This. But also, reds. Tactile switches take more effort to push down and the bump can mess with your timing.Myke B wrote:
Go to a hardware store like frys or something, and try out all of the switches. See which one you like best in person before you buy. Everyone has their opinion about switches, and truthfully, any of them could be your favorite. You just have to figure out which type of switch that is. Figure out which type of switch, then look at keyboards with that type of switch. Sort them by price or w/e and pick one. There are tons of threads asking the same thing, so please search next time if you plan on posting in the future.
To each his own. Rep them browns homie.YayMii wrote:

this is true, but this doesn't necessarily mean he should choose reds. Some people don't like the feel of reds, even if they are slightly easier to press.Noobsicle wrote:
choose reds
blues = ~50-55g actuation force, clicky/tactile and loud as hell
reds = ~45g actuation force, linear (no feedback in key presses whatsoever except for bottoming out on keys)
browns are a good mix of the two switches doe, almost same actuation force as reds but has a subtle bump with every key press (not as clacky as blues)
i guess so. i should've mentioned that with reds you're more prone to accidental key presses, probably the reason why i chose browns over redsMyke B wrote:

blacks are great for stamina as well. for example after 1 year of playing with blacks, switching over to a lighter switch could result in the ability to stream for longer than usual (but that could be said the same with playing 1 year with rubber domesMathsma wrote:
I see it this way - blues for accuracy, browns for mixed accuracy/stamina, reds for stamina, blacks for speed.

Actually, I'm going to side with you.YayMii wrote:

i haven't seen a person who asked for switch recommendations and chose blue in like foreverGalagrawr wrote:
I've played around with blues lately, and I think they feel great, but y'all are saying reds are good.
Hopefully sometime I can get my hands on one so I can decide.
Thanks for the help, everyone!
experiencing hell on streams here with blacks... hopefully when it gets worn out i can switch to reds. blacks are great for speed and accuracy, but damn anything more than 3 minutes and i start to get worn out.Noobsicle wrote:
