I've had my v60 mini with green switches for a few months now, greens are just too stiff for me. Should I go for blues since its a light green?
-
Sure. If you think that it's the weight that you don't like. Blues are MUCH lighter than greens though, for a midway point consider Matias Clicks.
-
Yeah, blues are about 15g lighter than greens and are around the average comfortable weight for most.
-
Nah. Matias clicky switches. :)

Here's the Thing..
I think Greens are a bit heavy NEW.. but broken in.. it's much smoother and softer..
Blue eventually becomes very smooth and light..
It's lighter than MX red eventually, because Blues have perceptibly reduced friction points.
-
Yes. Especially if you like the high-pitched clicks ;)
-
If you type with 10 fingers, blue's seem to be a better option, if the noise bothers you, consider reds too
I actually love greens, but had to give them up as the high bottom out forces really make the keyboards resonate/ping
How's v60 on this aspect, when you bottom out heavily on green's, do you hear a keyboard-wide resonation?
If not, you're very lucky, you might let your fingers adjust and get stronger, if there is no health risk involed

I agree that over time Greens do get exceptionally lighter and much smoother compared to stock blues, however my first keyboard a 2012 black widow with blues is like typing on reds with a click, strangely satisfying.
