What's the difference between Blue and Red?

I used a QPAD MK50 red for some time but it recently started to go out, so a couple of days ago I replaced it with a corsair K65 which is really nice and I like it but I really miss having a numpad!

I was looking at the OcUK website and I saw the CM Storm Quickfire TK but it seems impossible to get it in a red switch but easy to get in a blue switch.

I guess it's kind of hard to explain but how much difference is their from a red switch to a blue switch?

I'll be using the keyboard for gaming/typing, will blue switches be nice for this?

blue clicks other than that they are the same

So I shouldn't feel to much difference?

very little the blue might give you a slight bump when pressed but the weight is the same

Sounds good!

Anyone here used the CM Storm Quickfire TK? What are your thoughts?

I can up my budget to £90 if needed.

Cheers

Take a look at the browns as well.

Same weight of key as the other 2 but doesnt have the loud click the blues do

Give this a read.

I've taken a look around, read some stuff and watched some videos, seems that you'd only chose the blue switches if you like the sound of the clicking?

Anyone here use blue switches?
