I've gone from Cherry blacks to BS to blues to browns to reds... mainly typing, less gaming these days. My entirely subjective and non-scientific findings are that reds are the ones I like typing on most, blacks for games. Blues are more an occasional thing for me now, I ended up disliking the action compared to linear but am not sure why, as I liked typing on BS as well and only sold my IBM boards for space reasons. As for browns, with apologies to the fans, I couldn't warm to them. They just felt... mushy, in a way. I prefer the cleaner tactiles.
As for caps, I don't know how much it is psychological, but I feel like there is a difference in use between stock thin ones like Filco come with, or the SP stuff, and good thick caps like vintage Cherry etc. Somehow the thicker caps feel more stable. How much this is quantifiable and how much made up I have no idea. Ha!
