Title: Is this keyboard browns, blues or something else?
Post by: sillyness on Fri, 05 July 2013, 19:40:40

Hi! I was browsing the /r/starcraft subreddit and saw a keyboard that I really liked, but there seemed to be some disagreement about the switches used in the keyboard so I was wondering if any of you could provide some insight? This site was mentioned so I posted it here, sorry if it's in the wrong subforum! Thanks! Here's the post I was talking about http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/1hp3qm/first_personapm_video_of_skt1_journey_at_the_wcs/cawgsg9

sounds like reds.

pro starcraft 2 players rarely use black switches unless they have to

reds are a bit  too light for sc2 imo. i prefer blue or  black. From the video im pretty sure they a linear switch

it's definitely a personal preference. most starcraft pros use browns and blues with a few using reds. very few pros use blacks. Only one i can think of would be White-Ra and he recently switched to browns.
