The keyboard came with Cherry Brown switches which are what I would consider to be the greatest argument ever against working from the office. They were ridiculously loud. And stiff enough that even someone who types as hard as I do noticed how hard I had to press.

Wow! Browns feel positivity light and quiet to me. (Blues are pure evil to have in an office though.) One of the lovely things about the Ergodox EZ (and the Moonlander the same company, which is what I have) is that you can swap the switches out to your liking. I’m glad the author was able to find something they liked!




I use Kailh Box Navy switches. Sounds like Cherry blues but deeper and louder. Like a v6 vs a v8. Ha. I work from home though. Although I will say I don’t think the crappy membrane dell keyboards are quiet the sound is just different.
