1. What kind of Cherry Mx switches should I use for gaming?

2. Is there a good full-size mechanical keyboard around the ball park of under $100?

  1. What ever suits you the best. There isn't really a right and worng answer. If you want to try them out, either go to a store or order a sample kit

  2. The Quickfire Ultimate is close: http://www.amazon.com/CM-Storm-QuickFire-Ultimate-Mechanical/dp/B00EJ8CKIY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1384189161&sr=8-1&keywords=quickfire+ultimate. But Rosewill also have some nice keyboards

1. Reds/browns (Red for spamming because it actives before you push all the way down) (Browns like blues but quieter and good for gaming). Then again you should go to a local store to try some out then choose for yourself or buy sample kits like Volbet mentioned

I like reds

I also love corsair keyboards, but they are a bit over your budget

It does: http://www.amazon.com/CM-Storm-QuickFire-Ultimate-Mechanical/dp/B00EJ8CHUU/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1384190146&sr=1-4&keywords=quickfire+ultimate. It's a bit more expensive, but you can probably find it cheaper some other place. I also have no idea where you are located, so look at local retailers.

I assume that means New York stat. Then you should be fine ordering from Amazon, Newegg ect. It was just so we wouldn't recommend you American sites, and you were located in outside of North America.
