there is only one site that can comment on what you are talking about
geekhack
there are the GREATEST mechanical keyboard guides with pics and everything. that being said the best keys for me are cherry mx RED. the red do not have tactile feedback and are easy to push. steelseries does not make keyboards that have key choices and basically are selling you stuff assuming you dont know whats best
i suggest checking out das keyboards. noppo choc minis and deck. these brands have never done me wrong. my keyboard is a noppo choc mini. the good thing about mini keyboards for sc2 is that the f keys are closer to the numbers. they are RIGHT above the numbers so its easier to camera location things

I guess it all depends on what kind of keyboard you used before. I used a rubber dome keyboard before and i had no problem getting used to the black cherry mx switches. Also if you already bottom out your rubber dome then i think the black ones are actually the best for you. Just give it a few weeks to get accustomed to.

i have a 6GV2 and I quite enjoy using it. I have no idea what this whole you have to get used to it thing is though. It's just a keyboard, I noticed no difference personally tbh.

I was in same situation. I bought steelseries 7g and was a bit disappointed. Had it for a couple months until I decided to buy a filco with brown switches, and I havn't regretted it a single bit.
Besides the layout on the 7g is fucked up, but the main reason was the switches.

I am going to go to the store tomorrow and try blues on last time to see if I really like them more than blacks. My last question is the difference in sensitivity between blues and browns in regards to bottoming out. Not matter what keyboard I get, I'm going to bottom out ever time. I'd like to know if blue, or brown, is the best choice for that. So far from what I gather, it's all a matter of preference and it doesn't matter what I choose because only I can know what is best for me... but people who have had experience with a few different types and can compare and contrast really help me a lot.
Thanks guys.

I have a brown ninja and I love it. Go brown. you won't regret it!
|
I feel that Blues are obnoxiously loud.People on my TeamSpeak have Blues and when they macro hard their mic activates from the button pressing sounds (lol). If you're into typewriter sounds then go with it. Otherwise I find Blacks to be quite enjoyable. I haven't tried Browns but i heard a lot of good feedback about them. So you're absolutely right. It's all a matter of preference.

got clears. never went back

I'm very happy with my blues. My brother has essentially the same keyboard, but with browns, and if you are into light keypressing, both are fine. The click actually isn't that loud in comparison to the sound of bottoming out when you spam apm though. But then I love the clicky sounds when I type so it doesn't matter to me. You can feel blues more than you can feel browns though.

I bought a Tt Meka G1 Cherry Black mechanical a couple months ago and I'm loving it. It's not as good to type on as a brown or blue, but for SC2, I really love how well I can double tap on it, making injects with queens ridiculously quick. Also, the accuracy I have with these switches is my favourite. I feel like I am so much more precise with these switches than when using my other mechanicals. The keyboard won't just magically give you more apm, you have to work at it. But I mean, I was doing 275 apm on my browns, and now am doing 305 on my cherry black. Maybe it is the increased accuracy and double tapping, but really it all depends on how you make it work. If you keep saying 'bleh im disappointed' then unfortunately you will never appreciate the good things about the keyboard.

I've got my cherry blues, and I have one friend with browns and another with blacks. The blacks feel downright awful, I'd rather have a membrane keyboard honestly. The browns are okay, but they just don't feel or sound anywhere near as satisfying as the blues.

Going and trying as many switches as you can is a good idea, as it is mostly personal preference. I don't think there is any difference between them in bottoming out, blues and browns should be easier to avoid bottoming out on because you have some feedback.
I have blues and blacks, I use the blues for SC2 and blacks for BF3 and skyrim (and browns for typing, but that is just because its a tenkeyless, I prefer blues for typing).

Im using filco majestouch red switches. Awesome keyboard

I thought I was a gamer, and yet reading through this thread has left me in befuddlement. There's a difference to keyboards beside how they look?!
I def need to look into this kind of stuff next time I buy a keyboard... had no idea different "switches" even existed.

well its minor honestly. all mechanical keyboard switches(well most) are great. but i warn you, you wont be able to return to the swampy nasty feeling of a membrane board

Blues are very slightly stiffer than browns, so I guess technically browns are easier to bottom out. But if you're going to bottom out every time regardless, then it doesn't matter which you get. They will feel identical wrt bottoming out.
There's no need to limit yourself to what's available at the store. Order a Rosewill from Newegg and return it if you don't like it. Failing that, you can usually resell on geekhack for 60-80% of what you paid.

Red requires the least force 45g to bottom out. Try that.

They don't in rubberdomes, in mechanical keyboards they do

Then there's also topres that are interesting
