I might switch to blacks too because I already have a good feel about how high lift my fingers. But by the time I lift the key all the way up, the notes have already gone by and I missed them all. So a mechanical keyboard is actually making me slower than a laptop keyboardRiince wrote:
yeah reds pretty much make you do all the work [this is why i switched to blacks], just practice and you'll figure out just how high you have to lift your fingers.
It might be better if the keys rebounded back up faster, but I don't know how to modify a keyboard to make it spring back up more quickly. (Also don't want to void the warranty because I might return this keyboard if I continue to have issues with it)Yes it's the keyboards faultrepath wrote:

well with reds the back of my hand would always go from aching to burning to please make the pain stop with a meat cleaver to the wrist, even after months of using it. i can say that streaming long/fast with blacks has not caused the same thing to happen once,Green Platinum wrote:

I'm pretty sure blacks articulate at the same point, they're just harder to press which wears you out faster. But for those with good stamina, it also helps with speed since they spring back up faster. The only way switching from reds to blacks would help is if you don't bottom out.
Stamina shouldn't be a problem if you're not bottoming out I believe.FieryLight wrote:

I do believe this to be a scientifically backed fact.buny wrote:

There's your problem. You said it yourself; you just got the mechanical keyboard, try using it first.repath wrote:
Mechanical keyboard with red switches. I found out the issue of why I'm having a difficult time using it: because it's not registering the keys because it thinks I didn't release the key. I'm used to my laptop chiclet keyboard so there's very little space between pressing the key and bottoming it out, so on the mechanical keyboard, I'm not fully releasing the key because I don't have enough time to fully release it all the way when I'm doing triples or streams.
