I could keep going with probably around 1,000 more threads, but that should give you a good enough idea.
Don't take this as rude. But it really won't make a difference until you get to a certain threshold. Like 200+.cheezstik wrote:
It will probably definitely give you a big advantage but it's by no means required. I'm using a regular keryboard and I would consider my self good at streams, and more of a rhythm / speed player than an aim player. I've never used a mechanical keyboard so I can't really compare.
Mechanical switches tend to be more durable.DahplA wrote:
There probably already topics out there for this question. I've been thinking about getting a mechanical keyboard for a while now, because it seems it's like what everyone uses.
- Is there a benefit to getting a mechanical keyboard?
- What does it provide over a normal keyboard?
- Will I see an immediate improvement, or will I have to get used to it?
Do blacks really need that much actuation force? Thought for sure Greens were the highest.Varetyr wrote:
When the switch is noted as being "linear" it is in regards to the feedback, not the actuation point. The reds and blacks are linear tactile feedback, meaning no feedback at all, the key feels the same from initial press to bottoming out. Blues have a mechanism inside which gives a much stronger tactile feel. (and a very loud "click" Browns are kind of "all-round," which means that they do not have an internal mechanism unlike the blues, but have a slight "bump" to provide some tactile feedback.Espionage724 wrote:
Although now that I think about it, I think Blacks and Red switches are linear switches, which ideally means the switch registers on and off around the same point (which sounds and probably is great for accuracy with osu!). Blues I know aren't linear. No idea on Browns or other switches. The switch being linear or not won't matter after a time where you get used to the switch anyway though.

Well I obviously can't comment on the difference since I haven't touched a mechanical keyboard, but I don't have too much trouble reaching freedom dive another and rog-unlimitation speed.Bauxe wrote:

Thanks for the help everyone. Would there be a specific keyboard that would be recommended? I'd like it to be close to the $100-$150 price range.
Don't remember mentioning spamming or mashing, but I'll clear it up anyway; I can accurately stream 220bpm.Bauxe wrote:

I really want to see a replay of you streaming at 220bpm (for a decent length, not 5 notes, that isn't streaming).cheezstik wrote:

The self-glorification aside, my original on-topic point is that if someone at my level of play can do 220bpm (something higher than my level of play) on a regular keyboard, then it is safe to say that for someone at my level or lower (such as OP), a mechanical keyboard is not needed or 100% worth it, because as bauxe said, it won't make much difference.
Now on the other hand if you are bauxe-level good, go ahead and grab a mechanical keyboard, it's most likely worth it.
rog-unlimitation has super low od or something, its really easy to do even if you cant stream near its bpm.Bauxe wrote:

Also, my upper limit for streaming is like 205bpm. If you can full combo rog-unlimitation, then yeah, you can stream 220 I guess.
What??? I have a really bad habit of over streaming 140bpm or less songs. I find this hard to believe.Purple wrote:
Back 3 years ago before I got my mech keyboard I couldn't even stream 140 bpm. After I got it, I didn't get much faster but it did help me not get fatigued as easily.

I half fc rog unlimitation then fail near the end cos of my trash-tier stamina, same with another freedom dive. But something more in my stamina range with still decent bpm (~195) is goreshit - o'er the flood and Hatsune Miku - Mythologia's EndBauxe wrote:

Black switches are quite stiff, and I don't particularly like reds either. Mania requires n-key rollover, or at least 6-7 key rollover, which is a property almost every mechanical keyboard has, unlike rubberdomes.Cozzzy wrote:
People keep mentioning mania. Well, with rubberdomes I can just rest my fingers on the keys, and make slight movements to feel the clicks, so I have much higher speed and stamina. This is basically impossible on my black switches D:

Mechanical numberpads? $30? :O That's amazing, considering you only need 2 keys there isn't a point getting a full keyboard. Thanks for that.Purple wrote:

If you can't pay 100$ for a mech keyboard then get a 30$ mech numpad, it's the same thing. I just don't see the point of spreading falsehood. If you've never played with mechanical keys then don't comment, and if you have but it didn't work out for you then don't assume it'll be the same for everyone else.
