Re: "Best"-"Worst" {^*Keyboards*^}
Switching from a rubber dome to a mechanical keyboard gave me a huge speed and stamina bonus due to the actuation force being much lower. I have a steelseries 6gv2 with red switches and despite accounts from some people that your accuracy is worse since reds have no tactile 'bump', my accuracy was able to improve due to less key resistance; this caused fatigue to be less of a problem in more technical charts or continuous jumpstreams. I suppose the only draw back is that you need to bottom out the keys in order to develop accuracy...which to me isn't bad at all since it ensures good technique but anyways
The double tap issue is definitely prevalent at least for me. My setups last for about 3 months of heavy use (counting keytaps is a bad indicator because how much force you hit the keys with will change the rate of this issue happening drastically...I hit my keys with a lot of force). I would imagine this problem to be very rare with casual or light use of a mech keyboard with red switches.
I've never tried flat or slim-types but it's something to look into for anyone with the funds for one imo.
Laptops have always given me huge trouble both with control and especially accuracy but I believe this only has to do with graphics or game lag issues associated with the laptop specs and not with the keyboard itself. Vibrating is definitely much easier on a laptop from my own experience. Actuation force is immensely low too allowing for arguably the best conditions for stamina/speed type playing where control isn't so much important.
On the issue of a keyboard making you a better player; it's no wonder golfers, hockey players, tennis players and even basketball players are so concerned with customizing their equipment to maximize their performance. Absolutely you can be limited as a player if you have the wrong keyboard but the issue most of us have is money. The K120 has been vouched for as the best affordable keyboard and that's good advice imo. I would love to order 4 or 5 different keyboards with various types of switches (this is probably the only true way to find what's best for you) but I need to wait until I have money
