I modded my Logitech G710+ to have Cherry green switches instead of browns. Very happy with the result.

No. Had to desolder 110 brown switches and 110 leds and resolder 110 green switches and 110 leds. Every switch color has a different mechanical actuation.

Pretty awesome job, I've never used Browns or greens  only reds.

I highly recommend. Though they do take getting used to especially if you get a cherry red or brown keyboard.

I make wayy too many typos with reds and browns were still too light for my liking.

If you're typing a lot, have you tried Blues? What's the difference between Blues and Greens? I'm not super familiar with all the Cherry switch differences

They are similar but greens need more pressure to fully press they key, which I prefer.

Interesting, maybe I'll look into those switches more  . Sorry if you said it already in this thread, but what exactly do you do mostly on PC? Are you a writer who types a lot, or do you do some gaming here and there? Forum browser? Frequent redditor?

I'm an IT admin who types a lot. Even at home. Forums crawler, redditor, things of that nature. I do a lot of gaming but nothing that needs quick responses, just RPG or stealthy games. On reds and browns I mis-typed way too often but i really enjoyed the look of the g710+. it was also cheaper to just replace the switches.

nice  yeah, you don't seem to have a new for anything like Speeds or Reds. I'm unsure if I even want to get a new keyboard, I had a mech a while back but unfortunately it was broken beyond repair so I resorted back to the only membrane Razer keyboard I bought a LONG time ago for really cheap. Maybe this Christmas I'll pick up something new  just not sure which one yet
