Hey guys,

 

I bought the Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2014. I have the Razer Green switches (not orange/stealth switches). I love the feel of the switches, but I want to use the Corsair K70. Which Cherry MX switch most closely resembles the feel of Razer Green switches?

Cherry mx blues. You will love the k70. I returned my blackwidow and got a k70 and have never looked back.

Should Cherry MX Blues be good for gaming?

It depends on the person. I love them and find double tapping really easy. Some will disagree. I also find I am a much faster typist with mx blues over any other switch.

It really depends on the user, some have no issue with Blues for gaming, others (a very, VERY small minority) complain of the double tapping issue. On my part, I've had no issue gaming with Blues, and I play fast FPS like UT3, Serious Sam TFE, TSE and Serious Sam BFE w/o issue. Then again, I've never had problem gaming with all the boards I have which have MX Red/Black/Blue/Brown/Green/Clear/White, as well as Topre and a buckling spring Model M.

 

BTW, never buy Razer's 2014 edition keyboards, they have cheap Razer spec'ed Kailh switch which Razer sells for the same, or higher price than the 2013 edition keyboards which have the better Cherry MX switches.
