OP has a blue switch kb he intends to use for everything else except osu. Tfw people still suggesting he buy a kb when he can just get a keypad for way less.
I think Horo used to make custom keypads that feature blues, reds, blacks, browns, and clears. Not sure if he's ever going to do another run

Kinda weird but if cooler master relaunched a batch of MX Green boards I would be all over them ;_;.

Or you can just buy an IBM Model M which should feel similar since the Greens were originally made to replicate the Model M's noise+tactileness.

When I get some extra money I'm getting a thnikk keypad with Gateron Clears, then slapping some super thick o-rings on them so they bottom out right after the actuation point.

I've only ever used reds because I bought a kb with reds and never wanted anything else, for any purpose. So I recommend reds.

Everything is up to personal preference. You should try testing them at a tech store, see what you like. Reds are linear with no click, and they're easier to press down. Browns are non linear with a tactile bump, and they're slightly harder to press down than reds.

Blues are better than reds.

I agree. Is this some kind of collab?

If I had to pick a Cherry, I'd go with Reds, though. They all kind of make too much noise in my opinion however.

Reds aren't that loud.

If blues are uncomfortable, then i'd go with reds. Since they are the only linear ones. Chances are the brown will feel quite similar to the blues. So you might have a better chance with the reds.
