Does the Razer Chroma feels weird to you ?

Hello, I am using a Logitech G710+ with Cherry Mx Browns, they feel really good. I tried out my friend's Razer Blackwidow Ultimate with what I think is the Kayle equivalent of Cherry Mx Blues, they felt even better (probably because I like the sound so much, I still wouldn't trade keyboards tough). Then I tried my friend's Razer Blackwidow Chroma (don't know if it's the stealth version, probably isn't) and they keys felt so heavy and unsatisfying ! It was amazingly brutally inferior to what I am used to.

 

I want to know if anyone tried it, if it also feels weird to you. 

 

Simple curiosity.

The Blackwidow Ultimate may have Cherry switches on them. you can pull a keycap off and check the switch.

 

If the Chroma was the stealth version, it wouldn't make a clicky sound.

 

EDIT: I have a K65 RGB and a Blackwidow Chroma. The Blackwidow's switches are the Razer Greens (MX Blue counterpart) and they feel fine.

Maybe it's the shorter travel distance.
