Cherry MX Blues or Reds

kpberger · Aug 16, 2013

Seeing it is very hard to find a place that i can try out either of these keyboards, i was hoping you all could help me a little with my decision.

I am someone who likes to have a little pressure when i push the key but i do not have to go all the way down. I dont mind the sound, actually i like it. That is why i decided to go with either these two. So what do yall think blue or red for me?

thanks as always!!

Blue is more for typing, but if you are looking for something like that probably red which is known as the best for games, and people who play games need to quickly press a key and spam keys. So I think you'd like the Red switches

The Cherry MX Red are linear key switches which allow for much faster and more accurate double and triple taps, and are completely gamer oriented. They're the lightest keys to press out of all, and don't have much of a clicky sound.

The Cherry MX Blue require a little more pressure than the Reds and do have that clicky sound, these aren't the best key switches for gaming, but they are perfect for typing and office use. If you could tell me what you plan on using the keyboard for, I can probably find a nice keyboard for you.

Then you are going to want Red, what is your budget?

kpberger · Aug 16, 2013

No budget, i was looking at the steelseries 6gv2 red

As Patrick said, look no further, Red is the best for you. If you have some money, a Corsair K70 would be perfect. If you want macro keys, K95, if not, K70. It's got red backlighting with the all black model, with the silver model, blue backlighting. It's got an aluminium plate reinforcing the keyboard, customizable backlighting for each individual key, a full length arm rest. Interchangeable WASD and 1 to 6 keys that are red and curved to let you know that your fingers are on the right spot without looking down, and a whole bunch of other features.

The keyboard you are looking at is highly rated and it seems like almost everyone loves it. If it is what you want then it'd be a good choice, unless you want macro keys, but if not then you'll be fine with that one

Cherry MX Brown is a good medium between red and blue. Good for gaming but not ultra sensitive which also makes it good for typing. Has a slight click sound but not as noticeable as the blues.

David Lugarov · Aug 16, 2013

Totally forgot about those. You're totally right. The Browns were made for those who just can't decide, so, it's more of a multi purpose key switch. It doesn't excell in any specific region, but it's balanced to work well for all uses.
