I cant stream
Although I tap 2 key as fast as I can
But I still cant keep up
When i stream
I felt I need to press the key so hard in order to hit 1 note
Shall I buy a new keyboard?

I did'nt notice any improvement in streaming when I bought a mkb. But single tapping higher bpm became easier.

I became more accurate, but that's it, still only streaming accurately for a short 200bpm stream

You most likely over/understream - have problem with aiming it properly. Trust me, at first time you may think "i aim properly" but you don't.

Mechanical keyboard will incerase your speed and stability but not that much. You still need to work on your aim.

"Overall, I think people tend to reveal their true selves when they step into an avatar. As I said earlier, they probably feel some sense of freedom. But freedom easily gained quickly turns into a false sense of omnipotence."

Mechanical keys will give you different kinds of "potential" depending on the switches you buy, but you'll still need to focus on the fundamentals of streaming by playing maps that push your speed, stamina, control and aim.

Mechanical keyboard does have certain benefits over a normal keyboard, but honestly, you should be able to stream just fine without. While I am getting a mechanical keyboard soon, it's definitely more of a "min/max" type optimization than a necessity. Mechanical keyboards don't actually do anything that other keyboards don't do, so while it may take less stamina to stream on a mechanical keyboard, or it may be easier to singletap higher bpm, you can still do those things on a regular keyboard.
