maybe they have changed... people may have switched to other switches now etc.... that polls was from months ago... just like people may have switched races by now. who knows.. and the crappy thing about polls is that u cant revote. like i use to own a blue ,, now im rocking browns. Im curious to see what people are using now that they have gamed more on SC2 and may have changed their minds on waht switch they are using or prefer..

Also that poll was directed toward Chery MX switches, not offering the other types of mechanical switches. Topre, ,rubber dome, buckling etc... as a part of the poll

oh i never knew u could make a poll with in a thread. weird
also i sure lots of keyboard enthusiests and people who are wanting to purchase one, want to see what switch everyone is using now. Also that other thread is a mechanical keyboard brand thread, this is specifically a what "Switch" not a what "Keyboard" thread, there is a difference.

I use Cherry MX Blues.

As a side note Elitekeyboards just sent me an email saying they will be getting leopold KB with Cherry Reds if anyone is looking to buy one. It also looks like they have some 10 keyless KB in stock.

looks like we got a tie do far.. I thought for sure people would have more blacks or blues because of the mainstream mechanical keyaboards (CrapWidow and the Steelseries).... but looks like people have ventured off into the boutique brands. Right on thats what i like to see.

I really love the feel of the blues, although they can be quite noisy at times...

Tried MX Browns, but didnt really like them too much.

browns.

of course I haven't actually tried them before getting one (unfortunately can't find a demo anywhere), so I just read up and found how tactile/clicky/noisy each type of switch is, settled on browns as they're a nice middle ground for typing/gaming tasks. having a blast typing on them so far.

but yeah, if you get a chance, definitely try out as many switch types as you can before making the choice.

I use browns, but I would really like to try out red switches.
