I'm currently playing with razer green switches and I'm having troubles streaming and im often running out of stamina on longer maps. Would a cherry mx red/speed keyboard perhaps help me improve? If so any recommendations for a keyboard?

:?: Keyboards don't make you tap faster.
Keys may be easier to tap and you can training in a better way to improve speed using some specific Keyboards.
But fingers movement it's the same. Who can stream 300 BPM streams may be unable to stream 300 BPM at all Keyboards but probably will stream 270 BPM at almost any keyboard.

I have a rusty old keyboard what i use to build speed streaming and make my fingers stronger to later on tap faster on my laptop keyboard.

Exactly right now i can streaming consistenly 270 Bpm at laptop keyboard ¿35g activation keys do to long use? (working on acc UR and consistence instead speed for a while, my speed isnt warmed up.)
What leads into around 240-255 bpm at any keyboard i test, even tactil smarthphone screen.

Hardware isn't your problem. Your hand, arm, shoulder, back and/or neck possitions may be your problem. Or the practice approach. Or how you read the streams itself.
I had reached 315 BPM bursts +-7 UR reading in a way, and reading in other way a couple plays before only reach around 280 BPM.

The most usual problem talking about streams speed it's hand position. You should not use same hand possition to play 120bpm, 170 bpm, 220 bpm or 300bpm. Each bpm have a better hand angle
Doing really small changes on your wrist, elbow, shoulder... angle, can change a lot your UR, speed, stamina, coordination and finger control.

Examples of grips (only wrist and hand, not elbow or shoulder angles):
- My Low BPM grip. 120-145 BPM

- Medium BPM grip. 145-170 BPM

-High BPM grip. 170-240 BPM

-Highest BPM grip. 240-315BPM

This is obviois how i do It, not how you or everyone else should also do It.
I show you as a reference of things to check, talking about streaming speed, stamina, and UR.

I'll try out some new techniques and positions too see the difference. Never thought something like position would effect your streams. I've been sitting in the exact same position using the same grip for a year...

Thanks for the detailed answer man i really appreciate it.
