Switch help

[ObeseWalrus]

Hello, I have been using my Logitech G110 for quite some years now, and I feel like It's time time for it to go. But I can't decide wether to buy a Blackwidow Ultimate 2013 or a Logitech G7010, so what's the difference between the brown and blue Cherry's? The reason that I wan't those keyboards is that they have the Nordic layout so i can write Danish.

Browns:

Tactile Bump

No Click

45g Actuation Force

Middle ground between gaming(reds) and typing(blues). Linus' favorite!

 

Blues:

Tactile

Clicky

50g Actuation Force

Best for typing, but some people like the for gaming.

I would suggest the logitech. Reason being that the browns seem to be a more natural transition from non-mechanical.

 

The clicky of blues can be a bit annoying if you aren't used to it.

 

Personally I'm a big fan of black switches because they are completely linear, very smooth to type and game on

I feel that you should buy the keyboard with better features if you feel that the 5g actuation force will not make quite a big difference, as well as what you feel looks better on your desk. The blues and the browns look identical to me, but I cannot really comment on this since I have only used blues and reds so far. To me, I think Logitech would be the better choice mostly because of

1) Their more advanced software [i have their G300 mouse, and setting up macros is actually really easy]

2) 12 programmable keys which are more than Razer's 5 keys

3) The Fx keys not being used as media keys! This is an essence for gaming which I think Razer has gotten wrong. The F1-f12 keys should not dual side as media keys but instead remain as only the F keys which they are meant to be which is really important while gaming [bF3 for example makes use of the F1-F5 keys for different seats in a vehicle]

Both keyboards have backlit keys, a one year warranty, USB pass throughs, as well as audio and mic jacks, although the Logitech keyboard has some cable managment features and a fairly big palm rest. The only bad thing about the Logitech G110 keyboard would be its plastic cable in comparison to Razers braided one. I hope this helps with your purchase! :)

Thanks for the help! I have decided to go with the Logitech because it's 300 kroner cheaper.
