What is a Cherry MX red?
2082905
it is the type of mechanical key that the keyboard has installed...there are several types (colors) of key switches and each have characteristics that are different. You choose a type by what you prefer for tactile feel and function. Search up "mechanical key types" and you will get several responses with information about each.

I bought it a while ago and from this one I got the mx blues. I do not know if it has changed but the ones I am using from when I got this from a few months ago is mx blues. "Razer Black widow Ultimate 2013 Elite Mechanical Gaming Keyboard" is what is says under product description. I am going to say they are MX blues but not 100% sure. 2013 are mx blues anyways. Hope this has helped you.

Because it uses Cherry keys you may be able to get them anywhere that sells mechanical keyboards which use Cherry keys. Immediately I can recommend http://www.wasdkeyboards.com having done business with them. I presume Xarmor isn't a choice for some reason? If you decide to change brands I can heartily recommend the WASD brand. I am using it now and I honestly think it the best keyboard I've ever used. The Xrmor isn't too far behind.

The linear feel model uses the cherry red keys and will be quieter. This version uses cherry brown and has a small click mid way through the stroke. I prefer the cherry brown keys for the tactile feedback it gives. You can see more on Kinesis' main site here: http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/advantage-lf-features.htm

More deep than bright. I'd say cherry rather than a primary red. Leans cool rather than orange. Hope this helps!

The color is "antiqued black" and "cherry" The cherry is the desktop surface, the antiqued black is everything else. It only comes in this one color.

DSI produces/produced left-handed models using all three switches you mentioned but has done a poor job of distinguishing them from each other. The product description here says Red switches are used, but if you look carefully, you can probably find one using Black or Blue switches elsewhere.

As far as I know they are cherry browns. You can check out the specs on a ton of websites. Been using it for awhile now and it is awesome.

Yeah the old ones were cherry mx blues, if you can find the older model i highly recommend them. Had one for forever and it's still working. Been about 2-3 years now.

These keyboards display one color. They are available with blue backlight or red.

I'm sorry I can't answer that question. The red had the features I was looking for.

Depends on your office environment and the switches you use. If you get the Cherry MX Red or Brown switches, they are fine, even without the o-ring mod (putting o-ring on the stem of the keycap - just Google 'o-ring mod'). Blues are clicky, that together with the sound made when you bottom out is obvious if you work in a very quiet environment. The Cherry MX Red or Brown switch and do the o-ring mod should definitely be quiet enough for office use.

No, there is a difference between the backlight and the switch. The backlight is the actual LED which you see under the keycap. The switch is what you feel when you press down the keycap, and in this case, it is the Cherry MX Blue switch. This keyboard varies in different switches, although the backlight will always remain red. If you want a color like blue, green, white, or something else, you could look into some other Cooler Master keyboards, or another brand such as Logitech or Ducky.

I do not know, but I would seriously look at other keyboards. This keyboard is absolutely horrible.

I would call it more of a deep red. Something in between a cherry and burgundy.

I use it for Dota, Minecraft, TF2 just fine. I've never used a game my keyboard, so I wouldn't be aware of the advantages. You can buy cherry keycard from a number of sellers if you wanted textured WASD or QWER

It is a dark rich brown, hardly any red in it. I think cherry has more red in it. I am very happy with the color and sturdiness of the table.
