I want to buy a good mechanical keyboard in BUDGET for GAMING.

so i started my research among them.. when i came to a choice of buying this below keyboard.
gygabyte k85- https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GK-FORCE-K85-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B01F9UEKN8/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474741985&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=gigabyte+k85+mechinal

bt then i saw the switches r KAILH RED Switches.. not MX-RED switches...

next MX-RED switch keyboard i found was way above my budget

CORSAIR Strafe Cherry RED :https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-STRAFE-Cherry-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B00ZUPOMDQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474742102&sr=8-1&keywords=Corsair+STRAFE+Cherry+MX+Red+Mechanical+Gaming+Keyboard

So i want to know is RED KAILH switches is really bad switches compering with MX-RED? Or they are good

I also did some research among those switches bt i only able to find the pic give below about them
i also able to know the CHERRY MX switches uses gold plated contacts and Kailh don't so what does this difference matter in performance of both key switches?

1| If you look at the both product links, they cost the same...
2| The difference in both the switch makers is that of quality. Cherry were the first to develop the switches and had held a patent for a long while until they lost the war. The designs were available to the masses and low quality Chinese knock offs came to be.
3| You're going to be better off with Cherry switched keyboards than that of a knock off, take it from me ;)

many gamer has a good feedback for the kailh switch,even though,cherry is the first mechanical keyswitch manufacturer ,but kailh also make some invention to creat their brand,like PG151101F BOX witch,PG1350 low profile switch,they also cooperate with famous brand PC manufacturers,so the quality can be guaranteed
