stay away from red imo.
your breath is enough to activate the switches.

I went with browns.

i thought the blues were the sensitive ones?

i touched the messed around with a few switches at best buy and think i liked red the best, however im not sure if best buy is best price i can get.

bestbuy price matches


Blues are more like typwriter switches, good for typing, harder to use for gaming

Red has no bump at all, And just go down easy & smooth

Brown is in between

+1 this red is terrible

actuation force is far too sensitive. i returned a red key mechanical keyboard last week actually, amazon refunded me the 79$ after I told them I didn't like it

I also prefer browns.
Red are to sensitive and need the tactical feedback when typing.
Blue are just simply to loud for my taste.
