10/8/9 Best gaming switch. Especially for any kind of FPS gaming. Typing can be somewhat of a challenge at first, but once you get used to it, it is awesome and not noisy like the clicky blues and greens. 7/7/7 i think gateron red and kailh red better than this. 10/10/10 Red master race cause i have one with limit money. T T 8/6/7 meh, nothing special, good at gaming but easy to missclick/misstype 9/3/4 even rubber domes are better for typing 8/6/7 They feel alright for a while, but after a while, they begin to feel stiff and hard to use. 10/9/10 It is really good and really fast for typing and great for gaming I am using one as i type this. Universaly great for everryone this is good in both ANSI and ISO. 9/5/6 A poor choice for typing, like most linear switches, but quite workable for gaming. Much better feeling than MX Black. 3/3/3 Way too light to actually feel anything causing unintentional keypresses all over the place 6/5/7 por muy cómodo que sea el cherry red llevo anos usándolo y a mi gusto para el gaming es muy sensible y puedes pasar a presionar la tecla equivocada, y te puede costar mucho, para el typing se puede ser algo cómodo no es pesado pero te equivocas. 7/6/5 Personally I'm not a fan. I tend to type unwanted character when used MX Reds. 9/5/7 Not recommended for typing. Good for gaming if you want a light switch. 9/7/8 Good for gaming, doesnt give you cramps on a long gaming session, easy to press, specially for spamming on RTS and MOBA game. Not quite good on typing because you cant feel the actuation if it is press down already. 10/9/9 best switches previously had cherry mx blues got the corsiar STRAFE and i love it!!! would deffinatly recomend this switch type 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. | ||||
