Um, sorry about the last empty message I sent. I obviously need a mechanical keyboard to prevent that kind of slip from happening again.
In all seriousness, I bought a similar keyboard from monoprice recently. It had cherry mx blues. It really bothered me how far I had to move the key up and down, it really slowed me down when typing double letters or moving the cursor up or down two lines quickly in emacs. With my (supposedly lame) membrane or scissor switch keyboards I do a quick little twitch of my finger and it registers the double tap, but with the cherry mx blues it took big ka-chunk ka-chunks to get a double tap. I sold the keyboard to a friend who was super excited to get it. Is there a different color switch that is better for quick double taps? Maybe one that was suggested for gaming?
