Logitech - G610 Orion Red

Mechanical keyboard noob here! I just bought a Keychron K10 and I'm weirded out by the Keychron Super Red switches. My first mechanical keyboard was a Logitech G610 with Cherry Reds, and it was noisy, springy and bouncy. The Super Reds on this Keychron is in comparison muted and very precise, for a lack of better words. And honestly, I somewhat preferred the more springy feel of the Cherry Reds in the Logitech keyboard and was a bit disappointed as I thought that "red is red" when it comes to these switches. I've had a Keychron K6 with Gateron Browns in the meantime for a few years, and this somehow feels more "related" to the Cherry Reds than these Super Red switches. Would a "blue" type of switch perhaps be a worthwhile upgrade? I like the precision of these Super Reds, but it's not engaging to type on when there's no feedback. The Cherry Reds were on the other hand fun to write on, but I missed the tactile feeling (Gateron Browns were simply a bit.. boring?).

I am not an expert, but you can have a look at /r/MechanicalKeyboards, they're pretty knowledgeable. The problem with Logitech, from what I've read online, are their in-house switches for the keys. Like I said, your mileage may vary, but there are plenty of posts of people whose keyboards started showing faults within 1-2 years. At that price point, that is not something I would want. I was looking into replacing my aging Logitech G610, one of the last keyboards from Logitech that didn't use their in-house switches, and found plenty of brands that are non-gamer like Logitech or Razer. Brands like Keychron, Ducky, Wooting. In the end I went for a cheap Chinese keyboard from some brand called Aula, surprisingly very good for a low cost. But it hasn't even been a year, so I can't speak for its longevity.

UPDATE: I went with Cherry MX browns. I know I like those the best out of everything I've tried. Hey all. I’m a big fan of Cherry MX switches, and I am thinking of getting a new keyboard. My first mechanical keyboard, a Logitech G610 Orion, had Cherry MX Browns, which I first used at home for gaming and then later took to work. I loved that keyboard as it wasn’t THAT loud but the tactile feel of the keys felt solid. When Covid hit and I worked from home, I bought myself a Logitech Orion Spectrum G910… and I promptly returned it as it was needlessly huge and I did not care for the aesthetics or the switches. Then I got a Logitech G815 with GL clicky switches. I loved the soft click but did not like the low profile keys and eventually they also developed bad wobble, so it too had to go. After that I went a completely different direction and got a Corsair K70 RGB TKL Champion Series with the Cherry MX Speed switches. I’ve liked Corsair keyboards ever since. This keyboard was AWESOME to game on, but I found it very difficult to type accurately on. I got a new 100% work from home job back at the end of 2023 and so I got a Corsair K95 Platinum XT with Cherry MX blue switches (this is my current keyboard). I love the build quality and feel of this keyboard. It is simply awesome for working, but after having it some time, I’m finding myself pretty overstimulated by the noise when gaming on it. It’s a shame because it really is the best keyboard I’ve ever had and will last a long time and the key press to me feel so solid and true. Now I am at a point where I am thinking of replacing it for something quieter (and my wife would probably be a lot happier too). I am considering the Corsair K70 Pro RGB with either Cherry MX browns or reds. I know I liked the browns for work and gaming, but also know that I loved the linear MX speeds for gaming but found them too sensitive for work. I’m not the best typist and do tend to type heavy and bottom out my keys. Should I stick to what I know and get browns to give me that tactile resistance I like for work? Or take a chance and go with reds? Are the reds like the MX speeds in that I will find them too sensitive for work? I will add that the entire time I went through different keyboards at home, my original Logitech G610 with browns continued to serve me well for years at work until I moved jobs.
