What are your preferred switch types?

What are your preferred switch types?

I personally prefer Cherry MX Blues and Buckling Springs.
I just love the crisp clacks and tactile feedback they provide. :)

    Using Cherry MX Reds right now, I like the smooth typing feel. But, to be honest, I haven't tried them all!

    I realized a couple weeks ago that the keyboard I used all my childhood on the family's IBM Win 3.1 machine was a Model M. Unfortunately, my father doesn't have it anymore :(

      Damn that sucks :(

      They're so expensive now, unless you get lucky and someone doesn't know what they have...

    Love blues (whether Cherry, Kaihl, or Razer greens). Gotta have that clack.

    I've only tried cherry mx reds and browns, between those two, I like the browns better.

    I like some tactile feedback after it activates without it being too loud. Even with browns, I still bother some of my co-workers.

    I'm partial to Blues for now, but I'm looking for a cheap Model M and a cheap White ALPS board.

    My favorite right now are the salmon alps in this AEKII. There's just something about them that no other switch has been able to replicate.

    I love cherry browns, but wish they had slightly more tactile feedback, I wanna feel that bump. The actuation force of the blues makes my fingers hurt :(

    Right now i am trying out topre, which i think i might like for typing, but am on the fence on how they feel for gaming.

    I have Cherry MX Browns on my Ducky Shine 2, but I want to get some blues (or maybe greens...)

    I want to get a Model M to try buckling springs too.

    I have only ever tried MX blues and Razer greens and, while I like the click, I find them a tad too light. I would like to try MX greens.

    Cherry MX Blues, love the clack. I'm sure everyone else in the house doesn't though. :)

    I tend to prefer the greens myself, but I just got a POK3R with clears, and man do they feel nice.
