Pfft, I run a custom built Linux-based Sable Complete from System76, which you, like, probably haven't even heard of, mainstream boy.
Wish I had one...

Okay, both of my keyboards just decided to take an early retirement. After only 20 and 10 years of service respectively, can you guys imagine? Preposterous!
So why I really came here was to ask if any of you guys use Cherry MX blues?
And if you have experience with switching from bent spring to the Cherry MX, especially the blues. I've read people have had problems with double typing the same key in games because the release height differs from activation height.
If you want to promote your super awesome choice of keyboard keep in mind it absolutely has to have NKRO(no, 6KRO is not enough) and that I use the swedish/finnish keyboard layout. Oh and I'm used to the exact nature of bent spring so no black or red switches.
EDIT: If anyone's interested, I got the QPAD MK-85 with MX Browns, nordic layout.
I was more interested in Topre Realforce but no macros and only 6KRO(keyboard itself is NKRO but supports only 6 over USB and doesn't work with PS2 adapter) made me choose the QPAD over topre's better switches and variable weighted keys. Topre would have been white but QPAD corrects the missing contrast with background leds for darker situations. You can turn them completely off too, I don't like the red when my room is well lit so I only turn them on if I'm watching a movie and need to look for a key or something.
I also considered getting MK-50 from QPAD but the possibility to have full NKRO over usb made me choose the 85 as it means full NKRO for laptops too. Also mk-50 doesn't have macros as far as I know. And it too is black, but doesn't have lights.
I'm content with the brown switches. They're not as crispy and sharp as buckling spring but they're A LOT quieter, especially when writing, when you don't bottom them out. I chose them over blues for gaming reasons but now once I've noticed how quiet they are, I'm glad I did.
TL:DR: QPAD MK-85 over Topre Realforce because of gaming reasons over writing comfort.
