Red, Blue or Brown keyboard switches?
I was thinking of getting blue for that satisfying sound although some say it gets annoying fast. What are your thoughts?

IMO, It gets addicting.

When one learns to type, it becomes important feedback and doing what you gotta do should sound like "whadda bap bap bap bap..."

Many that don't like it are hunt-and-packers. That's the hidden part. They can't type.

To survive in the modern world, one should type at a minimum of 40WPM. Once one gets good at it, one could easily double that.

I have blue switches.
It does get annoying, well, was at first when I got it, but, tbh, I'm a trained musician, so I can literally just tune out the sound, which I often do. It's just white noise background to me.

I have to have some kind of a mechanical keyboard though, is the thing.
Because 17 years of bass guitar, made my fingers a little too strong for og membrane types of keyboards. Result is that I'd accidentally jam keys or pop them out by striking harder than I realized I was when typing.

While the feature for an "extra button" that's available in the (brown? I think? correct me if I'm wrong) is a nice feature, someone with my finger strength, is just probably never going to be able to pull that off.

Hell, one year I went to see my parents for Thanksgiving.
I was cutting the turkey with brand new kitchen shears.
I clipped part of my finger with the shears because I was admittedly kinda drunk when doing this and the shears bent AROUND my fingers callouses and broke.
My finger was totally fine. I had to get new shears on the fly though.
But yeah, true story, that really did in fact happen to me.

Personally I really like my Clears.
They're kind of like Browns but feel better IMO.

Blues are really nice too but they are loud. I don't think they get annoying, but if you have roommates or coworkers listening to them they'll probably get pretty annoyed by them.

Never tried reds, but I know "Silent Reds" are one of the most quiet switches.

Most will find that any mechanical keyboard is better than a cheap mush board.

I personally, want to customize into green switches. Basically, blue, but stiffer. I like my keys stiff and loud for warp speed typing.
If I can hear your typing from the other side of the house your keyboard sucks. my keyboard sounds pretty average click wise. Not silent but not obnoxiously loud.

I guess it's whatever is in your taste, I assume they also feel a little different as well.
My razor black widow v2 has green switches and they are great not to loud and not to quiet.
