Corsair K70 RGB with blue switches? Please help me choose

[hoyamons]

            I am looking for a blue switch keyboard, Corsair's keyboards feels very sturdy, only that it is with red switches, I feel very disappointed because I only enjoy the blue switch feel. Went on their website to check and found myself disappointed again, they no longer make k70 rgb with blue switches.

 

           now I have 2 choices, go with the razer blackwidow chroma, which has a clicky feeling, but uses kailh switches, or I can suck it up and go with reds, or even browns, an option i never thought of the first place. So, what are some benefits of red/brown switches? Please convince me so I don't have to regret instantly. Plus, if you are a owner of the chroma, what are your thoughts on it?

 

Thank you!

Go with the browns, they are like the blue ones but not that clicky.

I use blues, and I'd recommend waiting for ASUS's upcoming RGB keyboard that looks awesome. Luke made a video about it: (I own a Razer Tournament Edition that has Cherry switches) It's basically better than the k70RGB in every way. https://youtu.be/R03fER5dnNk?t=2m32s

Just wanted to weigh in. I did some research and it turns out that the reason that the Cherry MX Blue RGB switches were discontinued for the Corsair RGB lineup was because the led light caused very frequent malfunctions with the clicky mechanism in the key switch. Basically, Cherry couldn't actually manage, despite how good they are at making mechanical switches, to make enough of the Blue RGB switches that actually worked and didn't malfunction, and even then, apparently almost every single RGB keyboard with Blues had at least one key where the clickiness of the key was "broken" and you wouldn't get a noise when you pressed on that key.

I have keyboards with both switches and they feel nothing similar.

Ducky's Shine 3/4 are good options my friend.

It's been discontinued, but I prefer Browns for gaming and typing.
