I think the frys near my house has some on display not sure though but I'll probably go today and check em out and that guise is really useful
That's really the best thing you can do. You could always get a switch tester, but try 'em out at your local store and put the $15 towards the actual keyboard.
I like the brown switches, but that's the only ones I've ever had a chance to try. I'd like to try the Cherry red switches eventually.
Don't use reds if you type a lot. I constantly double and triple tap my reds, but type perfectly on other boards. They are very sensitive. I'm going to move on to browns when the Ducky 5 comes out.
OK, don't use reds if you have big hands and heavy fingers like I do then
Brown is a good starting point. They are light and fast but still have the tactile feeling mechanicals are known for without being obnoxiously loud like blues. If for some reason you dont like the tactile feel then look at the reds and blacks and such.
blues are the best in my opinion, especially if you like the clicking sound.
G910 Logitech
Im lovin it
Only one I've seen at MicroCenter are the reds and I wasn't a fan of them.
From what I've seen, I think I'd like the blues but would definitely need to keep my current keyboard off to the side to use at night to keep the noise down.
Mechanical keyboard guide
The most common Cherry switches are red, blue, and brown, with each having a distinct feel and sound.
Do you have a local store that has mechanical keyboards on display? I suggest trying the different switches if possible.
My main rig is in the living room alongside my brothers computer and his gf I doubt they would like the clicking sound
When everyone says browns are a good start I can heavily agree.
I started with the Logitech G710+ with Brown Switches, and everything that comes with that keyboard for $110 and in some cases $90 its well worth the purchase.
Today I wish I would have gotten the Blues, but i'd been using membranes for several years, so switching to mechs over those was still a mile of change that I noticed within the first couple weeks.
I've never had issue typing with reds, many others haven't as well. The choice comes down to personal preference, you'll preform best on what feels best to you; the only switch type that has the possibility of hindering any activities is blues (or other click type Cherry design) with button spam gaming due to hysteresis.

I just ordered the G710+ the other day with the blues. I tried it in the store and loved it. You don't like the browns? Can always sell it.
I can't recommend Corsair boards. Had 2 Vengeance K70 fail on me in less than 6 months. Both were the gunmetal aluminum frame version that was the best looking keyboard I've ever seen. Sadly, that model had a lot of problems. I think it was discontinued.Hmmm, what do you recommend then the corsair? I like blues
