There is like a million threads like this, learn to use the search function.
OT: Reds are probably the way to go but you should try all of them in a shop or something.

I agree, reds are the best. People always say that it is hard to type on them but I own reds and don't have any difficulty typing.Pawww wrote:

If you want to try all the switches at the same time you can buy one of these....

I use blue switches, and can't say they're too bad at all. I have nothing to compare to though aside from a rubber-dome keyboard, and an IBM Model M (both were fine for me as well with osu!).
Haven't tried red, brown, black, or whatever other colors exist for mechanical switches.
If you can, find a way to try the switches before purchase though. I personally don't mind a loud clicky keyboard (loud typing gives the illusion of super-fast typing to others :p) but some might be thrown off due to bottoming-out and the actual point of key registering.
Blues are very good.
Reds are the best.
Period. This is not about personal preference but about facts, reds are the lightest switches around, so they are objectively the best. You may "prefer" blues because of the click thing, but that does not make them better. If you could get used to the no-click thing of red switches then they would simply outrank blues.

tactile feedback, also i'm speaking relatively in comparison to other switch types.
also just because you can get a good score on them, doesn't instantly make it good.
I could post a screenshot of any play i did with a crappy 10 year old keyboard with broken keys and coke spilled onto it, and it wouldn't mean that it's a good keyboard.

that's just your opinion.buny wrote:

rubber dome 4 lyf.
in all seriousness, reds are just lighter versions of blacks, and blacks are recognised for being the easiest to reliably stream with, so red should be good for osu! blues are good for typing

I got some noise isolating headphones and now the absence of any clicking sound whatsoever is pissing me off. I literally hear nothing from my blackwidow anymorewait99 wrote:

NOTHING!thanks for telling me that in a thread where the OP literally asks for an opinion, you're so edgy.Pizzicato wrote:

you talk like it's a fact. at least say so.
People will argue about what switches are the best and you can actually read the facts, opinions are worthless when you can check each switch specific data. You may like something bad more than something good, that doesn't make it good.
I hate blue switches so much.. So glad I bought a k70 with red switches..
Red user, happy with it, anyways it all comes down to the player, all you need to do is feel comfortable with your keyboard. ( even though mech > rubber )
cookiezi use red cookiezi best plyr in wolrd us red switch red best omg

Although you'll probably succumb to the bandwagon effect after reading this thread.
putting aside preferences, MX Red are technically better for osu but need some pro player who can control them perfectly.
I'd say, if there was a limit of 350bpm streams for human fingers playing MX Blue, for MX Reds it would be 380bpm

Linear switches are better in theory, speed and accuracy wise especially if you play with hitsounds on, but they wont make you a better player.
I'd pick switches based on typing comfort anyways, i.e browns or blacks if you insist on linear ones.

That difference is still too huge. I would say that (in the hypothetical case) a person who can can reach 220bpm with MX Blue could reach about 228bpm with MX Red (considering the amount of energy needed to do the movement, and taking into consideration that fingers weight about 18grams). For people who stream with the whole hand (for example vibrating the wrist) instead of fingers the difference would be much less.AmaiHachimitsu wrote:

It's not that much about speed but about endurance, which in the end COULD mean more speed, your fingers are not gonna move faster because of your lighter keys. That was my experience at least, I stream faster on rubber-dome keyboards than on mechanics, my acc and endurance are worse tho.
Lighter switches means less reaction force when you press meaning you have to put effort into 2 separete motions, a push down and afterwards a pull up (if you want to go fast). With blacks you only require a (larger) downwards force making streaming techniques easier to learn and allowing people to bulk build stamina in one direction.Wishy wrote:

Blacks are better, I have reds and blacks and I guess most of the people in this thread only have 1 or the other. Stop the red bandwagon you commies.
Reds also don't come up fast enough for me to stream at high bpm (240+ causes problems).
EDIT:
You're objectively wrong because it's subjective.
EDIT 2:
I briefly tested blues too and they felt the exact same as reds to me except there was a click when I pressed regardless of how hard I pressed, either way I fully bottomed out and it felt the exact same.

But still I don't get the superiority of Blacks. Of course it's heavier so it's easier to keep the speed, but this is the case with rubber domes too making the mechanical feel the only difference.
I agree with you when it comes to stamina practice, but haven't most of us practiced over years on a cheap office rubber kb? isn't it enough so we can just use our trained skill show its potential with light switches?

i played with both, red and blues, and for me reds are better because you dont have to press them down completely, you can just tap them, that makes streaming easier
