Also looking for recs -- a nice mechanical kb for MAing. Kinda want it to be clicky, unless that ruins MA. Maybe blue or brown switches.

When I played, I used red switches and loved them.

MAing seems to be completely hit or miss when you try a variety of different setups (keyboard, monitor, sm version, vsync on/off etc.) at least for me. I can't really comment on switch types because I haven't experimented a whole lot, my opinion on brown was very negative at first since I bought a brown switch and couldn't play at all on it. Then I tried Staiain's brown switch and it was really easy to get used to. I've been using the same red switch for the last 3-4 years and my MA doesn't suffer despite there being no actuation feedback.

I would recommend buying a set of extra keys though from logitech's site
I've snapped the plastic bits on two keys so far

not really happy with this keyboard now lol. will probably go back to a corsair at some point

Re: What is the best Cherry MX switches for SM?

out of every switch ive tried(ive tried all the cherry switches) I prefer the browns the most.

I've been using the browns since I started playing again and I am definitely enjoying them. Its much easier to hold combo's on faster stuff. My MA is almost back where it was when I stopped playing years ago.

blue/brown


i have browns atm and they're coo, miss the blue ones most tho. the tactile feel of blue is really fun for timing stuff.

but stian suggested brown, maybe for faster stuff?

This, basically. The tactile feel of both are just amazing once you get used to them.

Reds I've had constant misses and cb's due to the lack of any actuation feel of the keys. It was the reason why I gave my Corsair to my lil bro for this kb.

I'm using blues in my TT Poseidon Z RGB and the only thing I have issues with is jackhammers.

It really is all about personal preference, ultimately, though. You just have to experiment. There are some things I do better on rubber dome keyboards like my Apex RAW that are much harder on my Poseidon Z. It's just one of them things.

i recommend not getting a razer black widow for SM or FFR. not very responsive at all.
