Best Cherry MX Switch And Keyboard For 50% Typing, 50% Gaming

Jrv01

If you find that MX Browns are too easily pressed as well, and you want to stick in the realm of tactile non-clicky switches, give MX Clears a shot. They are heavier browns.

I have a cooler master TK and it's a great keyboard.

Another CM Storm TK owner here, and I love my Blues for gaming. I was actually taken back by how light blues were. I've been using keyboards since the 80's and owned a few IBM keyboards in various models. Over the years I went through logitech and microsoft gaming keyboards but now switched to the previously mentioned CM Storm TK with mx cherry blues.

 

They are really comfortable, and easy to game with.

I got browns for my first mechanical keyboard because I do typing and gaming. The G710+ is a keyboard that I would recommend for a Cherry MX Brown keyboard because it has O-ring beneath the keycaps which will help dampen the noise and it has a bright white led backlight.

If you type fast already and don't mind noise then mx blues are the way to go imo.
There are loads of different keyboards out there which have them. I'm using a tournament edition blackwidow since it doesn't have a numpad and is so easy to transport x).

Thanks for the replies guys! Really hard, but I guess it'll have to be my favorite which is Blues. I think that it'll be the Corsair K70, but I'm fully open to suggestions!
