The Ultimate Mechanical Keyboard Catalog

10/8/9 For gaming, it is great, not the best for typing, but it isn't too bad to get used to, you can misclick, but rarely.. Would recommend!

10/9/9 For advanced typists who don't make constant errors the lighter actuation allows one to type faster, for gaming it's ideal.

7/2/2 Red switch are so bad. I recommend to do not buy keyboard with red switch because they are so bad to typing and not awsome for gaming

8/5/5 Great switch, but too light for my banana hands.

8/7/7 Red switch is too sensitive compared to brown and blue. So I don't think it is good for typing, especially coding because you will easily make typos with it. But very good for gaming.

10/9/9 Really good for gaming. Fast for typing (Corsair strafe RED), really enjoyable.

10/6/8 a little to light for me. I hit random keys when trying to type but it is great for gaming

7/5/7 Good for gaming but not for typing. And sometimes you pres buttons when you rest your fingers on them

9/6/7 Very sloppy keystrokes where typing is concerned. Best for gaming, and a decent all-rounder, but not a fantastic feel for every-day use.

8/5/6 myself i prefer to have feedback and that is why i use blues but i can say when i used reds they were really good for gaming but to light to type on making me make to many typos to gain any speed.

10/7/8 Excellent for gaming due to linear nature. Double taps are so easy to execute and these switches do not cause finger fatigue. Reds are also good for typing, but I find that I make many more mistakes due to it not having any tactile feedback.

8/8/8 Sometimes you get 2 clicks because they're so light and don't know when they actuate (for me)

9/4/7 My impressions could be biased coming from MX Browns, but the loss of the tactile bump really affects typing, especially when I'm still trying not to bottom out on the MX Reds

9/7/7 Great for quick actions in games, but easy to actuate on accident if you are a heavy typist.

9/7/8 Good for gaming, ok for typing, decent for everything else

9/7/8 A great switch, is pretty good for typing despite what others may say, and it works beautifully for gaming.

9/7/8 Great Key Switch....

9/6/5 Keys are amazingly fast but they can sometimes be hard to hear especially when wearing headphones which makes typing a little harder.

8/7/9 I like the linear feel.

8/8/8 Really nice for longs hours of typing

8/4/5 Feels a bit... mushy.

9/5/7 pretty good, but too light for my hands.

1/1/1 the worst cherry keys imo; low force + linear = many gaming mishaps and typos

6/5/6 Its okay, easy to push a wrong button since its light and linear.

10/6/9 Steep typing learning curve, lack of actuation makes it difficult to avoid typos when first using the switch.

5/5/5 there is nothing speccial in this switch.

9/8/8 I Think Cherry MX Red is good but It got only 45 g force btw in first time I think it 50 g. But nvm It also good aswell.

10/10/10 best switches i recommend for counter-strike global offensive professional playing.

10/4/5 this switch isn't suitable for typing or daily use for me. for gaming purpose (rhytm game, action or fps games), this switch is the best among other!

8/10/9 i own a K95 Gen 3 with the mx cherry reds's and there grate however I haven't had any other mechanical keyboards buts its great all the same

9/7/8 Best switches for gaming, specially if you need to double tap or press keys fast. Not so good for typing, alot of typos but after you get used to them its fine.

8/7/7 nice gaming switch. feathering and double tapping is easy. no tactility makes it sometimes difficult to notice if you actuated the switch. typing is good, especially with o-rings.

7/7/7 Due to it's light actuation force and linear nature, it's easy to press keys, which makes it easier for gaming. Typing on it is a little tricky. It offers a new and unique experience for typists, no tactile or clicking feedback but still manageable.

10/10/10 better than all

10/6/8 Really nice and smooth feel, but I frequently hit other keys while typing because it is so easy to press. Best switches for gaming.

-/9/- Some people think they're too light, too smooth. I think they're divine, and FAST. If you don't rely on clicks or bumps to know you've pressed a key (e.g. you're looking at your screen?), this may be your dream switch.

4/1/2 Too light to even render many of the benefits of a mech. Poor QC as well.

9/5/6 These switches are only for people that don't care about tactile feedback and love to game all day. If you do anything else than game, these aren't very good imo.

7/6/6 Lacking tactility, these are not the best for typists. The linear experience is optimal for gaming, but Cherry lacks quality control with their red stems. The stems are far from smooth; think MX blacks, but made of sand.

9/8/9 I consider Cherry Reds to be fairly underrated. They have a very crisp feel.
