I'm having a little trouble following. Do I have this right:

- blues are louder than reds

- You had a red keyboard and you didn't think you needed the noise

- but then you got the blue which was much louder and you enjoyed this

If that's what you mean, what did you mean by this:

>Just because the sound isn't necessary or helpful doesn't mean it's pleasing to have it.

do you mean "just because it isn't necessary doesn't mean it's NOT pleasing to have it" (in fact for you it IS pleasing to have it - you enjoy the noise?)

let me know if I am reading your comment right. it sounds like you very much enjoy hearing loud clicks, to the point of installing a program to emulate them.

I know a lot of people who dislike the reds, they give the least feedback of all the cherry MX switches (be it force feedback or acoustic feedback). They are basically very light linear switches.

They are however popular in gaming, because the linearity of the force curve allows for fast repeat rates. In fact they made a silver variant, which is basically a red switch with a shorter travel way.

Yes, I missed the 'not'. I do enjoy hearing the keyboard.
