The switch force can be missleading. It's 45g to activate, and usually 65-70g to stay bottomed out. I replaced the springs in my Cherry MX Silent Reds with 50g bottoming out springs, otherwise it felt like too much force required for WASD to stay pressed down. Now it's just enough to not lift up my finger when bottomed out and firm enough to not press down by accident when resting.

How do those switches compare to a Cherry MX Red, both in performance and sound, because I am using cherry mx silent red and they are not very silent..

The keyboard housing is a huge factor as well. I lubed my silent reds, including the springs so the pingy noise is gone. As well as the rubbering dampeners so they no longer stick to the top housing when idle. Not my keyboard, but pretty much what it sounds like. [youtube=iV-VzFbSLQg]

I'm surprised the images dont do justice to the keyboards RGB capability, one its main selling points. No single image shows the full range of colours and none of the whole keyboard were taken in the dark. Full keyboard views are only white/blue or white/red. At first I thought it was a keyboard that can only display 2 colours at a time! (ie has white only LEDs too) in case thats useful for future reviews 🙂
