Well it's my first mechanical keyboard so I can't really compare them to any other switches. But they feel nice. I think I'd prefer a little more resistance in blue switches though. I just heard they're really noisy so I got brown instead.

I also had the brown switches, but I did like the blues better. However those blues are way too loud man. Especially if you live in a studio appartment with your girlfriend.
I ended up with the reds, and quite like them. I do have to get used to the attenuation point because I still bottom out.

Niiiiiice! Damn, that's three 120hz monitors right? That means you could have 3 monitors going at 1080p / 120hz
Sounds awesome. And expensive. Both for the monitors and for enough GPU power to pull that off! hehe

Yeah I feel you. The people I live with say they don't mind, but I still feel bad clicking away in here. I'm happy with the CM Storm though....it's pretty, minimal, and functional and not $300 like some of those fancy boutique keyboards.

glorious mechanical keyboard master race. It's a CM Storm Quickfire Rapid with brown cherry MX switches ;)
Rockin' one with blue switches. I love it! My roommates, on the other hand, don't. Especially when I've procrastinated and end up typing a paper at 2am...

Built them myself, 3/4 thick hardwood cut to size, glued and screwed together then painted black. They do the job nicely!
