Hello everyone :) Im moving from a membrane keyboard to a mechanical one. Originally I wanted to go with Corsair k65 that only has cherry mx reds, however after doing some research Ive found that reds arent very good for typing. Now I am a lil bit confused which one to choose. Im used to a membrane keyboards and never tried a mechanical one. None of my friends have mechanicals either. Shops here dont have any switch testers... So I need to chose wisely. I need a switch that will be suitable for both gaming and typing. For gaming - I am AAA title and MOBA player, maybe some FPS like CSGO or BF from time to time(not a pro leven doe) . As for typing I wont be writing poems or books, but I need it for academical essays and writing some notes during the research. As for my typing style. Sometimes I like to press buttons really really firmly and secure, however Im precise with my buttons. Also I would take noise into consideration as I am a nightbird and do most of my computer work at night, so something not as noisy as blues is a plus.
I need some advice on which switches I should go with. Maybe someone has any personal experiences and would like to share? AFAIK local shops only offer keyboards with Cherry mx Greens, Blues, Reds, Browns and Blacks. No clears, speeds or silents.

Thank you in advance :)

I own a black board and a blue board. I prefer the blue for typing, and it's not even close. Likewise, I prefer the black for gaming, but it's much closer there. I think a brown switch might be along the lines of what you're looking for. It's got the tactile feedback, but isn't as clicky.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.
