I have absolutely no clue what switch to get, but I can tell you guys what I use my computer for primarily and this should help you advise me. I wish I had the capital to just buy n keyboards with y switches and test them all, but most likely I'll only be able to purchase one.
In terms of percentages:
Programming - 80%
Writing - Will become alot more prevalent in the future (5%), probably up to 30-35%
Gaming - 15%
Switch Preference
Of course, no one likes a loud keyboard and I'm no exception, but I can type softly as long as I'm not forced to bottom out like this terrible membrane keyboard I'm using. I hear good thing's about all switches really and If it comes down to noise or joy of use, I'll pick joy of use, so I won't immediately reject the 'clicky' blues.
Aesthetics
I absolutely adore the look of the microsoft sidewinder X4 and I would probably buy it if it was mechanical. Other than that, I don't really care for aesthetics, as long as the keyboard isn't shockingly 'bling'. Backlights are a real nice bonus too.
Budget
£130 (Honestly, spending more than £100 on a keyboard is a foreign concept to me, even though I readily spend the 'extra bit' and reject being a cheapskate for inferior products)
