Mechanical keyboard problem

Hey guys, I got my Corsair Vengeance K70 keyboard with cherry MX blues about 1.5 months ago and I have been using it regularly but I have a problem. I seem to make more mistakes than a regular 10 bucks logitech membrane keyboard and my typing speed has not improved... am I just not used to it yet or something else? I'm kinda feeling buyer's remorse and I saved up for quite a while to get this keyboard....

ASUS ROG G75VX

Do you type on it all the time? If not try to type on it more/ I have to switch between chiclet on my school computer to MX Green. Try to type on your blues a lot and then make mistakes on the membrane

I have a similar problem. My theory is, it's the higher actuation point of the switch. Rubber switches usually have to be bottomed out to be actuated. But cherry MX keys actuate half way pressed. So if you accidentally hit 1.5 keys on your keyboard, the second one is actuacted aswell, where on a rubber KB that half press wouldn't have been registered.

 

That's why i dislike the new Razer Black Widow with it's razer switches so much. :D

who cares...
