I was leaning on Blue cherry switches, but then I heard that you can't double tap so well on them. Being a RTS player, this is quite big for me. What should i get now?

you can doubletap on blues. in any case browns are going to be similar just without the audible feedback (the click noise).

my guess is that the statement originated from them having key letoff and a tactile bump when pressed. i suppose the impression is that since the key goes through this motion you will not be able to press it again until it resets. the time it takes for the key to reset however is very fast and unless you intend to try and doubletap the key by pushing it down all the way then only raising it up a hair then pressing it down again i doubt you will have a problem. there is a minimum height the key needs to reset to.

blacks and clears are regarded as the best gaming switches because they have no feedback at all...

blacks and clears are regarded as the best gaming switches because they have no feedback at all. essentially they are keys sitting on springs. while movement may be slightly enhanced (opinion by some... i thought blues were fine as is) typing however is not so great (even rubber dome keyboards often have tactile feedback, blacks and clears dont).

if you type alot i say go browns or blues. if you dont type and only game you can go with blacks or clears.

ultimately its personal preference.
