what switch do you like? I'm Currently interested in the Kailh Silver Speed, upgrading from a cheap KB with Blue Otemus. They feel good for typing, but for playing they feel kind of mushy and heavy. Have also looked to MX reds

what switchs do you like/recomend?

blacks are the best for stamina, they also feel good. Reds are trash for stamina, clicky keys are trash.

Go for blacks really

I've only tried out a Kalih blue keyboard and a cherry MX blue and the Cherry MX one feels a lot better.

I have MX reds and they play really nicely, its a huge upgrade from cheap keyboards and shitty key switches. A lot of top players use MX reds, i think. It would be best to try them out first and find what you are comfortable with though.

I've played with Razer Greens and Cherry MX Reds so far and I do like the reds better, mostly because they are linear and thus without a tactile bump, also the actuation point is a little lower than on the greens as far as I know.

Personally I prefer my off-brand red switches I have on my $20 mechanical keyboard, they're still better than Romer-G

I've only ever used red switches. I really don't like them all too much tbh. It was very hard to get used to typing without fat-fingering. I really like the clickiness sound of blues, but I'd probably get annoyed after a while. I might get browns soon.

Right now I'm really loving the Romer G Tactile from Logitech G Pro keyboards. It is better than Cherry MX Reds in my opinion.

I like typing letters so i got a blue outemu switches, it feels really nice to type on and has the same clicking noise just like the cherry mx blues. I don't really recommend for gaming because of it's activation point (or whatever its called). But for me, I enjoyed gaming with it.

As a fairly decent mania player, I have to admit that I kinda took the high-route and bought a little tool on Etsy that has enabled me to have pretty much nearly every Cherry switch on the tool, except for Cherry MX Super Blacks, but my personal favorite is the Cherry MX Silvers, they just feel really nice, below that is browns.

Even if the morrow is barren of promises nothing shall forestall my return...

"Tactile, non-clicky switches

Tactile switches provide, as the name suggests, additional tactile feedback as the key actuates. As you press the key down, there is a noticeable bump which lets you know that your key press has been registered"

Actually got some cheap Brown switches and i like them a lot

My first was blue switches and they sounds great and typing with them was a pleasure but
they are horrible for osu tho, tactile and blue need a lot more click force to activate so...

im looking forward to get mx reds

i've always used blue switches, a lot of people hate on blues but i personally like them alot. there tactile, clicky, mechanical, satisfying to click, and fun to type on. even for osu i used blues, but imo the best for specifically osu are reds, you need less force to activate the switch, and i find myself single tapping a lot faster with reds.

The best "switches" i've ever used are the buckling springs on a Model M.
Unicomp make a nice replica, and it puts up to massive abuse with osu!.

Only ones i've tried are Cherry MX Blues and Reds.
from my personnal experience i Largely prefer the Red ones because it gives me the impression that my notes hit better, idk why. maybe the shorter actuation point?

so yeah, there's my grain of salt.

also for anyone looking for really cheap Cherry MX reds, FNATIC makes cheap mx red keyboards.

and please dont Buy any Off-brand keyswitches, my previous keyboard had Kaihl Blue switches and it completely broke down after only a few weeks of osu. be mindful about it, people.

i hope you have an awesome day!

I've only used outemu blues, but I might switch to browns because the blues are too loud, but i like the switch itself and browns are pretty much the same switch but quieter

I've just got some cheap Chinese RIP off mx blues. They work alright but I will definitely upgrade to mx browns or maybe reds? All depends on feel I guess.
