wouldn't it be easier to rapidly spam inputs with browns since it takes much less force to do so?
Yes and no, force wise yes but the browns have the tactile point rise and that rise in force no matter how temporarily is felt slows down the switch i.e. felt like friction or rising resistance.
Linear switches subtly rise in force not suddenly. But at the same time the 60g actuation force and 80g bottoming out is fairly resistive. Plus the spring on the mx black is not only short but thick unlike the brown switch being thin and long.
Notice the differenceOne of the reasons people have been wanting MX reds despite how light they are.
Even I who used the mx blacks for a number of months found them unbearable after a while for FPS and whatnot, it's enjoyable and very quiet not much key chattering but fatiguing.
Most of the time when gaming you bottom the keys out anyways, except that with the blacks certain keys are hard to bottom out due to being further away from wasd ( increasing tension).
For an FPS game yes but your playing an RTS and if your the type of person who is playing SC like they have with all the high APM and whatnot. Then you can develop muscle memory from not having to bottom out.
I'm not saying you won't bottom out or your not allowed to bottom out but if your the type of person who remains calm and is fairly actively using their keyboard then it doesn't hurt to at least try and develop some muscle memory.
The benefit of a lighter switch is less fatigue. Wonder how the topre fairs with the soft landing if people are mashing them down at such fairly hard key presses.
Although I'm not suggesting, considering it's out of most people's budget.
just trying to understand what you mean by hammer the tactile point for repetitive inputs so I can kinda get more of an idea what browns are like...I really appreciate all the help guys 
you made my decision 100x easier to make.
He means that with the linear you can rest just before the actuation(remember all of cherry MX-type are 2.0MM actuation, not for all switches some have different points of actuation but for MX). And basically you can rest on them and spam away though it's hard to tell without the tactile bump.
It's hard to learn but some people have done it. But the benfits of it are merely situational. I've noticed when I was actively using the MX black in FPS that while I used them all the way down the smoothness and dead-center capability made strafing side to side fairly more responsive and without actually fully depressing the switch.
But I'd say the whole rest just before the actuation point is merely a situational syndrome were your kinda in a precarious position and are trying everything to survive.
Maybe it's just me but to me it was more of an reassurance that my keys responded quicker.
Browns actuate at the same point as their reset correct?
A tiny hair off but unnoticeable, so yes.
As for the whole spamming thing if it goes any further. It's just warming up like cracking your knuckles before using a piano. It's only later on that the speed starts to make a difference.
