Cherry MX blue switch – Clicky
The Cherry MX blue switches have a “clicky” tactile bump when the activation
point is hit. This feedback helps to increase typing speed by reducing effort
needed to push the keys all the way down. The Cherry MX blue switch is the most
“clicky” of the Das Keyboard line.

2.0 hub and braided cable.

Best-In-Class Cherry MX Switches
Das Keyboard uses best-in-class, Cherry MX mechanical key switches that provide
tactile and audio feedback so accurate it allows you to execute every keystroke
with lightning-fast precision. Its high-performance, gold-plated switches
provide the best contact and typing experience because, unlike other metals,
gold does not rust, increasing the lifespan of the switch. The Das Keyboard
4 root mechanical keyboard is available in both the Cherry MX Brown and Cherry
MX Blue switches.
