Difference Between The Cherry MX Blue Switches And The Razer Green Switches?

ProdigyzMined

Anyone here used both and would be able to compare/point out any big differences? I'm between the Corsair k70 RGB and the Razer Blackwidow Ultimate Chroma. My current keyboard uses rubber dome switches, so i figure a mechanical switch would be a nice upgrade.

They feel like garbage and any other mechanical switch that isn't Cherry MX feels like garbage too.

There is nothing wrong with the Razer green switches, everyone says they are terrible just because they are made in china. They are in fact rip off blue switches with a slightly higher actuation point. I got myself a razer black widow tourny edition because it's an 80% with green switches and only $60. So far this keyboard is fantastic. I would say cherry mx reds are better but I couldn't find a board that comes even close to $60 dollars with them. Maybe I am just dumb.
