A lot of people are comparing the switches but I think that shouldn't be the main focus. I had no problem using the red Kailh switches compared the Cherry. The biggest issue was the quality of the board itself. After months of use it began to show problems that other people were also experiencing. Randoms keys would begin to register multiple inputs with each press making it nearly unusable. After I found out there is no way I could replace the keyboard via Warranty I would definitely reconsider before buying this keyboard.
