Went from Cherry MX Brown to Cherry MX Blue to Cherry MX Brown to Bloody LK Optical (linear) to Bloody LK2 Optical (clicky on actuation, linear on release).
I love having tactile switches, but the lower release point on Blues are a deal-breaker for me (makes streaming harder).
Browns are my favourite out of all of the MX flavours, but they are tactile both on actuation and release (IMO it's pointless to have feedback on release, but it's that way by design), and still have issues with debounce latency like every other mechanical keyboard. From my experience with MX Reds (or any other linear switch, really), they'll only harm your accuracy (both in games and typing) unless you spend copious amounts of time getting used to them, since you can't feel when they actuate. They're fantastic for your stamina though.
I imported a A4Tech Bloody B830 keyboard (which has LK2 switches aka LK Optical Blue switches), and I really didn't know what to expect. All I knew was that my first LK keyboard was more responsive than any other mechanical keyboard I've tried (it uses infrared beams to actuate instead of metal contacts), and I wanted a tactile version of the very same switch technology.
Turns out that they actually did something completely different with this new switch design; it uses a rotating click stem mechanism that reminds me of the kind you find in retractable pens, which gives you that satisfying MX Blue click when you press down, but absolutely no feedback (a la MX Red) when you release. It's like having the best of both worlds.
I've only started using this keyboard recently, but I can already easily say that this might very well be the best switch on the market for rhythm games. It's a shame that they only sell them in China.
