Alright so I'm planning on ordering the corsair k95 platinum. There are two options. Cherry MX speed and cherry mx brown. Currently I have a corsair k70 and it has the brown switch. I like them a lot. I am a big gamer and do some typing for school papers, bust mostly gaming. Including fps games like battlefield. I also play gta. The point is i have never have had a cherry mx speed switch before or even a cherry mx red. Only brown and blue. I don't know what to get this time around. I know reds are the best for gaming and the speed switches are basically reds with a lower actuation. So which one should I buy based on me being a gamer. I definitely don't want to hit a key by accident when playing due to the lower force needed from the speed. Anyway any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
 


My first keyboard was the k70 rgb with mx red, I loved it was fast and amazing. Soon after The k70 rgb rapidfire with cherry mx speed released so I returned it and ought speed. It was faster and I could strafe better however it felt heavier and didn't feel as good. I don't know how to explain but it just wasn't right for me, I wanted to go back to red. I returned it and bought the k70 lux mx brown which I did like but I wish I could go back to red. Blue was the first switch I tried and I hated the feeling. Brown is such a good switch if I went back to red I would probably prefer brown. What was your first switch and what ones have you felt? Do you game or type more? It is much better for gaming but I disliked speed because I type a lot. It is much faster than red and I could go back to it. You should go to a store and try red beforehand. It didn't feel bad just slightly heavier as I was used to the lightness of mx red. If you're used to mx brown and blue you would be fine with speed.
 


Since you did not reply to my post all I can say is go to a store and try out reds.
