For osu: Cherry Red and Black(idk why, but I'm in love with it)

For typing: TOPRE MASTER RACE

Cherry MX speed silver. only keys i've ever used and they feel really nice so i'm not all that bothered to switch to anything else.

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.

i'm a razer guy and i use all of the razer switches depending on the game i play
for osu! i use green

Romer G switches, the best in my opinion.

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!.

Kailh box blacks and reds :D

anyone who says Cherry clearly hasn't tried many switches

i've only used Cherry
Vuelo Eluko
Cherry isnt a color

sir, that is where you are wrong

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 used to play with Cherry Reds but I recently made the switch to Romer Gs and I don't regret it.

I use low profile reds

the only switches i've ever used are razer's optos on the huntsman, but they definitely feel and
play so much better than the Chinese keyboard i played with before

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

Well for now my favorite switches are Cherry mx Reds [with O'Rings] and Blues with O'Rings. :p

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.

Browns. By a long shot! I've never been more comfortable with any other switches
Nameless
I actually prefer Gateron Browns over MX Browns

raizo_old_1

Ryatoi
Cherry MX Blues
Mussell228
Gateron red feels more better than cherry mx

for typing I use shitty khail box brown switches
Alot
For sure, the red switches

Cherry Milk and Black my fav. Black noticeably improve stamina. Milk switches have an awesome clicky feeling.Its different from blues or browns. Reds are just ok, nothing special. Blue - i constantly get fingerlocked when play with blues, so meh. Brown swithces are ok, but i prefer milk\black
DXPOHIHIHI
mx reds
Zech
hmm for now cherry mx reds with O'rings for games (of course) but i do like blues for typing. :P

cherry mx reds are much better then the awful mechanical-membrane mix i had last year lol

Razer opto mechanical switch though they are on the squishy side, the almost instantaneous key press is fucking amazing.

just built two keyboards one with nixies and the other with hirose orange and they are aight

I haven’t tried mechanical keyboard for much so I can’t make definitive calls, but cherry mx speed felt decent.
I’m thinking about giving cherry low profile series a shot, as the shorter key travel sounds like a better suit to my comfort zone.
