What are the best key switches for osu?

RED BLUE BROWN BLACK

Rubber domes.

No, really, use whatever switches you like.

I find browns to be the most comfortable to type on so rather constantly breaking keyboards with reds I've settled for those.

Ultimately you're relying on your fingers to press fast enough, any switch will do and I'd rather you pick something nice overall than crappy reds just in hopes of streaming faster.

lewa says reds and lewa is the overlord of all so reds being best is the absolute truth and you'd be a heretic to question this fact.

I for one agree with lewa.

I ordered COOLER MASTER CM Storm QuickFire TK (Cherry MX Red) :33. I hope this keyboard will help me with accuracy and streaming ;_;

If you're going from rubber domes/scrissors straight to reds theres going to be a bit of a learning curve and at first it'll probably feel less accurate but don't give up, just get used to them and you're golden. (some actual skill required)

This is so true, I can fully confirm this. It took so long for me to get used to my reds and I still can't master them perfectly.
I don't know if it's any different with other switches, but it doesn't matter since you already made your choice.

What if I'm going from blues to reds?
IppE
Well it'll be less of a learning curve but that arises the question, why change in the first place?

The blues are to loud. :/ and I lose stamina very quickly.

Practice how to practice so you can practice while practising

Play long streams, short streams, medium streams, fast streams, slow streams, streams at your speed, Also, play long maps that are 3+ minutes long. Just playing the game on a regular basis will increase your stamina alone but streaming with probably increase it the most to a point.

Also, you are pretty new to this game, so If I were you, I wouldn't worry about stamina for a while and work on accuracy and technique.

Do you know any good practice maps for streaming?
IppE
the stream practise map collections come to mind, but in terms of pure accurate streaming, there is no beating BASARA

Might be some duplicates because I just quickly pulled these from other posts about streaming.

By the way, any tips on timing? because my timing is SHIT.
Squid
Literally everything is practice, don't be afraid to randomly switch things up (like trying new z and x keys, different hand position, etc), you may find you like it more than before. Also for timing, I try to focus primarily on tapping to the beat of the song (not the approach circles) while moving my mouse/pen more absent mindedly.

Browns are pretty much the same staminawise as other switches, if not worse

Staiain is just an extraordinary person. If extraordinary means playing Stepmania like a madman for five years only with the goal of becoming really damn fast and ending up becoming the fastest Stepmania player ever.

Maybe it's possible for you to try some switches by visiting friends, that use one of the 4 switches.
Every switch feels different, so why not try all of them before.
