Alright guys so I am looking for a new keyboard and mouse for my gaming desktop. The current ones that I have are worn and my mouse is a bit broken. I already know which mouse I want but I do not know what I want for a keyboard. The main problem I am facing is that I do not know what the switches are like the brown, cherry, blue, and red. I am an active PC gamer that types a lot for school work and a like to have a little click to my keys, I want to feel my buttons being pushed on the keyboard. If someone could explain the different switches for me that'd be great.

What I would do, if you like clicky keys is go for MX Blue's. they are epic and my personal favorite. I use Cherry MX Blue keys on the CM Storm Quickfire TK keyboard, and i love it. I game on it everyday and find it very easy. But I wanted the clicky tactile feeling of the keys being actuated. So that is my recommendation to you.
