I've been lurking here for a while, growing more and more frustrated with my mushy membrane g15 bought in ignorance of the glorious mechanical master race. It's time to join the club.
My time is spent primarily on gaming, and from what I've read (I have read most gaming related posts on here) this leaves me with three options:
Cherry Blacks: Highly praised for gaming, high actuation force is great for rts games to prevent accidental keypresses and linear switching will do well with double tapping and speedy fps reactions. However, often said to be terrible for typing and potentially fatiguing. I find my pinky getting tired on the crouch (ctrl) key when I play for extended periods of time, so this is my main concern with blacks.
Cherry Reds: All the benefits of blacks at lower fatigue. Double edged sword, accidental keypresses in rts are more likely and also in fps since I rest my hands on wasd when I play. Typically described as "typing on air", which doesn't sound ideal, coming from a g15 I have a pretty heavy hand.
Cherry Browns: Middle ground, good for typing, decent for gaming, my main concern here is the small tactile bump which makes double tapping slightly harder.
I have a friend going to Hong Kong soon and she might be able to track down a cherry red keyboard for me, that's why it's an option here.
All in all, I'm leaning towards blacks, but I'm still wary of the fatigue that it may cause my pinky while gaming and otherwise while typing normally.
I don't have any questions in particular, I'm opening the floor up to discussion so that I can narrow down my needs and address my concerns. So have at it! I'll answer any questions that'll help me make my choice.
