm……which one would be good for gaming and everyday use?
i find green switches super nice to type on as well as gaming. they are really loud tho
@Aerith-Waifu: Yes most people would say try them first.
From generally what I have heard / read:
- Clicky (satisfying for newbs but loud and cheap sounding)
- Tactile (good middle ground for typing and game)
- Linear (light to press & quiet, good for games because you can press quicker)
dont buy gaming junk you noobs. gaming tax for gamers
Orange Switch price drop to $132.27 now
Damn wonder if it'd drop even further than the $128 price from BF
great price. BF sale i paid 156.71 for the yellow switch. Orange was the same i think.
Green usually 130 but not atm.
