so i was at a local store today and they had a blackwidow on display with the new razer keys, and i had a go messing around with it and i couldn't tell a difference at all between my current mx brows and them. so what have they changed? i know the only major difference is that its cheaper for them to make them but to me its pretty much the same as browns and reds

Specs

CPU: i5 4670k i won the silicon lottery Cooler: Corsair H100i w/ 2x Corsair SP120 quiet editions Mobo: ASUS Z97 SABERTOOTH MARK 1 Ram: Corsair Platnums 16gb (4x4gb) Storage: Samsun 840 evo 256gb and random hard drives GPU: EVGA acx 2.0 gtx 980 PSU: Corsair RM 850w Case: Fractal Arc Midi R2 windowed

Apparently the actuation point is higher on the switch so they can actuate faster, which supposedly makes them superior for gaming (=spamming).

probably just razer bs -_-

They're Khail switches, which I wouldn't get, they're just Cherry MX Chinese clones.

no way am i interested in getting it, just wondering if there was anything different with them after experiencing them they seemed to be the exact same as browns

They felt like membrane keyswitches to me. The really light press and the raised actuation point made them feel like membranes. They were also inconsistent. One switch would feel different than the other.

I had a tough time not bottoming out with with them.

 

The reason you probably didn't feel a difference was because, it was only raised a millimeter or so.

They probably wont last as long as cherry switches, even though they claim too. They arent as durable.
