For example Razer Stealth vs Red switch. It's the same? or which is better?

Razer is bad quality, but you can pour mountain dew gamer fuel tm over your razerkeyboard to fix it.

So what about quickfire tk red switch?

Those are Cherry MX Reds. Cherry, the company who designs the keys for most standard mechanical keyboards have really good build quality and generally last long.

First thing is Razer don´t make own switches, they buy them from Kailh ( Kaihua) and those are way cheaper, but the durabillity is also way lower because of low budget materials. The mechanical device and everything else ( color unification) is the same, just the materials and price is different.

Razer switches (kailh) aren't necessarily worse; apparently razer has top notch quality control for the manufacturing process.

but yeah, cherry switches are more established and proven, so you generally don't want spend too much monies on a kailh switch keyboard.

They're both good. It's just the way how people treat "copycats" in which we think that Kailh is bad just because they are related to Cherry in terms of shape etc.
Since Cherry has been out for long and have a very good reputation, you should be going for Cherry in all cases. Though if you're going for Kailh, there's no big deal for it.

If you want Kailhs though, I'd suggest a TTe Sports Poseidon Z. It's cheaper but has better build quality than Razer's keyboards.
