I still haven't own (yet) a mechanical keyboard. Still on membrane, i wanted to go with the Blue (BECAUSE IT'S SOUNDS SO GOOOOOOOOD), and anyway.... is double tapping with it easy? I mean, i would use it for gaming as well, and it would need a lot. A LOT. Of double tap. Is it easy to double tap? I don't know much about Cherry MX switches. And is Cougar 700K good? Or perhaps any other alternative (with multimedia keys and programmable buttons, cougar is fully programmable)? Or should I go with the Ducky Shine 4?

That's all. Please answer :D

Hopefully this article can kind of help since I am rushed to put in an answer to try and help. http://www.keyboardco.com/blog/index.php/2012/12/an-introduction-to-cherry-mx-mechanical-switches/

And what is your budget for the keyboard and what backlighting do you want if any?

Read the link in my sig for all info on switches.

The Ducky Shine 4 is in my top 3 keyboards, so yeah, safe choice.

And what is your budget for the keyboard and what backlighting do you want if any?
