Do any decent players play with Cherry MX Red switches? I have a keyboard with cherry mx blue, not a huge fan of the click to be honest. I assume the cherry mx brown would have me thinking the same thing as blues. I am willing to give this keyboard to my brother, as I am willing to buy a new one. If your favorite switch is cherry mx red... tell me why, Thanks :)

I could keep going with probably around 1,000 more threads, but that should give you a good enough idea.

Pretty much all pro players play with reds. So yes, they're good.

All the pro players used to play with mouse only. What's your point.

Reds are good for osu! but really fun for typing. You don't get the same ridiculous level of typos with any other switch that I know of.

Saying stuff like this makes people think they need a mech keyboard to be good.

Browns are the same as Reds essentially if you mash hard enough to not feel the tactile feedback of the Browns. Blues are a different story however and you may be put off by the Blues clicky-ness. Reds are the best imo but Blacks may even be better for people who overstream all the time.

What other differences are there? I've been playing with Reds for over a year and Browns for a week, if you bottom out the Browns whilst playing they feel exactly the same as each other; I can't feel the tactile feedback of the Browns.

reds are annoying because there is no feel when pressing them. you won't have any idea when the press will activate. if this doesn't bother you, they are the lightest switches so I guess they're best for stamina..

There aren't any other differences, I just mean that you're mashing awfully hard if you can't feel the tactile feedback.

browns aren't really that tactile. i mean there's a bump but it's very subtle, especially when you're constantly tapping the same keys

Maybe you're right. Depends how controlled you are I guess :P

Isn't the reason real reason why people mechanical keyboards because they're more consistent?

I mean sure there are different switches, but fundamentally a mech kb is just a kb with actual switches instead of a membrane at the bottom.

blues browns red blacks in the end we all die

i bought a mechanical because i read that it's 1000000x better than a rubber dome in every way (before i discovered osu!)
