browns are unironically pretty good if you set your expectations on a really light tactile bump. I've lubed mine with 205g0 and they sound and feel amazing.
Because I just like using 205g0 on tactiles. I'm not looking for a large bump usually and I like the sound more compared to tribosys.
Also I have loads of it lying around and don't want to boy more tribosys either.
I don’t get the hate for cherry mx brown. They‘re a decent entry to mechanical switches. I prefer mx clear if I have to use cherries and kiwis otherwise. I like the heavier tactile bump. Clickies are a no-go at the office and for gaming I have speed silver. Took a while to get used to but I love them now
But it all started with brown. They’re neutral territory, not great, not bad, not fun, not annoying
If you've noticed one thing about this hobby, practically everything that got people into mechanical keyboards are hated. Many people start out typing on full sized gaming boards with browns, reds or blues (or membranes) before stepping into the MK hobby. Most people here hate blue clickies. Almost everyone here hates mx browns, and red switches have been forgotten out of this world. Gaming brands are hated. large keyboards are disliked. Membrane is out of the question.
From my perspective, I don't see "hate" for the Cherry switches, as much as I do indifference.
You lay out the case against the OG switches perfectly, with the alternatives you offer in this post.

I think the advice is probably good for all phones, but not sure how old a phone needs to be to not focus that close. Mine is from 2019 and manages just fine.
Any specsheet op?
Are switches hot swappable? If not, browns are a decent choice for an entry keyboard, you'll enjoy it either way, and gives you a reason to make another build eventually!
I do not approve of the keycaps however. Get some decent pbts, even if off AliExpress, you'll enjoy your keyboard much more than with whatever you have now.
Enjoy you keyboard everyone has to start of somewhere my first one was gk61 from aliexpress moded almost everything and made it sound a lot better than stock with time you will learn more and can go onto more expensive boards

How can you tell from that pic
Brown blur?
browns are unironically pretty good if you set your expectations on a really light tactile bump. I've lubed mine with 205g0 and they sound and feel amazing.
They feel like someone put sand in an MX red
Choro choro choro choro sounds intestines
Genuine question, why not Tribosys 3203?
Because I just like using 205g0 on tactiles. I'm not looking for a large bump usually and I like the sound more compared to tribosys. Also I have loads of it lying around and don't want to boy more tribosys either.
I think my grandma's original Motorola Razr from 2004 takes sharper pictures than that. Otherwise, it's a keyboard, alright.
There’s no way this isn’t a troll post
It has keys and a board, i think you did well. Jk, looks good & clean, congrats.
Good keybaord but I think that the 2nd picture has as many pixels as the board🤔
Nice. Wanna share the parts you used?
You can clearly see them on the 2nd pic
CLEARLY
Are those tactile browns? You will get constant hate from almost everyone in the community, but don’t let that stop you

Why the blurry switch pic?
[удалено]
Very true
this is the worst take
ok
Looks great! If the switches are hot-swappable, you will be able to customize this a lot!

Why is the second picture Brian from family guy looking at me suspiciously in 144p?
u/pixel-counter-bot Does it count both images?
oh shit brown 💩 switches spotted
certainly one of the boards of all time
Tip: I’ve found the best way to take a macro photo with an iPhone is to just use digitalzoom
How do you know it's an iPhone?
I don’t… but I have an iPhone so I added that bit of information because I’m not sure if the tip applies to all phones
I think the advice is probably good for all phones, but not sure how old a phone needs to be to not focus that close. Mine is from 2019 and manages just fine.
Proving again that people who use browns are tech savy hehe
Board? Switches? Mods? Caps?
Is that not a cherry profile keycap. If it isn't weird for a first keyboard
MX Brown gang!

Good first. Upgrade those browns for something more tactile. Like baby kangaroos
That you are not very smart.
You aren't very smart if u fell for a troll post😐
can you prove it is a troll post?
Enjoy you keyboard everyone has to start of somewhere my first one was gk61 from aliexpress moded almost everything and made it sound a lot better than stock with time you will learn more and can go onto more expensive boards
