Hello all. I currently own a steelseries 6gv2 and I was wondering if there are better switches for games where you hit a lot of keys. I feel like the black switches are tiring out my fingers and causing some strain. Is there a better switch for this? and if there is, what are some good basic keyboards (no lights, extra) w/ those switches. Thanks!

MX browns with Rosewill or WASD or leopold with Elite keyboard They are non clicky with tactile action.
Mx blues are nice but they are clicky with tacticle action, they are also more for the typist than gamers because of the clicky ness. If you like the linear action of the steelseries then get mx reds which i know Rosewill, Corsair, Leopold, WASD currently have some mx switches that are reds. MX reds are exactly like MX blacks but they are alot lighter.

+1 for WASD.
Also Ducky/ Filco are always good choices.
As for the switches I'd suggest Blues, if you are used to Blacks then you may make a lot of mistakes with Reds and I don't really see any reason to get Blues unless you are going to be doing a serious amount of typing.
