Who has gotten used to Blues for gaming?

Nah, THIS part.

Saywhat?


So if you NEVER tried a mechanical Cherry Blues are for you?

It's pretty clear to me,, other switches have both actuate and release at the same point,, so "people who have" tried other switches may notice this difference on the BLUE switch,, where the two points are about 1mm apart.

Release point is higher than the actuation point on blues if I am right?

I use my Leopold Tenkeyless with Blues for all my gaming. I play at a competitive level in League of Legends, I play dota, and I used to play CS at a competitive level. IMO i enjoy the blues 1000x more then I did blacks.

So the trick to double tapping with Cherry Blues is to not use a Mechanical Keyboard previously.

Yeah.

Right.

The trick is to tap that suckah like you MEAN it!

Has the creator of the OCN Mechanical keyboard guide been told to fix the guide? Or even to fix it? It's ridiculous how many people read that guide before yours.

I did use a BWU (cherry blues) for world of warcraft for abit. On and off arenas to 1600-1800 rating only though. I didn't find it annoying or anything.

However, I think if double tapping is absolutely essential (which isn't for me) I'll go with another board ;p

I love cherry mx blues for gaming.  Whoever started the rumor that blues suck for double tapping is a sheep who over speculates and theorycrafts.  Empirically, these switches work great for gaming and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Edit:  I actually wasted money buying a cherry brown TKL board because of the OCN guide and sold it to buy a board with cherry blues after I tried a Razer Blackwidow at best buy.

I'm so close to ordering my first mech keyboard (with blue switches)....

Blues are totally fine for gaming, and I don't know why everyone loves to exaggerate how bad they are for double clicking or how they accidentally press on them when they rest their hands. Blues are awesome, and they work just fine if you need to double tap. Also they honestly are just about as loud as my old G15 but they sound much nicer.

Blues are good for gaming.

The amount of noise they make is grossly exaggerated.  I'm not as smart as Ripster, or I would coin a term for this phenomenon, like:  "Noise Exaggeration Syndrome" or "Henny-Penny hears a noise" or something.

Anyway, OP ur gonna love ur MX blues.

+1 for this guy

anyone here find blues to be more tiring to type on than reds or browns?

Not at all, exactly the opposite. The sound Blues make is so sexy i barely notice what im typing.

Blues are amazing for gaming. I played plenty of SC2 and other games with blues without a hitch.

Again, something about personal preference...
