I've been reading a lot about people not liking the mx blues on the QFR. Is there something wrong with them? its been making me second guess myself on getting the blues and consider getting the greens instead even though they are much more expensive.
Haven't tried blues on the QFR (or QFS), but the greens feel amazing. I have blues on my Filco MJ2 Ninja TKL, and I like the greens on the QFS better. However, they are rather heavy at an actuation force of 80 cN compared to 50 cN for blues, and I think they could be fatiguing for long typing sessions. I've come to the conclusion that the ideal Cherry switch for typing might be around 60 cN. This is the actuation force for Matias switches and the lower range for IBM buckling springs (60 - 80 cN). I much prefer typing on my IBM SSK than anything else I've tried. However, you cannot go solely on the basis of published actuation force values. Each board has its own characteristics. For example, I enjoy typing on a relatively cheap Keycool 84 with blues; I like the overall typing feel and sound, despite the fact that by some criteria this board would not get the quality rating ascribed to boards made by Filco, Leopold, and CM.
