I’ll preface this by saying I’ve only used cherry mx brown switches before.

Recently I decided to try Akko Silver linear switch, and while it feels great when I’m gaming, for work I’ve been getting the tips of my fingertips hurting. Is it just me or are they not for this sort of thing?

    It’s you!

    As everybody writes here: How good switches work is highly subjective.

    I feel the same and switched to early and slightly heavier tactiles, the Gateron Bananas Low Profile and the Gateron Baby Kangaroos. I like the Bananas and absolutely love the BKs! Maybe linears give you an edge, when you a really into competitive gaming, but tactiles are totally okay for that, too. The Browns don’t sound or feel nice in any way, but with their small bumb, they are perfectly fine middle-of-the-ground switches.

    Just one thing: Clickies are NOT fine for gaming. Only crazy people use them for that.
