So I should go black so that I don't double-tap on accident? I have pretty strong fingers.cheezstik wrote:
General consensus is that reds = best cos they are linear and have the least actuation force = more stamina. Blacks should be fine as well. Most people usually say that linear > tactile for osu, so either of those 2 should be fine, but then again, it should be mostly personal preference, so whatever you find comfortable.
Even with hulk fingers it'd be pretty hard to double tap on accident, you'd have to twitch pretty hard, something that won't happen if you are playing properly. Apparently a lot less accidental presses happen with blacks instead of reds though so maybe that would help that.InnocentEyes wrote:

I was surprised, too. Apparently they do upon special request forms.cheaptricks wrote:
Does Quickfire Rapid even come in Black switches? I thought it was just Red/Blue/Brown.
So does that mean brown is a more reasonable choice? I'm a bit hesitant on reds.Wishy & Xayne wrote:

Brown is the same actuation force as reds, the only difference is that it's tactile, which is apparently not as good for osu. Why are you hesitant on reds? You should really just try to find a store near you in person where you can try out the different switches.InnocentEyes wrote:

No evidence to support this. There are enough people who do better on blacks than they do on reds.Xayne wrote:
Black is going to severely hamper your ability to stream compared to reds.
quite the opposite, it makes streaming easier on the fingers since you have to do less work lifting your fingers again, when i went from reds to black i could immediately stream faster and for longer than before [a 200+ note stream at 180 bpm was rough to keep stamina on with reds, easy on blacks]Xayne wrote:

This can happen for sure but not often, i used mine for a long time and only had to resolder once. This is kinda something you have to be prepared to do with a mechanical keyboard, although I will say the one im using now by steelseries hasn't had that issue yet, so... eh, valid concern.Typhoon wrote:
Don't get a quickfire rapid. The soldering on the board is weak. I had to re-solder the back of the board a few times to get certain keys working again but i ended up throwing it out. Spend a little more instead and get a Ducky or Das keyboard and it will last you years. I personally use a Ducky DK9008G2 Pro PBT with brown switches. I find brown switches to be the best of both worlds. Great for gaming and typing.
Except simple science... Takes more energy/muscle/stamina to stream on something that takes 60g of pressure vs. a switch that takes 45g at the same bpm. No evidence...if you throw out simple logic. More resistance = more stress on fingersRaneFire wrote:

Which only benefits you if you're someone who hovers over the actuation point rather than fully stroking the key each time, which the vast majority of players don't when playing osu. If we're talking every possible use for the keyboard, sure. But if he's strictly buying this keyboard for osu play, I just don't see the point in getting anything other than reds.Riince wrote:
if you rule out the advantages to more force pushing up at your fingers that i mentioned, sure
You are literally the only osu player I've ever seen say that.Riince wrote:
blacks are better for osu! thats one good reason
Thanks. All I needed to know.Xayne wrote:

If you don't see what I was doing there, then I see why this entire conversation with you is pointless. It's not theory crafting if it's already been proven. The vast majority of the osu community prefers red switches to any other switch for a reason. The reasons are as stated. Less stress on your fingers = more stamina. Period. It's not that hard to understand. I don't know about you, but the keys don't raise my fingers for me, they raise the key only after I remove the pressure from it. The spring pressure from blacks literally only ever applies if you are touch typing. Like I said in a post before, no one does that while playing osu. You bring your own finger up. Having more pressure from the spring is obsolete. However, having less pressure against your fingers for each stroke is not. It comes directly into play with every single note you hit.RaneFire wrote:

I will admit, when I started playing osu with blues, the click certainly helped in getting into rhythm. Feels goodman.Kheldragar wrote:
