MX blues all the way baby. :D
I underestimated that boy. No... it was not the boy I underestimated, it was the Triforce of Courage.

well compaired to the last poll down almost 6 months ago. Looks like more people have moved on to the brown switch. I went from blue to brown as well... Blues were just obnoxious and not being able to double click kinda sucked.

What are those like?

Cherry MX yellow is a false statement. They are imitation of Cherry MX blacks colored yellow made by a Chinese manufacturer (not sure if Rapoo makes the keys also, or just the keyboard)

HHKB Topre checking in. Was using Reds before, both are good =) I prefer the tactile rubber dome of the Topres however.

topres are not tactile, they are linear.

edit: Just wanted to see if the results would change for this thread. I am planning to purchase a keyboard with browns. Are a lot of people still using membrane keyboards or have people actually tried mechanicals.

They're pretty consistent. Although I would say there's more people who use brown switches than blues. Honestly, just go with what you feel like would be best for you. If you don't like it, return it and get another KB with a different cherry switch. I was planning on getting a Ducky KB with brown switches, but took a risk and got a CM Storm with blues. I was worried the blues would be annoying for my family, that this "double-tapping" issue would pose a problem in SC2, and that people say blues are for FPS/MMOs. I haven't had a problem with any of the concerns I've mentioned now that I have the blues. Though I am not sure how my roommate will like the clicky sound once I get to college, but I'll order a KB with brown switches if it comes to that.

As for your second question, I would most definitely say that a lot of people still use membrane keyboards. We're posting in a SC2 forum within a tech forum within a mechanical keyboard topic. So we just pretty much keep going down the chain in terms of being the minority, as in terms of being a SC2 gamer, a tech geek/lover, then a mechanical keyboard enthusiast. Though there is nothing wrong with membrane keyboards, I played perfectly fine with them. I just love mechanical keyboards because they feel so much better to type on.

No way topre got so many users! I prefer browns (filco 10keyless), having used blue (das), bs (model m), and topre (hhkb). Blues too flimsy, BS too heavy, Topre too soft (also hhkb layout is terrible for SC). The other keyboards are for code and prose, where I prefer the Model M.
You can use control groups to train units without even looking at your base.

exactly this, i still can play on a membrane, but the feeling of a mechanical keyboard is so much more enjoyable
