I've been looking around for a long time as to what mechanical switch is best for Osu! Right now I'm stuck deciding between red and blue but I want to know what other people think. I want blues because I like really clicky keys for both gaming and typing, but I'm not too sure yet.

What switches do you guys run and on what keyboard? o:

EDIT: Votes have been reset due to me adding in greens... Wish I coulda known it was going to do that... Anyhow if you stumble across this again and have voted before please recast your vote

I use(d to use) nigger switches

They were okay. Could pull in some massive speed feats with it and it felt like my fingers were hitting air. Dunno about other switch types.

I use Browns because the cool stepmania players use them because they're a very good all-around switch. They're as light as Reds, but are more tactile (therefore better for typing).

I use reds cause they're the lightest ones around and are the best for gaming.
Other than that I've heard blue switches are also very good.

Brown suits my typing style the best and I wouldn't trade it for other switches. I do a lot of typing work daily so this CM Quickfire TK Brown isn't just for osu.

I've only ever used a mechanical keyboard that has Cherry Blue MX Switch's. Type's very well (and I type a lot too!) and for osu! it helps me keep nice and consistent when streaming (when I was still playing that is, new PC is arriving soon then I can get back into the action)

I've heard a lot of good things about Red's too, but you cant go wrong with Blue either. =)
