Ok he's on cherry mx blues and says they are meant for gaming.... Can I punch him? lol. I told him what they are and he says membranes are better for typing... so please help me convince him before he makes a mistake buying a membrane KB trying to save him. :thumb:

Blues are perfectly fine for gaming. But membranes better for typing? LULZ
-
I know they are fine I've played on them, they are just heavy for long hours.
But to say that "gaming" mechanical keyboards suck for typing and what he said afterwards lol....
This is why I don't like keyboards being marketed for "gaming". People think they are the best thing in the world and they are perfect for gaming. I know someone who has a BWU 2012 who doesn't know what switch he has. But anyway I wish they stated what blues actually do and what other switches like corsair at least does.

It's opinion. You had problems with blues for gaming, but when I owned them I could play FPS for 12+ hours with no problems. Not sure what to say about membrane for typing.. I guess your friend has some unpopular opinions...
-
um.. let him try all the switch, maybe he will found one that he like, or maybe not(just like my friend)

I know, I said to try browns or reds, but he wants a membrane oh well what can I do it's his money lol.

AFAIK there doesn't have any backlit Topre, but I am not 100% sure

Ok I'll look around I'm actually looking to buy a Topre board one day.

I think scissor switches on my Mac are the best for gaming. I use my korean customs as fancy paperweights

Your friend is just misguided, but I'm with TP on this one.
If you aren't ready to cut him out just yet, get him a different membrane to type on - I think his problem is that his muscle memory is too strong.

Isn't this what everyone around here does?

I think that membrane keyboards are excellent for typing, though not the best. Of course I'm talking about my model M buckling spring hammer over membrane keyboards. Only the model F is better for typing in my opinion.
Sadly topre do not make a membrane keyboard (as far as I know), or you might get him to try it.
I'm currently using my kmac as a paperweight right now, coincidentally.

The only good membrane board is a Model M. But they really do suck for gaming as they are 2KRO.
