Will I suffer from Cherry blue?

post #1 of 6

Thread Starter 
I am looking into mechanical keyboards and really enjoy that click sound the blue produces after trying out the blackwidow (w/ the opening of the box in the arrow key area) in bestbuy. However, I wonder if my gaming experience will suffer from that switch because I developed a "rubbing" habit from my previous fps gaming. Kind of reduce the force on the key but keeping the key fully pressed. Now there's a deal on the brown quickfire on newegg I wonder if I should jump on that.

I use mx blues and play CS/QW/sc2 and have no problem with any of them.

to my knowledge brown keys still make a fairly loud click anyway, though obviously its not quite the same. I use mx blacks (steelseries 6GV2) and have tried mx blues on a few occasions, i havent noticed much of a difference for gaming other than the clicking action but thats just me. i love my mx blacks to bits, i hope you get a keyboard that you love too!

The only click that you'll get from a Brown is when you bottom one out.
Can't really comment on whether you'll like the Blues or not, I personally like them more than Brown switches (feel mushy compared to Blues) for gaming but YMMV.

Thank you for the comments. Well the CM brown is sold out anyway so I guess I'll just wait for a cherry blue deal. And for my "rubbing" habit, maybe I should just change it, haha. I just love how the blue sounds and feels.

My first mechanic keyboard had MX Blue switches, and i gamed without any issues. Only thing i do advise is to get o-rings, i had them and it erased the ugly "clonk" sound of bottoming out, leaving the awesome "click" sound only.
