Is it physically possibly to alternate on brown switches?

And doing it effectively, is there anyone who does that at higher ranks?

I want to know if that's the reason why I've been gradually getting worse at it over the past 3-4 months to the point where I can't time even basic jumps properly.

No, it's physically impossible.

What's wrong with alternating on browns? I'm trash-tier but I have no problems full alternating on browns (yet).

Stop blaming your hardware, play more, and get gud.

I'm sure you can alternate on any switch

I realize playing more is the answer, but my alternating ability has been getting severely worse over the past months and I can't pinpoint why.

After trying pretty much everything in terms of posture and hand position I was wondering if it might be the kb.

The reason I phrased the question this way is because I was having trouble finding higher ranked players alternating on browns until now.

There are a fair number of players who use Brown switches (sayonara-bye being one of the most notable)... I personally use Browns and I can stream pretty decently on them.
But yeah, I'm going to side with everyone else and say "stop blaming your hardware".

staiain streams > 300 BPM on browns so yeah, it's physically possible to do anything you need for osu with browns.

I alternate everything on browns. Lots of good players use browns.

Maybe you just need to play more OP.

browns are the easiest switches to alternate on imo

have fun essentially streaming 200+ for minutes at a time, endurance kills on top tier alt maps(why I think they're better than blues)
Also need the accuracy so slightly better than reds

don't own anything else so can't compare

You actually never get worse (unless ofc you are messing with your settings), sometimes you are not satisfied with how you are playing/ not improving so fast, but well that´s life gotta keep playing.

I mean, you're clicking the keyboard so what else could be the cause if not the keyboard...?

you get worse by enforcing bad habits

Nope. There was once an alternator who tried to use browns and died.

What?

I think browns have the same actuation force as reds which are what I use. And i do perfectly fine alternating.

Oh man. World's #1 masher right there. The idol of new players, legendary DT speed with trash accuracy to boot.

See? Alternating on browns gives you wrist problems!!!

yeah even though it was his mouse hand the brown switches probably caused it.
silmarilen
must have been.
i use a mouse aswell and i dont have any wrist problems.
logic would say that the brown switches caused it.

It was his right wrist...the one he uses the mouse with.

That obviously wasnt sarcastic or anything.

sarcasm doesn't convey really well over text... A lot of things don't convey well and people tend to get confused or frustrated for no reason because of it.

When I switched to Browns from Reds, I didn't quite like it at first. Was missing notes I normally don't. 2 months in and I can stream 270bpm again. Just get used to it.

I think I heard a story about a player who played with Browns too hard. He's in a hospital now with a disorder.
silmarilen
on a serious note


Granger
I dont quite think thats because he got browns, looks more like rank decay due inactivity.
Tulga
I am playing fully alternate with browns. 3k rank, so yea possible
