The only difference is the minimum force required to actuate blues is not consistent because of the bump, it can vary within 10g of force depending on how the bump in the switch reacts.
Blacks do the same as red, just heavier - don't you think they can be the best too? The only difference is the force required then, however do you think this even matters when talking about 50 presses?

Challenging my own personal streaming skill doesn't change that. You can choose to ignore it and act like it doesn't matter, but it does. I understand personal pride takes precedence over facts in internet discussion, especially on this board, but anyone who has used both blues and reds knows the difference in consistency and feel. It's kind of silly to bring in skill when comparing switches.
Skill is relevant when judging things like that. I can't map 260BPM maps for example, since I don't have any experience in playing those maps. So I can't even testplay them and rate them if they're well-made or not, experience = skill in this case. You can't stream well enough to judge things well enough - if all you can do is mash, you can mash 30BPM faster with any switch. I don't know how good you are and it's just an assumption but I think I trust jesse's opinion over yours if it's about something mechanical like this, even considering facts. Besides that we're arguing about something of subjective nature here, since the keyboard is like 10% of your gameplay at best, your fingers do 90% of the work. [/quote]

[..]which is easiest to do when comparing the differences in your own gameplay, which I did. In my case, the difference was a significant improvement in the switch from blues to reds. I credit that to the physical makeup and functionality of reds vs. blues.
These stream testing tools are bullshit aswell, you can just hold a key down or mash like crazy. Doesn't mean you can "stream" if you can mash buttons.
Also I don't wanna post more from here, I am not gonna google some physical laws and do super-geek math on how the actuation saves you 0.000000x seconds and how 15g per click less have an influence on twitching your muscle fibres - it's a fucking game about clicking circles, just press them.
