Throughout my high school career I always had the reputation of being one of the fastest typist in my class (as I am sure many of you are/were). After taking my typing class for about a month or two, I started to realize how uncomfortable socket keyboards were. Fast forward to now, I currently have a Max Keyboard Nighthawk X9 with the cherry mx reds. I like how the reds feel and sound, but I am realizing how poor my motor skills are (i.e. my fingers move faster than I can think = TYPOS ON TYPOS). So I guess what I am asking is, what switch would be best for me to switch to? Blue's are apparently the way to go, but I am not a huge fan that the blue switch produces. SOOO what switch should I get on my next keyboard? Thanks!

When i had a keyboard with browns, i was making constant typos, and MX Reds and Browns have the exact same spring, so they are just as light. either way, once i tried blacks and clears, i discovered they were a much better fit. not nearly as many typos, and they both felt much better.

What is the actuation force of the blacks/clears compared to the actuation force of like a socket keyboard? I had a Logitech G110 before I switched to mechanical if that helps at all.
