You need to find out for yourself which keys to go with. I'd say Blue for typing, but only you can make that choice.

If you type a lot I would suggest Blues and Browns for that tactile feedback so you don't have to bottom out the keys, and also people really do like those keys for gaming even if the reds are marketed as a gaming switch and the others a typing switch.

 

For loud feedback use blues for just the tactile feedback use browns :)

PROFILEYEAH

What do people even put in these things?

Depends on what color you like best, the keyboard is an absolutely solid way for gaming.

 

But just as a reminder, depending on where you are living.. a US keyboard layout is different to other countries' layouts, i.e. Germany, Finland, Brazil, etc.

 

If you are alright with that maybe you live in the UK you're going to be fine.

You already own a keyboard right? (or else how could you type this? assuming you're on desktop) So... you just buy red ones for gaming and keep the old keyboard for typing :)

If you don't mind & have the patience to change it again and again :)

we use US layout

I typed this on my phone...lol... :D

but yes I do have a keyboard which my friend wants to buy from me

 

blue is just waay to loud

ive been using one for a year

go with brown

it has the same feel (almost) but non of the noise

 

 

Brown is a safer choice, you are less likely to be annoyed with them. Blues are noisy.

 

 

You need to find out for yourself which keys to go with. I'd say Blue for typing, but only you can make that choice.

 

very well said...I think I am gonna go with browns...hope I like the gunmetal gray of k70 when it arrives :)

PS.

Pick which one you think is right for you...
