Just bought a filco ninja tkl w/ blues.

And, so far. I hate it.
I love the build quality, the look, the keycaps are decent etc. But the problem for me is the mx blue switches. If I type on them, I get stuck due to the accutation point, and after one day of using it I can't even type correctly.
However; I do know that that is my own fault, a personal preference, and not the switches fault. So, I advice everyone to try out theese switches.

What I came here to ask for was: Is there anyone else on here that reacts badly to mx blue switches. I used buckling springs before, so maybe that's the problem?

You get "stuck"?

It will take awhile to get used to the actuation travel, I struggled for a few days when I first went mechanical.

[Viz]

You get "stuck"?

Yes, due to how the switch is built. It's very hard to explain. THis is not a "HELP!!! WHAT SWITCH SHOULD I GET THREAD?!?!?!"
I'm just wondering if anyone has similar issues, due to being used to other switches.

Longweight: I've used the buckling springs for half a year, and my HHKB since I got it.

If you're used to buckling springs and "ride" the actuation point when you type rather than bottoming out, then I can see how Blues would be weird, since the actuation and reset points aren't the same as they are in buckling springs.

It's more of a personal preference I think.  I'm getting a board with mx browns soon. And then i'll settle down with the switches I enjoy the most.

I don't think the actuation and reset points are the same in buckling spring boards, are they really?
Maybe bottom out too much to notice.

well, I wouldn't say they're the same as far as the force curve goes. But (at least in my experience), there's a definite "click" point at both the actuation and the release.

you are scaring me, I desperately wanted a cherry blue as my second mechanical keyboard  (coming from cherry red)

[Zarlek]

The first mechanical i bought came with blues and i love them so much. As always its just personal preference, for me though im scared to buy a board with anything but blues i just love my clicking 

[Mater]

Well I see how it would be a problem...I just bought the same board as you. Just hold on there and give it a shot. It should grow on you in a two or so weeks.

I higly encourage everyone to try the mx blues. They are nice switches, but not my cup of tea.
I'm more of a Topre/mx brown/buckling spring person.
HF with the clicking!

Don't worry. I love my blues.

I have blues and browns. I find that I type faster on the browns an more accurate. I think I know what you mean when you say you are getting "stuck" like when you press the key it doesn't register but you feel the tactical bump? If so this is the same problem I have when typing on blues. I think this is due to how the switch is made.  Everyone has been telling me that there is a break in period for the blue that will cause the switch to accuate smoother and won't have that problem of getting "stuck".
