Are wireless mechanical keyboards good for gaming?

Yes — 2.4GHz wireless keyboards have 1ms latency, identical to wired. Bluetooth adds slight delay (5-15ms). Use the 2.4GHz dongle for gaming and Bluetooth for productivity.

What switch type should I get?

Linear (smooth) for gaming — fast actuation, no bump. Tactile (bump) for typing — feedback without clicking noise. Clicky (bump + click) for typing purists who do not share an office. When in doubt, start with tactile.
