Summary
Anyone else switching between Cherry blues and browns within the same workday? Do you suffer from tons of {{insufficiently-pressed key}} typos on the blues?
I'm postulating that muscle memory from Cherry browns has started intruding on my blue experience, causing problems.
Detail
An XArmor U9BL (Cherry blues) serves me every night for gaming. A Kinesis (Cherry browns) was restored as my daily driver after two months of using exclusively the Cherry blues night and day. Since I started typing half-time on browns and half-time on blues, suddenly I'm suffering a huge amount of missing letter typos when using Cherry blues.
My Kinesis has an internal speaker for audio feedback to help reinforce the Cherry brown tactile feedback. So over the last five years I've been well-trained with a light touch, trained to never bottom out Cherry browns. Using this light touch on 45cN keys seems to translate as a light touch causing missing letters when using my 50cN keys.
I know I'm special, but I'm wondering if this is one of those special experiences no one else has observed (like the voices). Anyone else switching between Cherry blues and browns within a workday? Do you drop characters on your blues?

I'm surprised that 5g of difference causes so much problem to you.
I tried moving back to my Logitech just for fun and my fingers can barely press on them and I type by missing a lot of keys. However, moving to a BS keyboard, I can type pretty nicely

My secret for successful frequent switch transition is to make sure I always bottom out.
Unfortunately, no boob clouding for me :(

Literally.
