Playing games feels quite

A classic universal switch, useful for gaming and can be used for typing once you get used to it. the only complaint i have is that its scratchy, a common issue with most cherry mx switches i use.

Good for people who like a smooth actions for both typing and gaming.

It is definite good at gaming, since it's basically just a piece of spring, but it seems not as good for typing, because i don't have the clicky "type writer" kind of feeling.

Very good switches for tapping fast

Ideal for fast paced games like shooters. Otherwise, this switches are not good for typing, I commit many mistakes with them.

Reds are extremely easy to actuate, far too easy for me. They're great for games that require fast and frequent keystrokes, but typing with them isn't good. Accidental keystrokes are common, and they feel like membrane keys with long keystrokes. I can't wait to get rid of them.

Reds are the smooth type of Cherry switch with no tactile bump, so they make for a smoother/quieter gaming experience compared with other Cherries, but it's still cheap-feeling. It's hard to explain until you've put your fingers on switches with bett

I have a Hyperx Alloy elite with reds, and its really good!

I have a hyperx alloy fps with red switches and i have got to say they are and feel really good. The only downside is that until you get used to them and where they actuate, you will be misclicking all over the place.
