What switch do you guys recommend for a balance between typing and gaming? Cherry MX Red or Brown? Both seemed to be quite on par with one another after looking around.

err.... again this type of question where the answer is dependent on the user preferences???? doh.gif doh.gif



i think you need to seriously test them out and imagined your long term usage with them, some can game and type on MX blue, which you never put into your consideration, or sometimes people likes game with this switch, but type on that switch.... so this is totally an "answerless" question to be honest.... sweat.gif

Pushing it leh! If you guys can find out which factory we should order the caps from, we can get you just about any caps. We can even bundle them out with RK9000. The problem is that..we have no time to do this sort of research and we want to deal with factory direct, don't want to deal with Taobao.

Signature plastics in the US does custom stuff. But it doesn't come cheap as you can see in these prices which are pretty much a very accurate estimate. IMO better than ducky keycaps cos these are double shots.

I'd say brown. Reds are really soft and it's quite 'boring' for me to type on it. Blues has the tactile feel and clicky sound, what you get from browns are just the tactile feel when your fingers press down on a key. Hence, best of both worlds. Then again, it's down to everyone's own personal preference. Like Mr.Cyntrix hates Browns and loves Reds.

I've seen such comments whilst doing the comparison. And I would definitely appreciate some tactile feedback when pressing on a key.

So I'll go for the Brown one then. Thanks for your input!

Want to ask, currently only ducky keyboards (other than SS) are using cherry style stabilizers? others so far like rosewill, filco, CM, Razer, Logitech or Corsair all using wire type (not all wire type are costar-made).....

CM Storm Trigger, QuickFire TK, Corsair K60/K90, Logitech G710+, Rosewill RK9100, Leopold and Ducky are using Cherry style stabilizers.

My friend just bought the TK, while the backplate reflection on the backlight is certainly amazing in the first glance, it also made the switch misalignment problem quite significant. Overall quite solid, but definitely not the choice for those picky perfectionists. tongue.gif

Depends on yr preferences. Most people will say Typing+Gaming = Brown switch but i tried brown, I'm not satisfied totally. Blue is the best for typing coz i do my typist most, and red is the best after blue no matter what lol. Black like so so feel only...

I myself prefer the Brown switch. Black just needs too much force to press.
Never tried Red and blue's sound is too annoying

TK should be quite good for entry level mech keyboard user?

its ok for you to choose between both of it but risk of having difficulties for modifiers. if me i'll go for RK9100 due to not avid to gaming style kb.
