Video: The Ultimate CHERRY MX BLUE Sound Test | Classic Clicky Switch!
Creator: Click and Thock
This sound test was recorded and published by Click and Thock. We do not own this recording and claim no rights over it — full credit goes to the creator. It plays here through YouTube's own player so you can hear the switch before buying, and so the creator receives the view.
Bear in mind a sound test always reflects the keyboard, keycaps and mods it was recorded on, so the same switch can sound different in your own build.
