A light, linear keyswitch that is nice for typing and great for gamers looking for something lighter than Cherry Blacks. Cherry MX Red’s linear feel combined with minimal spring force produces fast response times and smooth operation.

It's a good switch for gaming, but that's about it. Not a good experience when typing up a document. If you really cared about gaming though, you'd want a low latency, high polling rate keyboard with Cherry MX reds. If you're used to typing on keyboards like the IBM Model M, Cherry MX red is WAY too mushy even for gaming.
