Keyboard switches are a unique and personal choice that people make based on their specific needs as a typist or other computer user. However, it can be worth seeing what switches other people use and why when trying to determine what switches to get for your keyboard. Let’s examine the switches I have installed on my main keyboards right now.

F.S Purple Night

The main keyboard I use for gaming uses Flaming Skull (F.S) Purple Night switches. I picked these switches primarily for aesthetics, but I also really like the sound profile of them. They’re very smooth, responsive, and they look good too! My goal when building this keyboard was to build a keyboard with a specific aesthetic more than a functional goal. I wanted a pink, purple, and black Kuromi-themed keyboard with MOA-profile keycaps.

The F.S Purple Night switches were an obvious choice as they are both pink and purple and they have sparkles in the hood. Additionally, the top layer of the switch is translucent which makes the LEDs on my keyboard shine through a little stronger.

EpoMaker Pink Flamingo

The keyboard I use for work uses EpoMaker Pink Flamingo switches. Like with the Purple Night switches, I did choose these switches primarily for aesthetics rather than functionality. I plan on building a second Kuromi-themed keyboard (Have you figured out that I love her and would die for her yet?) and I wanted that to be pink and purple themed as well. Ideally, I would like to possibly switch the switches for Glorious Pro Purples as I find clicky switches are more effective when typing compared to gaming. However, I really like the deeper, bassier sound of the EpoMaker Pink Flamingo switches.

These are also really comfortable switches to use. They’re very light and type with ease. They also have a great sound profile that makes them sound somewhere in between thocky and creamy. It’s deeper and has more bass than most other linear switches I’ve used. However, that could be due to the frame construction, too, of the RT100 keyboard.
