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.

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.
While I definitely think a mechanical keyboard is the best investment you can make in osu! I also don't think the determining factor should be that it will "magically make you better as osu!" If you happen to be good enough at the game already that having better stamina on 200+ bpm streams (for clarification, talking of at least length 8) then you are still going to have to learn the new keyboard which will take a bit of time. If you aren't at this level of skill already you likely won't see any difference. Most beatmaps don't directly benefit from having a mechanical keyboard.Purple wrote:

I don't think mechanical keyboards are meant to break for a long time, unless it's a razer or something, and even then it's still meant to last ages. My rubber dome has lasted me 4 years, and 6 months of those years were through osu, and it is definitely not as sturdy as any mechanical keyboard. Decent keyboards are meant to last ages anyway, mechanical or not, it's pretty hard to break a keyboard, even while playing osu.FlyingKebab wrote:
On topic how fast do mechanical keyboards and their switches break under constant workload a.k.a fast tapping like with osu, since I am afraid that I will break something when I get my mechanical I am leaning torwards using numpad keys as tapping keys if they break easily.
Each key is rated for like 10 million presses (maybe 15 million, cant remember which off hand).FlyingKebab wrote:

Yeah, its been like a year since i looked the number up. Looks like I confused rubber dome and mechanical. This just further adds to my point that the wear is pretty negligible. You can probably put somewhere on the order of 100k plays in before you even have to worry.Noobsicle wrote:
