Razer and I don't have a good history when it comes to the durability of their products, I would stick to cherry MX because they've been in the business for so long.

First Build:| Gigabyte 990FXa-UD3 | FX 8120 4.0Ghz | Coolermaster Seidon 240M | Asus Radeon HD 7870 | Kingston HyperX 3k 120GB SSD + WD Green 2TB HDD | Corsair RM750 | 8Gb Kingston HyperX 1866Mhz CL9| Fractal Define R4 White/Windowed |

I'll be sticking with German made cherry switches. Also now that the Patton is up you will see many look alike copies.  I'm currently using a razer keyboard with cherry mx blues that works well however i'm not a fan of the plastic design.

I don't know how I feel about this the actuation point sounds like with the green is like a blue with with less click (dare I say with o-ring actuation point).  And the Orange switch has tactile feedback but has a switch that resembles a black or red.

RAZER commissioned Kailh to OEM switches for them. Reduces manufacturing costs while selling at the same price point = more money in their pockets to advertise "gaming" keyboards.

Rather use German Cherry MX switches than some "Razer-gamer-1337-switches" TBH..

I've got nothing against Razer and I use their mice but when you're paying these prices for a mechanical I'd expect the very best in materials and components. I'll be sticking with the original :)
