Title: What Setup should I use on my WASD Keyboard
Post by: Rinx7 on Tue, 14 February 2012, 15:19:08

Well I want to get a new keyboard but I can't decide whether to get reds switches or black ones. I have pretty strong fingers so I have been thinking that blacks might be better for me. What do you guys think.

Well I guess if you have strong fingers you can use black switches, but maybe you like a lighter touch. Or maybe you like more force to help avoid bottoming out. What are you currently using?

If you have any way to try reds/blacks, I'd recommend doing so. Feeling is believing. ;)

I'm preferring reds currently, though browns are OK too. Tried a coworker's keyboard with blacks, and it felt quite tiring.

Reds are easier to push down than rubber domes.  Does this sound appealing to you?  If not then go with blacks.
