Never mind, I like browns now.

I don't like my blues for gaming that much, but I only really play FPSs. I've never been a big starcraft player because I'm so bad at it.

Tenkeyless. No number pad on the board.

I am absolutely horrendous with the blue. I am not sure why but the click and the tactile makes double tap extremely awkward for me. I do love it to death for general typing though. I ordered a linear cherry and hopefully it will fair better for me.

They are pretty sweet in tenkeyless form. Gonna get rid of my full size Das Keyboards soon.

I used to think blues sucked for gaming but I was certainly wrong.

I prefer gaming with the browns but blues are excellent for typing. :P

I just got done playing Day of Defeat: Source with Browns and there is no double tap issue and the bump is barely there. Consider that if you don't like the Blacks/Reds.

I quiet liked the blues for gaming but only until I got my first board with red switches.

But I agree with the OP on tkl boards!

TKL is The Known Lands for Neverwinter Nights 2.

Forum is here. (http://knownlands.com/phpBB3/)

Oh, ok. The op really crowbared that in there.

Might be a psychological thing for me. :/ it only really troubles me at around 80 apm. I think it has to do with not bottoming out at that speed for me while I love bottoming the keys out when I type.

I have no issues with using my blues for playing SC2. I play at around 180-200apm average(the longer a game goes on the higher it gets so I think my lategame plays closer to 300apm) and don't have any issues with it. I find that they also feel really sexy in FPS games.

I will report back when I get my red. :) perhaps I am so accustomed to scissors switches from my laptops that I struggle with the switch :/ my roommate actually logged into sc2 once to let me know my keyboard is too loud and she is trying to sleep once so at least the red will alleviate that issue!

Don't bottom out the keys, or it will very probably still be loud.
