Have blacks atm. They're meh. I'd go for browns next.
>>
Topre.
>>
Just get black cherry OP. It's easy for switching keycaps, matches anything and has a good feel. Welcome to the meme.
>>
Buckling springs. I use them for gaming and typing and they're so much better than mx or knock off chink switches
>>
>>55133171
I like blues. If you don't like the clacks you can get plastic inserts and put them in.
>>
Red or blue. Brown is fucking terrible and is an instant indication of shit taste

Topre, unless you can get zealios if you want mx
>>
>>55133276
It's good as an introductory keyboard. But don't expect high quality for that price.

>>55133529
what's wrong with brown

i have brown and i like it
>>
Black and Red are for gamers in the same way Mt Dew, Doritos, and 7.1 razer headsets are.
>>
>>55133171
Cherry MX Speeds or Silents

This, clears are top tier.
>>55134953
Brown is ok, but the bump is wimpy and the switch is soft.
>>
>>55133171
Alps SKCM blue followed by buckling springs.
>>
>>55133171
buckling spring and mx clear. i want some alps board tho
>>
After using clears for 2+ years, I don't think I can go back to anything else.
>>
>>55133171
I'm a noob and only ever used blues ones, using them right now too
they click really loudly and it's really satisfying
mostly use them for typing/programming but gaming is fine too
>>
>>55133171
Buckling spring, the only REAL mechanical switches.
>>
I had reds and they were great, i had no problems at all. it felt so good.

i will probably try browns next just because people keep saying they are more comfortable.
>>
no such thing as best, only preference

i like reds
>>
>>55133171
Topre
>>
what switches do famous celebrities use? thats how i will make my decision.

anyone know what keyboard jim carry uses?
>>
>>55133171
Buckling springs

Depends on the purpose.

Mechanical keyboards are a meme.

Don't waste your money.

cherry mx browm.
no kailh, no razer, no proprietary shit.
no click. just tactile so you know when it's pressed
>>
>>55133171
Clear, followed by brown as clear is somewhat uncommon.
>>
Hall effect
>>
CLEARS
>>55135710
clears for sure
>>
blues are the best imo
clears feel like a harder membrane keyboard and blacks feel like ass
>>
I bought

>>
>>55133171

everything else is meme.

clears or clicky greys

Prepare to hear complaints from your neighboors.

Topre is the only correct answer

This. Don't fall for the memes.
>>
>>55133171
Kinda wish something with a really flat profile existed. despite how lowly I think of Toshiba, I really liked the keyboard of my Qosmio X770. Oh well, guess I'll keep being a membrane using plebeian.
>>
>>55136085
is this the true face of autism?

>>55136085

Blues if sound isn't an issue
Brown's if you need to be quiet
>>
If you're not using blues you're a pole smoking faggot
>>
>>55133171
Topre
Everything else feels gimmicky after a while

>Thought mechanical keyboards were cool. Loved the noises and feel.
>Now everybody and their mom has mechanical keyboard
>I hate the noises it makes now
> play games where faggots' blue switches erupt in my headphones when they use push to talk even worse when voice detection picks it up
>CLICKITY CLACK CLICK CLACK CLICK CLACK

I fucking hate mechanical keyboards.
