How they feel and sound
Cherry MX Blue
A sharp, high-pitched click and a bump you can feel on the way down, from a click jacket inside. Loud and classic, so better at home than in a shared office.
Gateron Blue
A crisp, bright click and a bump on the way down, a little crisper than Cherry's. Loud, so best kept out of shared offices.
