I'm typing this with my blue switch keyboard... to be honest, I've tested all switches and I think blue switch is the best switch to type on as the tactile feedback is really helpful to recognise that you hit on that key. Aside from the loud clicking noise, blue required the less effort to type on, and this will help you if you are more to a typing person.

But personally I'll take the brown switch, because it is less noise as compared to blue(still will have come clicky noise because these are mechanical keys anyway) still provides some tactile feedback to your finger. I got Ducky Shine 2 mx brown for my daily typing and gaming..

IMO, Black is too tight to type on because it required more energy to hit the keys.(by testing only, I already felt fatigue on my hand..) I just don't like the black switch.. LOL

Red infact is a love and hate switches to me. I love the smooth action of the red, but when I try to type on it, it just make me like mistype a lot of words.. I not sure why, maybe is my typing style or I just suck at typing~

For my 1 month only mechanical keyboard experience, I'll suggest you either blue or brown for all rounded usage.

that will be depends on your budget..

Depends on your liking really. From what you state, brown switches would be the best for you, but it really depends on what you prefer, go ahead into stores and test those keyboards with different switches. Go to heavyarms store, and he will explain to you. I used to think brown/reds were best for gaming, but after trying all the switches, I thought I would dislike blue switches, but I found them to have the best feeling, gaming and typing wise. I definitely dislike black switches. I would recommend you getting brown switches keyboards, but would rather you walk into heavyarms shop and test out all the switches, if he is around, he'll explain everything to you.

RM400? Do you need numpad? Or you can settle with TKL?

This is a full sized keyboard which includes a numpad.

This is a TKL = Tenkeyless

Our kaiser bro also sells Race keyboards, which is like a TKL but without arrows, delete. Just a 60% or 75% keyboard, but has backlighting, for RM300+.

There is a tenkeyless design which is doesn't have numpad included; and a full size keyboard.
Tenkeyless
Fullsized
Do you want backlighting?

Do you want those mediakeys or gaming functions?
