Cherry MX Brown vs MX speed

[saalimssf]

Hi, i am looking to buy a keyboard. I was wondering whether mx brown or speed would be better for me.
i am not a very serious gamer (as i mainly play MInecraft) but i want a mechanical keyboard, and that too, something that dosent make all that much noise. I am also wondering what the difference is between the Corsair K65 and K70 in case i can save a little bit. I also want 100% authentic cherry switches as well.

Things I noticed:
Blue --> tactile, best for typing
Brown --> somewhere in the middle
Red --> responsive, best for gaming
Speed --> red on steroid
If you do not know what to get, an all-rounder like the brown would be the best pick.

K65 ad K70 ? K65 is tenkeyless (no numpad), K70 is the fullfledge keyboard.

So my question is, is speed tactile? because like i said, i want a quiet keyboard and i found a good deal on a keyboard with speed that was cheaper than the one i found for brown.

Speed is not that tactile even a bit less tactile than red but still far more tactile than usual rubber dome keyboards.
I personally do not really like red already but the decision (Speed is worse for me), I was considering only either brown or blue.
However, which switch type to pick is 100% according to one's habit, need and taste.

I have the Corsair K95 with Speed switches and I really dislike it and am planning to return it for a K95 with Browns. The Speed switches feel okay but they activate very easily causing me activate the key next to the one I'm typing most of the time.

Now, you said "quite".
Mechanical keyboards are in general louder than rubber dome especially those tactile ones.
You can buy extra rubber to make them more silent tho', if the loudness troubles you a lot.
The sound of my mx brown does not disturb me at all

I'm still having trouble deciding. Can someone simply suggest a mechanical keyboard to me? I want something that is:
Not very loud, but tactile
Comfortable to type on
All suggestions are welcome, Thanks in advance.

G Skill KM570 or Either Corsair Strafe or K70. Depends on your budget and whether you care for RGB.

1.
If it is loud or not, it is more not depending on the keyboard brand.
It is more the switch type, which determines the loudness. That extra tactile comes also with an extra click sound.
The less tactile the switch is, the more silent it will be.

2.
Loudness is relative and how loud is loud differs from person to person.

3.
Loudness comes also on how hard you hit the keys. Everyone is typing differently.

4.
Even if those blue switches is too loud, you can always buy extra rubber to make it quite.

If you do not really know which one to get, I would pick any keyboards with the brown type.
It is like mentioned before, it is the well rounded.

You can find keyboard with brown switch on many brands. I am using QPad MK80 pro (brown version), since I found it quite dirt cheap.
You can pick your Corsair K70 brown, if you like.
