So i currently have a razer black widow ultimate gaming mechanical keyboard.  And when i wish to change my keyboard i would like to know what the closest switch to razer green switches is.  I googled it and i hear "roughly equivilent to blue" but when i look at that the actuation point is .4mm off from a brown.  Has anyone made this transition or does anyone know the best switch that would feel like these? because honestly i love the way these feel

 

Thank you in advance!

You'll either be typing lighter with Greens or heavier with Blues. Up to you. Difference either way will be marginal.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Razer greens are afaik "fake MX blues" i have MX blues in a razer blackwidow and that's probably as close as you are going to get.

MX Browns are mx blues but without the clicky sound, so if you want quiet switches, get browns, if you like the clicky sound, get blues.

Actuation point can be a bit different, but the overall feel is the same with both.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

Yes that's indeed very nice, but after 2-3 years of MX blues, i'm considering going to browns, i mean i will feel the click anyway and it's starting to annoy me at random moments for no reason...
