If you're unsure of the switches you want, I would recommend grabbing a switch tester[1]. They don't give the exact experience of typing, but they are very useful if you have no frame of reference for what the different switches actually feel like. I know buying one gave me the confidence to take the plunge into a full mechanical keyboard.
