I have a K90. reds make me sick, I need something heavier and I was thinking Browns or Blues.

I haven't extensively tested browns but I have had more time with clears. Compared to those the blues are lighter and a bit more tactile to me. 

But since you asked for comparisons

against browns this really isn't of help.

Stock coolers - The sound of bare minimum

browns are actually a little lighter. But you can't really compare them because the blues have dat click.

Blues.:) I love 'em, don't know 'bout you! Just go to your retailer (if any. Even if you'rte buying online, just go to your retailer and just check 'em out) and check all they have,then buy :). I do the same!

Blues are great, but the sound can be a bit annoying for some who like a more muffled sound, and for fps gaming they suck (I just get out my membrane for that)

"Release point lies above the actuation point, can be very detrimental to double-tapping."

 

So this sucks for fast paced gaming when you're pressing a lot of keys. Go for browns if you want a middleground between typing, comfort, and gaming IMO. Blacks and reds are not worth it, and greens are way too heavy and have the same problem as blues.

Go for what you like. Blues = a tad bit heavier + *click*.     Browns = a tad bit lighter - *click* +  a distinctive "muffled" noise (if you type fast/heavy and type all the way down)

 

Honestly the "actuation force" won't really matter if you're a heavy typist. lol

WASD Keyboards also sell a tester pack of different keys, which includes the blues and browns. So you can buy a $10 pack and get it delivered and feel the difference for yourself. Its what I did, initially I figured I wanted blues since that was the main recommendation but after getting the pack I actually got the reds.

But it's $10...

Little bit too much imo

very similar in my opinion but then browns are just switches w/o blue noise.

I have one of both a Ducky DK9008P Premier Green & White Version PBT Mechanical Keyboard (Blue Cherry MX) and a Logitech G710 PLUS USB Wired Gaming Mechanical Keyboard- Cherry MX Brown .

 

My comparison. Blues take a bit more to press them down and have a more heavy feel to them. I have PBT keycaps on my blues but they do take a bit more to press down however to me feel more accurate. Browns are lighter and are not loud in the slightest especially if you get o-rings which come equipped on the G710+. I generally type faster on the browns. With less force required I generally type faster.

 

Both are very good. I love my browns but I also really love the feel of blues to due to the feel and accuracy that the browns have but not nearly as much.

 

With the blues I get around 124 WPM and with the browns the fastest I've done is 130 WPM.
