money is tight its better to try as many switches as humanly possible and not to rush. Though truth be told if your on a limited budget... and you can only get switches locally pretty much.. your options are pretty slim.. Its going to be MX Cherry's Reds, Browns, Blues.. are clones in the same colors for most mainstream boards. I mean if you order off Amazon your options can become a bit brighter but not by much. There your looking at Blacks, Greens, Clears, etc.. but cost goes up. I was in your shoes and money was a real factor I save till February.. save up as much as I could try to buy a board at the event. What I have seen people sale boards at Meetups and there good chance you can not only find something you like but find something custom you like... thats higher quality then the mainstream's for cheaper then you pay overall.
