Blue switches would probably be the closest to buckling spring like the the model m, although nothing beats the real deal. The tactility is similar enough in that you have to press the keys down all the way for it to click and register. When typing on blue switches, it sounds more like *click click click*
Brown switches are pretty much the midpoint in which the amount of force needed to input and register is variable, making it ideal for things like rhythm games where you're hitting a whole bunch of keys consecutively and all varying in registration. At the same time, typing is generally okay, although doesn't feel as nice as blue switches. When typing on brown switches, it sounds more like *clock clock clock*
Red switches are all around versatile for typical gaming input, although the tactility for typing is shit in comparison to blue and brown switches.
Black switches are shit because the keys are way too stiff, making it counter productive for typing and gaming.
I don't know much about White switches since I don't have any hands-on experience with them.
Green switches (lol Razer) are shit. Basically Razer was like "fuck y'all, we're going to take the blue switch and make a slight mod to it and pass it off as our own branded switches." You're better off settling with Blue switches given the choice.
The DAS Keyboard 4 is a pretty standard, run-of-the-mill mechanical keyboard. Other I guess fairly common mechanical keyboards you can grab are:
CM Storm Quickfire series.
Ducky Shine series.
Rosewill RK-9000.

Some others worth mentioning, that are on the higher priced end of the spectrum I can think of off the top of my head are:
There's a fuckload of obscure keyboards but generally they're not excellent or reliable builds unless you want to experiment with them. But ultimately, switches are switches.

Q-Pad MK Series. (This is probably one of the best mechanical keyboard builds I've ever had the opportunity of trying)
Happy Hacking Keyboard. (Not ideal for any kind of gaming due to latency issues, but it's sexy for typing)
Rabbit KBT Race Series.
