Looking to buy brown switches or either red

However i live in europe and leopold shipping costs around 60$..

So im really thinking on what i should buy, i was thinking of the razer blackwidow which has blue switches, but i would preffer brown, so there is a razer blackwidow stealth version(brown switches) aswell and was wondering if this is actually a good keyboard(tactile/click) or would it be better to purchase the normal version of the razer black widow? I havnt seen any good reviews on using the black widow stealth version for Osu and i dont want to buy a 100$ keyboard without knowing some more about it..

Or any other reseller in europe for brown/red switches...

hey come on. A mech kb is all about preference, too. I would recommend brown since the price usually is cheaper. The cheapest solution would be a Razer Blackwidow (blue), and it's not too different from brown, just a little bit heavier and more tactile.

I just had my old Dell keyboard break and I bought this one (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005N7H3O6/ref=pe_175190_21431760_cs_sce_dp_1)

CAN'T say I recommend it for Osu yet. The keys are a nice confirmation with the click and definitively would help any game where informative clicking is needed and not speed. However I was hesitant about buying them as I'm hesitant of telling you to go for it because I believe speed is an issue. Bad for osu if you plan or have already stepped into hard and above songs. Particularly streams.

It uses MX blue switches so that could be the problem. Or just switches period are the problem. Cherry MX red switches look like they're the lightest to click for mech keyboards. Might look into it.

I think I'll be in the market for a side keyboard with plastic resistance or otherwise easy to to click buttons. Easy like a laptop easy.

I can't recommend the black widow nor another mech keyboard for osu at the moment though. They are more for confirmation/accuracy than speed. Good for typing/ some games but not Osu!.

I bought a red when it had just arrived on the market again and it was really expensive at the time.
Think I had to pay 230€ in total because the toll is just sky high in Norway :(

I sold it. \:D/

Yeah reds aren't all that great, I mean my sidewinder x4 is just about the same for streaming. Singletapping is a lot easier with a mech kb though

I wonder why everyone skips black switches. Sure, they are a bit harder to (fully) press than red, but imo, they are really great. When I was buying a mech keyboard I had a choice between steelseries 7g and blackwidow, and I tested them both on the spot, and 7g felt so much better lol.

Perhaps they ran out of ideas so they painted all the esc keys red for added "WOW"
