7key doesnt help with learning 4key any more than 4key helps with learning 4key. Play 7key if you'd like to learn and play 7key, play 4key if you want to learn and play 4key.
A lot of people recommend it for newer players since it improves 4k at the same rate while also training 7k. If you're learning it later on, then it won't help too much, which is why it's recommended to start with 7k. Again, as stated above, just play what you want to play. The best way to train 4k is with 4k, and same with other modes.
It does at higher levels, but its also vice versa. Ask any 7k player who also plays 4k and they will most likely say it helps. For me, I saw a drastic increase in 4k stamina, LN reading, coordination, and finger control after learning 7k up to my 4k ability(in terms of SR). And as I got faster in 4k, the speed translated over to my 7k as well, making fast patterns feel much less stamina draining. But keep in mind, I started seeing these results at around the high 4* range in both 4k and 7k.
Also, you should keep playing 7k if you find it fun. If you don't, then try 4k and see how it goes as well. I will say, the 7k player base is dying because of the lack of interest in the keymode, which is why I encourage you to try 7k first to see if you like it or not. But once again, it's whatever you find fun. Good luck man o7

Not really.
If you're interested in learning both gamemodes: If you start with 7k, picking up 4k would be easier but not the other way around. So, if you do want to play both gamemodes, learn 7k.
If you're just interested in 4k, and wonder if 7k will help you: Probably not. 4k (at higher level) requires more speed than anything else, which 7k, for the most part, don't provide content for. Although, 7k has a lot of content for LNs and from what I've seen, most 7k players that play 4k are relatively good at it. But I don't see enough reason for you to play 7k to get better with 4k.

As someone who learned 4k first and is learning 7k, I would say 4k does help in learning 7k but not in the way you think. I do agree that if you learn 7k first then learning 4k should be easier.
But I feel like my scenario is a bit weird since I was already doing decently high speed maps in 4k, and 4k was what introduced me to VSRGs.
So the VSRG experiences from 4k definitely helped me get used to 7k FASTER.. although there were a lot of new patterns to learn in 7k, I could identify old patterns from my 4k experiences. Even with some intuition new patterns such as double stairs, 7k jumpstreams and trills come naturally..
I get there aren't many people who can relate or even understand what I'm saying, but this is the best I can describe how I was learning 7k... it may or may not just be from playing half a year of 7k and learning patterns from scratch, but I know that it took me more than a year to learn 4k since I had never played a VSRG before, and it took me around 6 months to get to that same level at 7k, so in my head, I can clearly see that there is already a skill boost from my 4k experience.

if you main 7k and dont play 4k at all than it might help a bit if you're very high level on 7k, if you do main 4k than you're better off playing 4k to improve in it because 7k will not do shit for you
