Newegg's house brand is offering four different keyboards, one
equipped with each of the Cherry MX keyswitches:

I found it an interesting read.

"Of the four models we sampled, the RK-9000BR with brown Cherry MX
switches is our favorite. None of the switch types are perfect, but
the browns do the best job of balancing accuracy and ease of
repetition, which makes them great for gaming. Also, the fact that the
browns feature a tactile bump without an overly shrill click makes
them, in our opinion, superior to the blues for typing. The blues are
just unpleasantly loud, and the gritty feel of their tactile bump=97plus
the dead zone between the actuation and release points=97can make them
uncomfortable."

I beg to differ: as previously mentioned, I switched one of my two
Kinesis Advantage keyboards from brown to blue keyswitches, and much
prefer the blues.  But it's all a matter of personal taste.  Without a
doubt, the blues are noisier!
