I've had Logitech gaming keyboards for ages (G510 now), but am now looking at the Corsair K70 — with either Cherry MX Red or Brown switches. I have no way to "demo" a mechanical keyboard at all, let alone compare specific switches; nowhere near me sells them so I'll have to pick one online.
Now I know, I know, mechanical keyboards will NOT feel like my Logitech dome keyboards. I get that. I'm anxious to try and benefit from the new feel of one. But my issue is I work between home and an office, and do quite a bit of typing and web design work, as well as some gaming at home (FPS mainly). So when I jump from 8 hours at the office one day to working from home the next, I don't want a keyboard that feels 1,000% different and takes "getting used to" every other day. I know I'll get a nice, new, different, better feel with the K70, but have also read that certain switches just feel too weird for some people to adjust to... i.e. if you're used to a membrane keyboard then some switches feel bad for typing.
So between Red (linear, lighter, smoother) and Brown (tactile) switches, which will provide me the more overall traditional feel so my brain doesn't break when I use it?
