First Mechanical Keyboard HELP

I have been looking forward to get a mechanical keyboard for a very long time but never really attempted to. I've been using a simple keyboard. I think they were black alps? I'm not entirely sure. I've been doing quite a bit of research on different mx keys. (I live with people so the topic of mx blues can maybe stay down). I've been leaning towards the corsair vengeance k70 or k95 RGB. Currently, I do a lot of gaming. I just built a brand new rig like a week ago. I do heavy RTS and FPS. So already the k95 is my #1 choice and it is. I just don't know the key caps I want. I want either brown or red. I heard red is great for gaming but no realization when you press it down like the browns though. I have had no luck with finding and MX Brown k95 that does not go below the price of $300.... stupid retailers.... My question is, what are the pros and cons of getting mx reds and mx browns. Thanks!

IMO, dont get RGB.

IMO< i hate browns, like reds. but, some feel the oposite.

reds are smooth, no click. Browns there is a bump you can feel.

 

Personaly, i like the alps of my 1992 apple adjustable keyboard. My k70 with reds is collecting dust now....
