a mechanical keyboard would be a great investment, excluding razer unless you don't mind risk getting a faulty product and replacing it

cheap but decent quality ones: cm storm quickfire tk, corsair k65 (lacks numpad though), steelseries 6gv2 and some others that i don't know of
decent: any ducky, corsair k70 rgb for the lights (although buggy software pisses people off), logitech g910 / steelseries apex m800 / other new expensive as shit switch-type keyboard

i hope you like reading

Ducky Zero kbs are the best for budget.

I got a razor keyboard from 2007 right now (lycesa) and ive had no problems but its very very loud and its clunky (keys are not soft) , my brother is using a old dell keyboard other then a razor because of its faulty keys they get stuck and sometimes don't hold down.

So i think this would be good for me https://ebgames.com.au/pc-200173-CM-Sto ... -MX-Red-PC

Yeah, that would be great for osu! cherry red switches are the best for this game.

that's strange, scissor switch keyboards shouldn't be that loud. mechanical keyboards aren't soft either but they feel a lot better than rubberdomes / scissor switches, they can get pretty loud if you slam your keys

also nice find, get that board pls

Corsair k70 (One of the best red switch keyboards out there)
Quickfire Storm TK (or not tk, also a really nice keyboard, it comes with red, blue, or brown switches)
Steelseries 6GV2 (a nice black switch keyboard)
Logitech G710+ (a nice brown switch keyboard)
Ducky Shine (any version, it has custom switches and backlight colors)
Any old mechanical switch keyboard (seriously, a mechanical keyboard is all you need for osu.)

If you don't want to drop a crap ton of money on a mechanical keyboard, just buy a numpad.

Those keyboards are nice for going into osu. Keep in mind, some of them are expensive. But worth it.

I can confirm my x keycap's stem shattered. Replacing with a SS Apex M800 in near future.

red switch are nice.

In my opinion, browns are the best by far. Since they're tactile they're better for typing, and the bump really makes proper stream form easier because you can tell when your finger has activated the key.

quick fire rapid is made by costar (filco, das) where as the tk is Ione, which makes it better than the tk imo. other than that this post is perfect

i was going to mention the qfr but the sad thing is they're very rare in australia now, only way to get them is buying them 2nd hand and idk if amazon ships keyboards to australia or w/e (even if they do, rip shipping costs)

although there is the quick fire rapid-i, don't know if the oem is the same as rapid but it should be because it looks exactly the same (just with added leds)

my 2 year old tk still feels brand new so it's not too bad

I have to admit he got me too

@thread
MX reds are good switches but cherry's not the only good brand, or so I hear

I can strongly recommend Steelseries because I've had mostly good experiences with them. The 6Gv2 is legendary and the Apex M800 might be my next keyboard. People will bitch about the M800 however, as Steelseries' proprietary switches are manufactured by Kailh

Main difference will be the activation force. Think lighter keys

Yeah, I saw someone saying it was like "Typing on air"

Compared to blacks that might actually be a fair assessment

cherry mx board 3.0 was one of the first low profile mechs but for some reason not many people know about them (is also hvicks keyboard me thinks ok maybe not but it definitely looks like a cherry board)

it's a shame because it's cheap and probably really good quality because cherry is cherry

reds are a cloud of oppai

It only features low profile keycaps which do not reduce travel distance at all unless you oring it. The Apex M800 is the first mainstream true low profile mech. On that note preordering mines tmw. Rip 230$.

A little bit off topic - I searched for a while but couldn't find any info on brown mx switches. Are there any good players using them? How do they feel while playing compared to reds / blues? I would appreciate if someone who actually uses them replied. Also - the keyboard i am interested in has only mx brown switches available, so i can't get any other unless i customize it myself.

I use Razer Orange which is a copy of the MX Browns. Compared to my broken K60's MX Reds they feel a bit heavier. There's also the tactile bump.

TL;DR: Im faster with reds.
