Switches are personal preference. No one can really say what you'll like on a keyboard

Do you guys think that getting gateron optical blue switches is a good option for a new 60% keyboard?!

There is no "best" switch, or a good idea for switches. It'll depend on your tastes. They're not garbage switches (scratchy, extremely unreliable, whatever) but that's about all I can say

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.
