Okay so I just bought my first mechanical keyboard which is CoolerMaster CK550 Gateron Brown Switch and here's what I feel about it. I've been playing mania consistently for 1 year now and can play up to 6* star maps with only a rubberdome keyboard. Also, I had to press the keys with extra force because the keys are pretty hard to press since it is a cheap keyboard. Unfortunately, this keyboard of mine broke so I finally decided to switch to a mechanical keyboard. There are a few things that I am unsatisfied about. First of all, my accuracy dropped on most maps and my fingers can't seem to keep up with the notes as I used to with my previous keyboard. Secondly, I'm not sure whether I should press the keys slowly or strongly since I'm used to the hard-to-press keys on my last keyboard so I press the keys quite hard. Don't get me wrong. I really like how it feels and its typing sound. Therefore, should I play more and try to get used to it? I'm a little bit frustrated with my crappy acc right now. :/

I mean if you like how it feels, I say go for it
I used to play on a laptop keyboard and when I switched to mech switches for the first time it messed up my timing pretty badly. Playing more has made it so that I basically can't play without my mech keyboard, interestingly.

Yeah, i switched from laptop to mech as well, and I still tend to hit the keys harder than i need to, and my acc has never quite recovered from the switch, but that's mostly because I don't play enough any more to keep my skill up, rather than the kb being a problem.
