Heys guy which type of keyboard do you recommend mechanical or membrane

Generally p much any switches work, you can even play on a membrane to an extremely high level (for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjSR-IddHr8 )
However there is a real case to be made for why browns/reds are better than blues and this is because of how the actuation point works, more specifically how the reset works if you look here:

you can see how the key needs to be entirely raised to reset for another keytap.
As for which is better between the reds/speed silver/browns the only real defining factor is the amount of travel necessary if you bottom out the key, but in order tap as fast as possible you shouldn’t ever bottom out or completely reset the key and instead motion it above and below the actuation point (known as “actuation surfing”) and browns give a clear indicator of where this is whereas reds/speed silvers don’t, essentially making it the same as trying to learn how to acc if the game never showed you any of your judgements, you can do it sure but it’s waaaay harder for no real reason.
(P.S. a LOT of people prefer gateron browns to cherry mx browns as they’re a bit lighter)

1. You're*
2. Membrane is more than viable. Examples include Hello_Son on 4k who got up to top 500 with membrane extremely quickly, and on 7k there is TsukiyaWhiskers who also climbed the ranks at an absurd rate with a membrane keyboard. Mechanical has its perks, but don't let it be an excuse that you tell yourself.

There should be a pinned post about this, but NO rhythm gamer should be buying the SK, DK, or GK series. While those keyboards are decked out with juicy specs like optical switches for only $60-70, their polling rates are at an abysmal 100hz.

Just pin the keyboard spreadsheet or sumthing.
