Hey guys;
I have owned an Aukey KM-G3 mechanical keyboard for about 3 years now. It has a cheaper brand of Cherry blue switches.
I like the keyboard. It is by far the best keyboard I have ever used. However, I do have a couple of complaints:

  1. Some of the keys are now causing chatter, which results in double characters
  2. I seem to be making a lot of typos. Could this be due to the low operating force of the keys?

I have installed a small program called 'keyboard chattering fix' which takes care of the double hits, but I still seem to be making a fair number of typos.
It seems to me that there isn't enough resistance to keypresses with these keys.
So, I'm considering a new keyboard with real Cherry (or another quality brand) keys. I would want a key that has a slightly higher operating force.

My main use for the keyboard is typing, not gaming.

I would appreciate your advice.
Thanks

Update:
I am looking for a good quality mechanical keyboard with these features:
Cherry MX switches; green or blue
RGB lighting
$100-$150 range.

There are a few dozen keyboard you can look at for that price, seems you like the loud tactile click ones. The Romer G keys from Logitech are very nice (I have a keyboard with them) they are smoother feeling than MX but I have not tried their clicky switches.

I have a Leopold keyboard, those are pretty good construction with MX switches https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=3545

You may also want to check on keybvoards with Kailh and Gateron switches. I recently got a Gateron Red Optical based keyboard and they are very nice switches. Although...

Although the specific keyboard I got itself is a bit annoying due to how it's setup with firmware and software, that does not take away from the key feel however.

Keychron has some pretty interesting keyboards https://www.amazon.com/stores/node/19833018011?_encoding=UTF8&field-lbr_brands_browse-bin=Keychron&ref_=bl_dp_s_web_19833018011

This one has Optical Blue switches you may like and has a neat compact full keyboard layout https://www.amazon.com/Keychron-Wireless-Bluetooth-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B07WT9YSWZ?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1

I'm probably going to do a custom build, starting with the Glorious GMMK. I'm not sure which switches I will use, but I am going to get some to try out before buying the whole 104 keys. I would go with a tester, but none contain exactly the switches I am interested in, and I can save money by going with packs of 10ea from NovelKeys. Only problem is that some of the Kailh switches I am interested are out of stock, and very difficult to find elsewhere.

I had thought that the Outemu blues that are on the Aukey KM-G3 I am now using are too light, but have been re-thinking that recently. Perhaps all I want is a better quality blue switch, but I really want to try some of the Kailh box switches (specifically the Jace and Navy) and also some switches from Gateron, and perhaps some from Cherry as well.
Maybe even some higher quality Outemu.
