I'm using a Coolermaster Quickfire TK with red switches. I really like them because it has a low actuation force, which makes it feel smoother when I click.
That's unexpected. I have a 7G (which is basically 6GV2 with audio ports installed, and a wristrest) and I'm using it since August 2011 and loving it, still no issues with it. I even hit the keys with my fist when I feel the need due to an attack of a furious anger.Aqo wrote:

As in, it's actually a good keyboard, but not for osu. Expect to have keys break on you when you stream too fast too long... which comes in annoying later when typing.
Get something with blue switches or reds or w/e
I live in Africa, there are maybe 15 people on the continent that know mechanical keyboards exist nevermind have them in store. I would love to test them I really would. But I'm leaning towards Red if I can find the damn things.lolcubes wrote:

On topic.
Don't be like a sheep and don't just use what a player X uses. Cookiezi was using a blackwidow for a long time, and everyone got it cause of that, now hes using a red switch cause apparently he finds it better(?). Do some research on your own and always test the switches before buying, if you can.
I lol'd damn it. I'm doing the exact same thing. The only difference, I'm just using the cheapest keyboard (1200HUF which is around 6$) and no button break 'till now (or it is because I pressed my Enter too hard after plenty of retry lol).lolcubes wrote:

Let me just tell you that you will not be faster or anything if you can't use a normal keyboard. You most likely won't feel much of a difference. It's when regular keyboards start dragging you down when you already have the basics, then you will notice a significant improvement by using a mech keyboard.CaveBells wrote:

As for Cookiezi.... he's God tier.... not his keyboard, but since I can't stream to save my life I wanted to pick the best kind to start practicing with.
What I'm leaning towards is Red because they theoretically faster and if I'm going to get used to anything I figure that would be the best because at the moment I stream faster using mouse only rather than a keyboard
I'm getting this tomorrow, only with Blues instead of Black. I currently use an IBM Model M (buckling springs), which works fine.Jordan wrote:

Do you like the reds because you find them more comfortable, easier to tap, or easier to sustain when taking on long streams, when you compare them to blues.ct_warrior wrote:
I have the CM Storm with red switches. I feel that even reds feel like it could be lighter. I would never buy anything other than reds if I had the choice since all the other options are heavier. Have tried blues and reds.
That was the keyboard used by Aristotle if I'm not mistaken?ziin wrote:

It's the greatest keyboard ever made
I know that feel, bro. Most of the stuff I need can only be delivered here from other countries or have a 200% price on them :<CaveBells wrote:

All three, but not to a huge degree. Blues are fine, but the clicking you hear during actualization is redundant and drains a bit of stamina once you become comfortable with the speed. When I first started out, I tended not to bottom out because I was weak and less coordinated (a temporary period when blues would be preferred). Now, I can bottom out with a solid thud; although I only do that when I can spare the stamina and my reading ability allows me to do so without thinking. Reds are also fairly quiet if you barely bottom out, but typing takes a bit longer to get used to.CaveBells wrote:

3. Dont know why, but i prefer Red switches, rather than Blue
It's probably one of the cheapest, but I heard the build quality wasn't that great. I shelled out a few more dollars for a Coolermaster board with backlightingmakkura wrote:

I broke 2 keys in 8 months, low build quality but it's really cheap. It's fine as long as you don't smash your keys like mad and play high bpm maps too much.Kanye West wrote:

another thing very annoying in the blackwidow are the fingerprints, i can't stand fingerprints and i can't relax my hands on the keyboard because of that, also I've broken the spacebar for just using it. at least there is cherry mx blue...Kanye West wrote:
