Are they louder than blue switches???

Yeah, it’s a whole different kind of noise. Rather than a monotonic chorus of clicks, it’s a polyphonic cacophony of clicks, clacks, plonks thunks, rattles and the occasional twang, like only a buckling spring switch can offer.

I love mine. But I also heavily rely on noise-cancellation when I’m screen sharing or video calling.

It's been like 15 years since I operated one yet the sound and weight of that spacebar is still eerily vivid in my mind.

Totally, I have a Keychron right now and its sound is comparatively heavily muffled.

If I'm ever to be coerced to RTO my devilish secret plan is to bring a Model M to drive the point home.
