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!

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

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.

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

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