Go to solution Solved by STRMfrmXMN,

Should I just buy the K70 and change the backlighting to the Razer green and call it good?

I don't see why not. You won't regret buying that keyboard my friend. The Razer, however will probably crap out on your over a short period of time. This is not personal experience with the exact product but from what I've heard from negative reviews ("I'M ON MY 23RD RMA GOD DAMMIT") and although the Blackwidow isn't something I've ever seen die up front I have held a brand-new Deathadder in my hands at Best Buy and it died right as I took it out of the box.

 

Anyways, go for the Corsair.

I'm looking to buy a mechanical keyboard. Right now I'm torn between the Corsair K70 RGB Brown and the Razer Blackwidow Stealth but if there is a better or comparable keyboard please let me know. I read that the Razer branded switches are just nock offs of the Cherry MX switches. What's your thoughts, if possible please give me an unbiased/non-fanboy opinion on which one you would buy. Thank you.

Those are both perfectly fine mechanical keyboards. Id go with the Corsair, just because of the original Cherry switches.

You dont have to get the RGB too for the Corsair if you do decide to get it, IMO its cool but for me it is a waste of money.

I'd go with the Corsair one. It has actual Cherry MX Switches, unlike Razer's shitty quality chinese switches
