Anandtech didn't notice any significant difference

I cannot feel even a hint of a difference between Razer's Green switches and the Blue switches of my old keyboard.

They warranty it for the same amount of time that Corsair Warranties their more expensive CherryMX Blue K70, and they guarantee it for 10 million more presses.

Obviously they can't instill the same confidence as Cherry, that doesn't mean the quality will be worse; Razer's confidence in their switches should however instill confidence.

Still waiting for the Corsair RGB...

 

That is a nice deal though.

greens are too heavy for my liking.

These are Razer greens, which require similar force to CherryMX blues, not CherryMx Greens which take 80g of force.

I don't base my opinions solely off reviewers.

I have tried them myself, Kailhua's switches simply feel different and inconsistent in my honest opinion. They weren'f Razer's, but they are manufactured alongside theirs anyway -- no doubt about it.

But maybe I can give Razer the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah but I have felt cherry switches that feel different on different keyboards as well. The designing, materials and housing matter as much as the key switch for the over all feel of the typing experience. Now i'm not saying they will be the same but I'm sure they got as damn close as they could. :D
