Title says it all. Just curious.

I personally don't enjoy 9-string guitars, but that doesn't change the fact that they look awesome as hell!

I DESPISE reds, I just hate linear switches in general, and no Green Switch Options?

I honestly don't think a switch is going to help you that much in games as long as it isn't broken or uncomfortable. I feel like Browns are the best choice because they feel great to type on and are comfortable when gaming.

Blues and Clears are my favorite, Browns and Greens are ok too, talking from a everyday use not only gaming, since it's stupid to buy something ONLY to game IMO.

You forgot greens, clears, and all the alps switches

I didn't forget though, I just wanted to compare these ones.

I use Greens however I think something like Blues are slightly better for more responsiveness due to a having as somewhat same but lower actuation point with less force required 50grams vs 80grams on greens.
