Blues and Brown switches.

If you prefer a tactile mechanical keyboard yes, they will be satisfying and they feel the same. Most people who type a lot like the blues because the sound helps get them into a rhythm with the keys. But everyone is different and some typists hate tactile keys at all and opt for linear MX Blacks.

I use browns at home on my keyboard, I'm a gamer but a terrible typist so I always bottom out the keys regardless of the bump when typing. The bump is actually quite subtle (to me at least with my heavy fingers), but the general feeling of a mechanical keyboard is great.

Will the switches feel "mushy" at all? I've seen a video on YouTube that said that Cherry MX Browns are "mushy", is that true?

Mushy? No. Unlike a membrane keyboard that has a hard break at the top of the key and a (somewhat) linear transition underneath a MX Brown will have a smooth linear transition at the top until the point of actuation when you feel a tiny bump. Honestly, had I never known anything about switches before buying it I probably wouldn't have even thought anything of it, it's really not very noticeable unless you're looking for it. After the bump and actuation if you keep the pressure on the key it will make a smooth linear transition and bottom out on the frame.

At first when playing I would begin strafing randomly in games and it would take me a few seconds to realize that my index finger was pressing too hard on the "D" key while in the resting gaming position. I hadn't even felt it depress and actuate. Although that doesn't happen anymore now that I'm used to it.
