Anyone use them? I'm thinking about getting one, primarily for gaming but also because I understand that they're pleasant to type on.

I've been reading about the various Cherry switches and I think I'm probably looking for Brown (tactile response, no enhanced audible response). I'm afraid that the Blues would be too noisy for the people around me (wife/kids) and I think I'd rather have the tactile bump than the smooth alternatives (Black and Red). I haven't actually felt any of these.

Any recommendations or warnings? This is the keyboard I'm currently considering, but it's pretty pricey so I'm a little hesitant to jump in without much knowledge:
