44	Razer	Optical (V2)	?		?	Light	70M	Black Shell Purple Dot	N/A	Much better than V1, still does not feel as snappy as a mech switch. Worth it tho if you don't want to worry about double clicking.

54				⬆⬆⬆ There is a large variance from switch to switch (of the same model switch) due to variances/tolerances when manufacturing. Take these numbers as nothing more than appoximations!

56		A long lifespan rating is directly correlated with a heavier switch! Here's a video explaining why. We will not see light, long lifetime rated switches until mechanical switches are swapped for something else, such as optical switches.

1	SuperDoughBoi did a better version of this and I have replaced all my data with theirs. See their spreadsheet here.

4	New page! I pressed switches against a tension gauge and recorded the data. This info is very different than the spec sheets. I trust my data more than the spec sheets, and therefore replaced the default information on this spreadsheet with my own data.
5	The variance between batches of the same switches can drastically change the order below. For this to be 100% accurate I'd have to do this with a large sample of each switch, which I have no plans to do currently.
6	Want to see the process? Video here ⟶
7	Remember this is just for the switch, once the switch is in a mouse, the shell/click design of the mouse can dramatically change the feeling of the switch! Also, small sample size, batch variance, etc. Your experience may vary, but this is the best we've got.

	A	B	C	D	E	F
1	Brand	Model	Feel	Sizes in mm	Rating	Notes
2	TTC	Gold/Yellow	Tactile	9, 10, 11	48M Scrolls	Accurate with tactile scrolls (less tactility than ALPS) suitable for gaming and everyday uses
3	Kailh	Red Core Black Cover	Light/Smooth	7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12	7M Scrolls	Low tactility, good for gaming and everyday use. Feels like Stock Logitech GPWXSL Encoders.
4	Kailh	Red Core Gray Cover	Tactile	7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12	19M Scrolls	Heavy tactility, loud, for fans of heavy and very distinct scroll steps
5	TTC	Green (actually turquoise)	Medium	5, 5.5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13	5M Scrolls	Medium tactility, slightly more than TTC Red with accurate scrolling. Suitable for gaming and everyday uses
6	TTC	Red	Soft/Smooth	8, 9, 11	5M Scrolls	Accurate scrolling, least tactile feedback. Suitable for long gaming sessions and everyday tasks. Often compared to TTC Green.
7	Alps		Most Tactile	7, 9, 11	3M Scrolls	Made in Japan, most tactile, harder to scroll with pronounced steps. Suitable for gaming, but may be fatiguing for everyday use.
8	Huano	Blue	Medium	5, 5.5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12.6, 13, 14	3M Scrolls	Can be considered a budget pick, often used in internet cafes with average accuracy.

10	from mouseclub.co (they sell encoders!) For a heavier and well defined scroll, you should go for the Japanese ALPS or the TTC Office. For the lightest and smoothest scroll, you should go for a Kailh encoder. For something in between, not too heavy and not too light, we would recommend the TTC Gold.
