I got my sample from WASD keys today and I was messing around and i think i like reds but i can't tell for sure as i do not have a full keyboard to try out and test but reds seem the best for double tapping.

I use lubed Cherry MX Clear's with 62g springs.

Membrane, because I need chiclet for a comfortable typing experience.

Chicklet keyboads are scissor switxh not membrane.

Don't care, you can't get mechanical chiclets.

Extremely close when I tested them on an old Cherry board.

 

I suggest browns. I seem to like them, even though I'm too poor to afford one!

Blues. 

This is my first Mechanical Keyboard. I have a sample pack from WASDKeys. 

I like Blues. The noise doesn't annoy me. It kinda soothes me.
