Tactile vs. Clicky vs. Linear: Choosing the Right Type for Your Gaming Keyboard

Tactile vs. Clicky vs. Linear: Choosing the Right Type for Your Gaming Keyboard

Finding the right mechanical keyboard switch can make a real difference in how you game and type. At VRKAA, we’ve broken down the three main types: Clicky, Tactile, and Linear, to help you understand what might suit you best.

 

 

Tactile Switches:

Tactile switches (usually Brown switches) give you a small bump when you press a key, helping you feel each keystroke without the loud noise. They’re great if you want accurate input during long gaming or typing sessions.

Example: Logitech G413 SE

Clicky Switches:

Clicky switches (usually Blue switches) offer both a bump and a distinct click sound. Some gamers enjoy the sound and feedback as it makes each press feel more deliberate. If you like hearing each key you press, this might be for you.

Example: Redragon Kumara K552

Linear Switches:

Linear switches (usually Red switches) are quiet and don’t have a tactile bump. The press is smooth and consistent, which helps with fast-paced gameplay where every second counts.

Example: Redragon Dragon Born K630

 

Everyone has different preferences.

Whether you like that subtle bump, the satisfying click, or a smooth keystroke, VRKAA is here to help you find the right fit. After deeply studying 200+ Mechanical Keyboards, we have discussed the Gear That Fits You so that you don't waste time researching for the perfect product for yourself.
