Anyone ever use a mechanical keyboard for SM?
I really want a mech keyboard, but the different switches being good and bad for different things make it hard without trying them all out
How well has each switch worked out for you?

Re: Anyone ever use a mechanical keyboard for SM?
Mechanical keyboards gave me an accuracy boost probably due to louder keytaps. Once you get used to how they feel speed is no problem.

Re: Anyone ever use a mechanical keyboard for SM?
My experience is blue switches is good for singlenote streams and MA and brown is a bit harder to get good accuarcy but it's a bit better for hitting aids patterns that require twitch/doubetapping

I've skillboosted a lot when I got my mx blue kb. Also, they aren't really as bulky as they seem

Re: Anyone ever use a mechanical keyboard for SM?
I just bought a brown switch keyboard and got it in the mail today
haven't quite played SM with it for a session yet but from the testing rounds I've played MA isn't too bad compared to my normal skill

Re: Anyone ever use a mechanical keyboard for SM?
Blue seems bad for jacks
Curious if anyone has input on reds/blacks |

Jacking is pretty easy for me on blue switches

I just bought a razer blackwidow and it owns. Still getting used to it for stepmania, but I love it for every game I've played so far.

Re: Anyone ever use a mechanical keyboard for SM?
I have this keyboard too, it's pretty awesome. Took a while to get used to, but the keytaps are so satisfying. Not sure if my roommate agrees with me about the keytaps though :P

Re: Anyone ever use a mechanical keyboard for SM?
I've never used a mechanical keyboard (buying one soon too) but I'd imagine reds would be pretty good for speed since they're so light.

Re: Anyone ever use a mechanical keyboard for SM?
using a blue switch kb for jacks/speed is like using rubber cement to jack off

Re: Anyone ever use a mechanical keyboard for SM?
I was told red switches fuck your MA up since they don't have any feeling of actuation until you bottom them out but my MA is pretty well the same with my new keyboard. Reds are NOT good for vibrating, I've still yet to find a good bulky keyboard that can do this reliably.
