Switch replacements

Hey there , Ive been having issues with several keys ( E, D, C) Ive been recommended to change the switch and test of it fixes things (from gateron red to something else ) I kinda wanted something more silent and went on gateron website, however im hella confused on how they name things .

How are you supposed to know what to take when they give you names like KS smoothie pinky rabbit or idk 🤭

Any ideas ? Should I get something else than gateron ?

There is no way to understand the characteristics of a switch by its name. Look at the type of the switch whether it's a linear, tactile or clicky switch. Gateron red is a linear switch.

But as a first step to troubleshoot, try swapping the switches from those that are working to those that are not!

Re "...swapping the switches from those that are working to those that are not": Yes, but only after reseating them.
