Are good switches for gaming but for typing are bad because it fast reaction time, it would become in lots of missclicks

I use my red mechanical switch based Das Keyboard for work. No one really complains about the sound, and the typing feels great-- way better than brown.

My first mech came with these. They are a bit scratchy - it's true, there is some wobble and they are sharp sounding.

This Key is ok. Nothing special but as a stock switch for most keyboards alongside Cherry Blue its an ok switch. It has some rattle and its not very smooth. but its better then some other switches have tried

Great quality, can survive for more than 3 years. Hopefully the durability will persist.

Can be challenging to adjust to, especially for typing, but once used to them they are amazing all around.
