Hi!

I'm using mouse only on osu!standard but I want to practice mouse+keyboard because I think it's more logical.

So I got a question for keyboard players :

Do you use mechanical keyboard (switch) or classical keyboard (rubber dome) ?
And what switch (cherry blue, brown, black) do you use ?
What brand ?

Thank you^^

I use a Saitek Eclipse keyboard, but I only bought it because I wanted one with a backlight (and it was on sale on newegg). It seems to have a bit of input lag, which makes me rage when I try to play maps with long streams (or deathstreams). It's decent, but it turns out I hardly ever use the backlight anyway, so go figure.

I suppose scissor switch keyboards don't count then?

Also cherry black is probably the best for this game.

Isn't cool enough to have a signature.

I thought cherry brown/red would be best for osu. But red is almost impossible to find anyway.

QSENN - DT35(classical keyboard)

(I'm a ctb player)
According to friends, said a mechanical keyboard to play osu better
like KanbeKotori ~~she~~ use cherry Dark brown switch(in chinses say tea switch:O)
Of course this is only a reference
Sprosiveues cheap membrane keyboard

Conversely, basic skills are not solid, the keyboard is useless with even the best

Scissor switch keyboards count of course :p Tell us if they are good for osu ! But i don't know if they are really popular...

My current keyboard :
Compaq Very cheap and rubber dome.
I feel some lag on precise beatmap. I don't have the mouse accuracy.

Steelseries 6GV2 Mechanical black switch (linear feeling)
I'll tell you what i think of this keyboard.

Red has been discontinued. Brown would probably work well though.

Most people don't like black for actual typing because they are somewhat stiff. This isn't really an issue in osu! because you're just mashing the keys really hard

.

The main advantage over blue is that the blue switches have a reset point much higher than the activation point. This is bad because you might not let up on the keys enough while playing osu! to reset.

Isn't cool enough to have a signature.

Kensington SlimType scissor-switch. I find it nice to play with osu. My boyfriend has a Das with blues in it that I've been curious to try out on osu but still have not had the chance, but it types nicely.

Saitek is besttek.

I don't use my keyboard for osu but I play a lot of other games so a gaming keyboard was necessary....I sit cross legged on my PC.

Warning, HUGE PICTURE! Goddamn phones man.
