It is impossible to describe the experiences of the various Cherry MX switches through any other medium but physical sensation. Thus, I cannot give you any other advice besides to get your hands on one. If the option to test a mechanical keyboard is absolutely impossible, I can provide you with some information. Any mechanical keyboard from Corsair uses the Cherry MX Red switch, hailed for its efficiency and comfort in respect to gaming. The Cherry MX Blue switch is my preferred switch, an opinion that I am sure is shared by many, and a mediator between the applications of gaming and typing; whereas, the Cherry MX Red switch in my opinion is not as comfortable when compared to the Cherry MX Blue switch. However, the difference is minuscule and would not be noticeable to the average user. The Cherry MX Black switch is analogous to the Cherry MX Blue switch minus the practicality for gaming. Cherry MX Red is mainly for gaming. Cherry MX Black is mainly for typing. Cherry MX Blue is a hybrid of the two.
