I have been playing osu mania with a cherry MX blue switch keyboard.
After playing about a year, I feel a little bit stuck.
Many of my friends have suggested that I should change my keyboard.
However, I don't know which switch I should use and is changing a keyboard can really be helpful?
I have tried playing with red and brown switch.
Although using these switches is more relaxed than using blue switches, my acc is lower with these switches(Maybe my acc will be higher after I get used to it?).
I felt a little bit confused.

Any suggestion on keyboard switch or mania skills?

switching keyboards does not make you better at the game, don't believe your friends

at best switching to keyboards with lighter keys would give you a small stamina boost, but only if you don't bottom out the keys

Thanks for your advice.
I guess I would continue to practice with my current keyboard.
However, knowing that switching keyboard will not make me better at the game, I still want to know whether using blue switch will stop me from improving, for most top players aren't using them.

Blue switches are fine. I personally like reds, but the difference between them is fairly minor. Blues require slightly more force to fully actuate, but that difference in force required isnt going to make a major impact on your play if you already have the muscle memory for those key switches

nah blue is not a good choice, change to brown and red make a difference. they are lighter which is good for stamina and finger joints

This is super wrong. There is about a 5 gram actuation force difference between mx reds/browns and mx blues. Even if you could feel the difference, weight should be insignificant to play unless you start hitting the 80 gram mark (which is actually heavy). It is personal preference above all else. I repeat, peripherals are PREFERENCE
