I found a good mechanical keyboard at a local pc shop for a really good price, but it's only available in MX Brown switches, should i buy it or save for another keyboard?
It's not the weight that makes Blues not as good, it's the clicking mechanism. The moving keystem and higher reset point causes fast repeated keypresses to be slightly less consistent and requires more finger movement compared to any of the other 3 main switches (or any other non-clicky keyswitch, really). Not noticeable when typing, but definitely noticeable when playing games.Arthraxium wrote:
MX Browns are good, because they aren't heavy compared to MX blues.
Is MX Brown good for osu?Yes just ask cptnXn. Really it is different for each person you just have to try things.
True. Actually everything posted here are mostly subjective to a certain degree, because everything that we claim are based on personal experience, despite the fact that our claims are anchored to objective facts like how switches actually work.Endie- wrote:

Try different switches out and see what you like.
I own both types of keyboard switches, and although you are right about the theory, the troubling experience which I had was really attributed to the weight. Where the actuation point lies pose no problem because human brains adapt; it's just that MX Reds are optimized for repeated clicking; MX Blues still have a place in gaming, specifically for click accuracy, not for speed clicking. The thing is, the higher strain MX blues deal to the player is more overbearing than the clicking mechanism itself.YayMii wrote:
