Favorite Cherry MX Switch

Seriously though, I love the clicky sound of blues and I have a good feel for the actuation force and tactile bump.

Yup, same here.

Except I use Kailh on my Poseidon Z.

Brown, although I have only ever used browns long enough to form a true opinion of them and nothing else.

Voted blue, but I like Greens, Browns and Clears (in that order) as well.

 

Greys are too heavy (despite the really nice tactile bump) and I don't game enough to make Reds and Blacks worthwhile.
White's are too quiet to be proper clicky switches but too loud to be used in quiet places, they feel nice though.

Never tried MXs, but probably greens because they're closest to the Model M.

Reds because they are great for typing and gaming which is pretty much what I always do. Any they are fairly quiet.

 

Reds are only good at typing if you're good at typing with reds lol. It took me like a year of typing with reds to be able to type quickly without tons of typo's but now that i'm used to them i would definitely agree and say they are great for typing. Also yea definitely good for gaming.

I considered browns, but they are a poop colour and there's no room for them here.

I use Blues for gaming and Reds for typing. If I was forced to use one switch type I would probably use Browns.

Thats weird, its normally the complete opposite

Edit: And I always use o-rings.

MXBlue master race.

I myself got used to reds, i actually like them as an allrounder, even though they're designed for gaming. But i never really gave other switches a try, browns sound interesting to me as well.

I don't really dare to vote if i haven't tried other switches.
