Great quality keyboard, appears to be for blue switches only.

Should I get this or the same keyboard with red switches? It would mainly be used for typing.
Blue is best for typing.
Blues are noisy though. I dont want a headache at the end of every day.
Linears and clicky switches are different in both sound and feel, so if you really need a quiet board go for the reds. If you really need that somewhat tactile bump, go for the blues. Would personally go for the reds, if you were able to lube them then they'd feel quite decent but most boards from Logitech, Razer and HyperX won't allow you to do so without desoldering the switches.
It's subjective; some like the click, some don't, some people like a tactile bump and some like a smooth travel up and down with no bump. There's no 'best' switch for anything, just what you personally prefer.
Ye it is personal preference indeed. Just saying in general blue for typing has more accuracy.
I have this keyboard with reds and I love it, however I would not recommend it if your primary use is typing unless you have extremely accurate fingers as misclicks are very easy.
I'm finding the same problem with the reds. Too many errors. Better go with browns, it is only slightly louder. The reds themselves are loud with the bottom out and rebound sound.
Besides female colleagues with fake long nails produce the same sound as blues when typing. FTWYeah I'm generally not a fan of those super fast keyboards/switches due to how sensitive the keys are, even for gaming I was accidentally pressing buttons
Hence with this one I went with blue and requires 50g force instead of the 45g with the reds
The similar blue switches, full-sized keeb is also on sale for $99 link
