I'm curious about how the actuation force, tactile feedback, and click sound of mechanical keyboard switches affect different use cases. When choosing between linear, tactile, and clicky types, how do typing speed, gaming performance, and long-term comfort change? What factors should be considered when making a switch choice based on these elements? What are your experiences and opinions on this?
How does switch type selection in mechanical keyboards affect performance?

Linear switches (e.g., Red) are great for fast inputs in gaming since they have no tactile feedback and are easy to press. For longer typing sessions, tactile (e.g., Brown) or clicky switches (e.g., Blue) are often more comfortable for your fingers, but they can slightly slow down your input speed due to the noticeable actuation.
Do you already have a specific use case (e.g., office work, esports) in mind for this setup?
