What mechanical switches should i get for gaming red or blue?

[DoubleY]

Are you open to other suggestions? Try MX browns!

 

If not, just get Blues.

Try them out and see which one you like better. Switches are personal preference and no switch is better than the other.

Try them out yourself, everyone has a different preference. It's not really a "this iz best!" kind of thing.

You can order a sample of all the switches online for like $9 if you don't have a store to go try them out in.
It's worth it, if you plan on dropping $150+ on a keyboard that will last a long time.

Yeah, definitely impossible to say which you'll like best. All of them will WORK for gaming, reds being generally accepted as the best "gaming switch" and blues as the best "typing switch", but a LOT of people like typing on reds or gaming on blues.

I didn't have a chance to try different switches, I was just lucky to choose blues and like them. Try them if you have the chance to.

But how do you know you won't like the other switches better? 

Also, reds in my opinion are the best out of the ones I've tried (Blue,Brown,Red)  Red switches dont need to be pushed all the way for them to register on the computer, therfore your movments and controls for gaming are quicker and more responsive

Well I don't know that haha but I'm happy with the blues and they seem to fit what I like; tactile and 'satisfying'.

I Have a Razer Blackwidow 2013 STEALTH (Plz dont refer me as a rich kid) and they have Brown switches, If you like Backlighting you may wanna wait for RGB along with the Key switch you like, although RGB Will be limited to corsair. As someone said earlier, you should get sample keys, making sure you don't regret your switch choice. Have fun

I got a Logi. G710+ with browns. It's amazing to type on and spectacular for gaming! I personally like the o rings (come stock) on the switches too. I tried all the others but these felt best. Just go with what you feel is best. I remember how akward I was at typing going from laptop though. I kept half pushing the key caps next to the one I meant to which would register it. So just go try some and see how they feel.
