Blue switches give a tactile bump and an audible click on every press, so this board suits gamers and typists who want clear feedback on each key. Lighting, game mode, media and volume controls all sit on FN shortcuts, so you don't need extra keys. Browse more gaming keyboards if you want to compare switch types.
