Hi Forum, I've been looking to get a mechanical keyboard most likely on the corsair KXX line but im not sure which switches to get I like a good click as well as a tactile feel but I want good performance when gaming and typing as someone whos been using membrane keyboard all my life im not too sure on what to choose I want a heavy click but not too heavy that it could effect double tapping when gaming.

 

Thanks in advance

Try them out and seem what you like. If you're not sure, browns are an easy jump from membrane and is hard to go wrong with.
