The video provides a first-hand look at Cooler Master CM Storm Cherry MX Green mechanical keyboard showcased at Computex 2013. Linus from Linus Tech Tips highlights the distinct heaviness and tactile feedback of Cherry MX Green switches, explaining that they are much heavier and require more force to press than Blues, with a pronounced back pressure that creates a very solid resistance during typing. He stresses the importance of trying different switch types before buying, especially considering that Greens are notably heavier and noisier, and notes CM Storm as one of the few brands offering a full green keyboard lineup at the time. The host compares Greens to Blues, calling Greens slightly more accurate due to the actuation behavior and the audible click, and mentions potential occasional misregistration issues with Blues if the keypress is not actuated at the exact moment. Throughout the segment, he emphasizes real-world feel over visual cues and invites viewers to test Greens in person to determine their preference, while acknowledging stock challenges for Green-keyboard models from CM Storm and similar brands. The video closes with a quick plug to subscribe for more Computex coverage and related content from the channel.
