Switches are the assemblies that give mechanical keyboard keys a unique feel and sound. Linear (red) switches are best for gaming and provide constant resistance. Tactile (brown) switches offer stronger resistance right before theyβre activated, while clicky (blue) switches do much the same but also provide an audible "click." Mechanical
Reds have almost no resistance and they're completely linear. Browns need a little more force to push down and you can clearly feel when the key registers. I'm using reds. 2. UrinalMint β’ 8 yr. ago. It all comes down to feel and comfort for you, honestly. I've tried reds and browns and like reds better for gaming.Other than that, the main difference is the type of switches. Both options use Logitech proprietary switches; the G512 is available with different GX switches, while the G513 uses Romer-G switches. The GX Blue Clicky switches on our G512 unit have a longer pre-travel distance and require more force to actuate than the G513's Romer-G Tactiles. They have a low actuation force, at 45 cN β tied with Brown for the lowest of the four most common switches. Red switches have been marketed as a gaming switch, with the light weighting allowing for more rapid actuation, and have become increasingly common in gaming keyboards. ## Tactile, non-clicky switches .
