Best Key Switch to Avoid Mistypes?

[Scionyde]

So, I'm a horrible typist: fairly often, I tend to make mistakes by also catching the edge of keys adjacent to the one I want. I suppose the simplest solution would be to become better at typing, and not have my keyboard be at different angles on my desk all the time, but meh. I'm assuming Cherry MX Blacks would be the best option, being a bit heavier?

 

Any thoughts, or are all of the switches pretty much the same in this regard?

clears/green then blacks/blues/browns then reds.

Blues are regarded as the best for typing, so them I guess, Its not gonna make your typing more accurate though.

I think the best solution would be a heavier key with a tactile bump that requires you to pass the specific actuation point to activate the key. 

 

So avoid, Reds and Blacks. Clears (Browns for lighter), unless you want the clickyness too in which case Greens (Blues for lighter).

Definately this

 

Browns  or blues will be the easiest to find, and their tactile bump will help you feel when you are hitting keys better, and blues will give that lovely clicky sound for further feedback

 

I suggest doing some typing practice , maybe even some typing games! like Typing of the dead overkill great way to learn

^ This. I have a keyboard with Clears (typing this out on it) and a keyboard with Blues. I've noticed it is harder for me to make a mistake with them.

I think blues would be great

Clear / green, then blues then browns.

Not trying to threadjack, but how do you like your clears? What model do you have? I've come to the conclusion that I want clears because, in my honest opinion, I hit keys too hard to notice the tactility of browns.

 

I'm trying to find an LED backlit board with clears, but they're so so so hard to come by. Really wish the K70 and the Ducky Shine 4 came in clears, because those keyboards look sweet.

Yes, they're awesome, I decided to go for the Ducky Shine Mini from my red K70 and I can't be happier....

 

I also have a brown Quickfire Rapid at home, which doesn't feel as comfortable to type on as either the Ducky or the K70. Now, I'm not sure if it's because of the keyboard itself (it's form factor), the brown switches, or the fact that my desk at home is too high...so

I personally love them. They feel nice to me to type on, and yet I still bottom them out with ease. If you're wondering, this is the keyboard I have. I love it.

I'd like to know why Ducky only puts the clears on the mini, and not the Shine lineup. I really would like to find a full size keyboard, because I love my num pad. Oh well. Nothing's ever easy is it? Haha.
