Pros use all three switches so theres no one real "best". For example, IdrA uses the 6GV2 (Cherry MX Black), FruitDealer and LiquidTyler use a Filco Majestouch with Cherry MX Brown switches, and I believe that Boxer may be using a Filco with Cherry MX Blue switches. Good luck. | ||

If I were to pick one to be the best performance wize... it would be blues. But they are loud. | ||

Contrary to the above poster I actually think there is a big difference between switches aswell - read up on the different ones and go try them out and you'll find "your" switch soon enough  | ||

I'd encourage you to try them out for a bit, but if you're not used to mechanical keyboards, I don't know if you could appreciate the difference.If you want something silent, don't get the blues though. | ||

Black: Recommended for people who are prone to typos. Pressing keys will feel like pushing down buttons. Blue: Wouldn't really recommend unless you're after clicky keyboards specifically. Stick with browns if you're after light keys. Clear: Heavier browns, hard to find. Red: No personal experience with them and they're quite hard to find. It's probably best to stick with browns and blacks in most cases. | ||

I bought the filco blue because the feel of the browns was to "cheap" for me. now after a few weeks of practice with the filco blue my apm has increased by 50-60 apm to 200 constant now because due to the clickiness i have developed a rythmic pattern that has a very rewarding sound and so i do that all the time and my fingers got used to it now im focusing on macro more... may sound wierd but the mx blues sound has actually helped me improve! | ||

It all comes down to personal preferences I guess. | ||

Blues are the most popular switch by far, how did you arrive at this conclusion? | ||
