Favorite Cherry MX Switch

Typing on Blues feels great, but I prefer Browns.  They feel 95% as good as Blues, and don't have the annoying click.

 

For me, Red and Black feel terrible for typing.  I game just fine on Browns (I don't play competitively at all) so I don't see reason to go with the "gaming" switches.

Mine is the MX Blue because it's amazing to type and to game!

When it comes to keys and gaming, I really don't think there's much of a difference between them all. However, I do think there is a difference in keys with typing so I always base my decision on the keys I can type the fastest on, and that is Blues.

The sounds of blues annoy my GF, but to me they are eargasmic.

Blue. It is the only one I have owned but I have felt Reds and I don't like them. I like the tactile feel, sound and the weight of the switch is amazing.

Yeah, Greens are too heavy to type comfortably on. Blues are the most comfortable IMO

I have two favorites actually, i also have two diffrent keyboards, one with browns, and one with blues and o-ring kit on, i personally like the blues with mod better but its also more expensive and a lot of time to mod.

BLUES are the sweet spot for me. So beautiful. I think if I try any other switch I will miss my BLUES.

 

Try to get rubber o-rings for it.

 

made it little less tacky and just orgasmic good feeling on them.

Greens I slam keyboards and will accidentally press reds, blues, and browns just by having my hands on them.

I tried using some dental bands, using two on each made it feel really bad and only one had barely any effect.

You gotta have stiffer rubber then that, but i give you points for ingenuity.

I expected your response to be a sex pun.

Yeah, sometimes the old stuff is just better, but it has no back light and it's ugly.
