Cherry reds are objectively the most efficient cherry switch due to the following reasons:
1) They require the least amount of operating force.
2) There is no tactile bump. Thus, there is less opposition upon down stroking the key, as the tactile bump must be overcome by more force than normal, whitch means less fatigue for fingers.
3) Upon typing the intended way (hands hovering over the keyboard and fingers pressing lightly on the keys), they are the quietest as there is no audible tactile actuation point. Also, it is extremely easy not to bottom out.

Reds may be the best but gateron reds are even better
I prefer blues.
>it is extremely easy not to bottom out
Extremely false.
Browns are better.

functionally blue's are superior

first, are you so desperate to save every calorie you consume? it's not that hard to press keys all day if you are positioned correctly
second, reds with O-rings would be even quieter, but that might be reaching rubber dome levels of sponginess.

Most important is the mental aspect of it, which is why I increased my wpm by around 25 when switching to reds.
There is no tactile hurdle to overcome so your brain doesn't have to factor that in when typing.
Test all switches, pick whatever feels good to you.
>[x] feels the best to me, and everyone on earth is identical to me, therefore [x] is best for everyone on earth
It is not.

what the fuck does that even mean

Some people have brain power so low, that a blue switch will disturb their ability to type.

Try reds and find out.

I use blacks and this might be true. But I'm afraid of aciddental keystrokes.
Actually, gateron clears require the least operating force (35g).

You listed the exact reasons I don't like reds. Buckling springs masterrace
