I've only ever tried speed silver so im going with that
I've played with Razer Greens and Cherry MX Reds so far and I do like the reds better, mostly because they are linear and thus without a tactile bump, also the actuation point is a little lower than on the greens as far as I know.
Personally I prefer my off-brand red switches I have on my $20 mechanical keyboard, they're still better than Romer-G
I've only ever used red switches. I really don't like them all too much tbh. It was very hard to get used to typing without fat-fingering. I really like the clickiness sound of blues, but I'd probably get annoyed after a while. I might get browns soon.
Right now I'm really loving the Romer G Tactile from Logitech G Pro keyboards. It is better than Cherry MX Reds in my opinion.
I like typing letters so i got a blue outemu switches, it feels really nice to type on and has the same clicking noise just like the cherry mx blues. I don't really recommend for gaming because of it's activation point (or whatever its called). But for me, I enjoyed gaming with it.
I've only used mx blue, but I hear that browns are good.
Cherry MX red, because they are the only ones that i have atm. Maybe I should try something alse but yeah
As a fairly decent mania player, I have to admit that I kinda took the high-route and bought a little tool on Etsy that has enabled me to have pretty much nearly every Cherry switch on the tool, except for Cherry MX Super Blacks, but my personal favorite is the Cherry MX Silvers, they just feel really nice, below that is browns.
Red :l

"Tactile, non-clicky switches
Tactile switches provide, as the name suggests, additional tactile feedback as the key actuates. As you press the key down, there is a noticeable bump which lets you know that your key press has been registered"
Actually got some cheap Brown switches and i like them a lot
My first was blue switches and they sounds great and typing with them was a pleasure but
they are horrible for osu tho, tactile and blue need a lot more click force to activate so...
im looking forward to get mx reds

For typing: TOPRE MASTER RACE

Cherry MX speed silver. only keys i've ever used and they feel really nice so i'm not all that bothered to switch to anything else.
i've always used blue switches, a lot of people hate on blues but i personally like them alot. there tactile, clicky, mechanical, satisfying to click, and fun to type on. even for osu i used blues, but imo the best for specifically osu are reds, you need less force to activate the switch, and i find myself single tapping a lot faster with reds.
i'm a razer guy and i use all of the razer switches depending on the game i play
for osu! i use green

Currently using brown switches, cuz i think its not heavy for mine
A cheap keyboard.
I see no reason for anything fancier.

.... :V.... ;D
.... :V.... ;Di like my laptop's keyboard for the sole purpose being that i dont want to buy a keypad
The best "switches" i've ever used are the buckling springs on a Model M.
Unicomp make a nice replica, and it puts up to massive abuse with osu!.

anyone who says Cherry clearly hasn't tried many switches
i've only used Cherry

Cherry isnt a color
sir, that is where you are wrong
Only ones i've tried are Cherry MX Blues and Reds.
from my personnal experience i Largely prefer the Red ones because it gives me the impression that my notes hit better, idk why. maybe the shorter actuation point?
so yeah, there's my grain of salt.
also for anyone looking for really cheap Cherry MX reds, FNATIC makes cheap mx red keyboards.
and please dont Buy any Off-brand keyswitches, my previous keyboard had Kaihl Blue switches and it completely broke down after only a few weeks of osu. be mindful about it, people.
i hope you have an awesome day!

I used to play with Cherry Reds but I recently made the switch to Romer Gs and I don't regret it.
the only switches i've ever used are razer's optos on the huntsman, but they definitely feel and
play so much better than the Chinese keyboard i played with before

I've only used outemu blues, but I might switch to browns because the blues are too loud, but i like the switch itself and browns are pretty much the same switch but quieter
