User Feedback
MX RGB Blues are a dream for writers, programmers, and keyboard traditionalists who crave that clicky, typewriter-style feel. Users love the crisp tactile bump and distinct click — it’s satisfying, accurate, and gives a feeling of mechanical "truth" with every press. The clear top housing makes them a hit in RGB builds, especially when paired with shine-through caps or vibrant themes.
On the flip side, they’re not exactly quiet. These switches are loud — like “your coworkers might stage an intervention” loud. Some gamers also find the clickiness a bit distracting during intense sessions, especially in multiplayer voice chats or quiet environments.
Still, if you love clicky feedback and want your keyboard to shine as brightly as it sounds, Cherry MX RGB Blues are a top-tier option. Whether you’re typing essays, writing code, or just want that satisfying clack with a glow-up, these switches are a classic with a modern twist.
