I want to buy a mechanical keyboard mainly for osu! and people told me I should get blue switches, are they good for high BPM streaming? What I could find near my area is CM Storm Quickfire Pro, the blue switches version.

I recommend you test every mechanical keyboard that you can find around your place and choose what you can stream best (bring your laptop there, they (might) allow you to test it
)I use a scissor keyboard that is as thin as apple one and it is better than membrane... but have ghosting issues
Red switches will make you stream better as they does not need to press completely to register it....
Avoid Topre switches as they require you to fully press down the key to register as a click.

Blues for that sexy feedback, red if you want no fun 
I'm pretty sure the whole premise of the Topre switch was to provide a rubber-dome that actuated half-way... Keep in mind that Topres are kind of like Cherry Reds in that you can't feel the actuation point (except Topres are said to be much smoother than Reds).Ilfri wrote:

Red switches are generally considered the best for osu! for their small weight required to press the key and small travel distance (though actuation point is at 2mm on every cherry mx switch) but I'd suggest you to try different types out before buying if possible.
If not, a CM Storm with reds is probably your best blind choice.
