[cooldog4444]

Hello everyone, I am looking for a new keyboard, But since i have carpal tunnel/ Weird muscle weakness i have very little strength in my fingers, So i am looking for a mechanical keyboard that requires the Least force to activate the key, I heard MC cherry is the Easiest to press down, But i cannot confirm this,

Cherry MX red, Thats what i ment

Cherry MX Red and Cherry MX Brown have 45g of force to actuate. The reds will have no tacical feed back, so no click or bump. The browns have a bump.

The corsair keyboards have a Rapid Fire Cherry MX red switch that also has almost half the distance for actuation. So that would be a 1. 2mm to actuation instead of 2mm. If I'm remembering correctly, I believe they have a limited deal with Cherry for using the switch exclusively for a while.

Beyond that, there is a switch maker called Topre that makes 30g switches. Finding keyboards with that will be harder. I think Ducky has or had a line with those in it.

So cherry MX red i should go with, I priced the 30g keyboards and their like 200 bucks,

Yeah I'd go with the Reds. Luckily they seem to be pretty common in stores with gaming equipment, even Bestbuy carries the corsair keyboard with them so you can see if the keypress is what you need before you buy.
