Switch Performance & Teardown Analysis

MX Blue's click-jacket design makes the click a physical event — and makes the switch unusable in shared spaces (calls, offices, relationships). Typists who love the crisp feedback genuinely type better on them; everyone nearby disagrees. Variants (Blues with silencers exist) miss the point: the noise IS the feature.
