So, I've been looking at the newest DAS keyboard and I'm not sure whether to get the version of it with Cherry MX Blues or Browns. I type a lot on forums and YouTube, but I also game a little. I know that Blues are more clickly, but I want to know which one (or any Cherry MX key type) is best for my situation and everyday use. Thanks for any help!

In terms of feel, Blues and Brown's are pretty similar, with the Browns offering up 5g more resistance if I remember correctly. The main difference though is that Blue's audibly click on the actuation point while Brown's do not, many consider Brown switches as a quieter Blue and as the best compromise between Blue (typing) and Red (Gaming).

Thanks! And btw, Browns: 60g vs Blues: 55g. I've know all about key switches, except which one is best suited for certain situations. I think I'll go with the Browns for the best all around one. :D
