Mechanical Keyboard Decision

[Desert_Storm_]

I am am deciding between 3 keyboards 

the corsair k70 RGB Red switches 

the Razer Black Widow Ultimate 2014

and the logitech g710 + 

 

plz help all i know i that i like the feeling of the razer switches and i like the feel of the browns aswell on the Logitech g710 + aswell as my freind recommends the reds so i really am torn

I'm a huge fan of my black widow ultimate, and my two pals rolling with the chroma just make me jealous. 

 

None of us can straight up tell you which is better, it's all about preference, if you can, go to a tech store and try them out in person. 

 

In short, the Razer has the best lighting hands down, as well as software.

The corsair has the most reliable body.

the G710+ looks the best IMO

 

With keyboards, its absolutely crucial that you test what keys you want. I thought cherry mx blues were my favorites for a long time. But then, Razer green keys snatched me up. Instant new favorites.

The switches should be the final deciding factor so find a way to test each switch before you make your decision. In my opinion the RGB keyboards are still a bit pricy for what they do (at least in my country), but if I had an unlimited budget, it would be really hard deciding between the G710+ and a K70 RGB with MX Browns. The rubber rings in the logitech are really nice and it looks very good but I really, REALLY like the look of the Corsair.

 

I dunno... I would probably still go with the Logitech. At least I hope so as I bought one a few months back

All 3 of those keyboard have different switches in them, and many would say that the Razer switches are of lower quality.

 

It looks like the G710+ can come in MX Brown or Blue, the K70 RGB has Reds and the Razer has blue-equivelant keys.

 

I personally went for the brown switches and am pretty darn happy with them. I would not want them any mushier (the Reds will feel "mushier") and i woudlnt be able to tolerate the noise of the blues.

I own a K70 RGB Red Switches and tbh I don't have any complaints about it. As for the key switches its personal preference some people like blue, brown etc etc as for myself I prefer reds.

I would take the K70 RGB. I have it and I really like it, first keyboard.

I wouldn't agree with Razer Synapse being the best software, I actually think it's the pretty bad in terms of actually working & doing it's job.

 

I've read that browns are a mixture between gaming/typing & I decided to get the G710+ it's been awesome ever since.

I can understand that. Corsair has made some great strides around with their software end of things as of late, but the mass consensus is still that razer is packing the easier to use, better optimized software.

 

The only thing wrong with it, is that it's latest update doesnt seem to want to work with OBS, with one of the hookins causing games to crash when you try to stream.

The Corsair software also only allows 512 colors per key which conflicts with their claim of providing 16.8 million colors per key.

You say that Razer(Kailh) Greens swept you away from the Cherry MX Blues?

 

I do remember that I tried out a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate in a BestBuy that had greens and I fell in love with it.  I ordered a Ducky Shine Legend with MX Blues as a result because I have heard bad things about Razer products in general, and the green color just doesn't match my setup.  Are the Razer Greens that much different from the Blues?

Not all that different, but since im a heavy gamer the razer keys just seem, more responsive. They have a slightly higher actuation point meaning that you don't have to bring it 1/2 way down the peg for it to register a key stroke unlike blues. All in all, i still like blues the best of the cherry keys, but do prefer the razer keys if anything, just for gaming.

 

Edit and if green aint yo thing, get a chroma. They match prices often of the equivalent RGB from corsair, and have hands down the best lighting you can get on a mechanical keyboard to date. That's the one thing razer has gotten like perfect,
