One of three different kinds of switches may be selected. Colors indicate mechanical characteristics of switches.

• Blue switches are tactile, force versus movement characteristic is not linear. As a result, user feels the moment of switching. They are also clicky, thanks to additional element hitting the switch enclosure when pressed and making sound.
• Brown switches are tactile (nonlinear) too, but have no clicking element, so are more silent.
• Red switches are linear, moment of switching action has no tactile feedback. Noise level is a bit below brown ones.
