Last week I bought a Corsair k75 with Cherry MX red switches. It felt good typing, but I hated the feel in shooters while doing Shift+W+A/D strafing. It took more pressure than membrane to hold down keys, and I could constantly feel the spring pushing against me.
I exchanged it for an Azio MGK1 with Kailh Blue switches. According to tom's testing, these are very similar to Cherry MX blues.

The Azio is more comfortable to Shift+WASD than the Corsair, but it still requires a lot of pressure to keep key down. The travel on the keys seems extremely long vs membrane. Sure, in theory you can hold it partway down, but that is extremely uncomfortable to me.

Both switch types were a minor improvement for typing for me (I don't type particularly fast to begin with), but with gaming so far, I find them less comfortable than membrane.
Is there any switch type other than blue/reds that should make holding down Shift+WASD more easy? So far I don't see mechanical keyboards as worth the price for me.
