So I went to best buy to check out the keyboards on display to see which switches I would like. To my surprise, I actually really liked how the Blackwidow Chroma switches felt. I hated the Cosair k65 cherry mx reds for some reason. I thought I would like those but they just seem so normal. Like if I'm spending that much I want to clearly tell the difference. Anyways, they didn't have a G710+ out so I asked if I could try one out and to no surprise of my own I was denied. So I basically have two questions. If I liked the Blackwidow switches would the G710+ be a good pick as well? and. Is there any place that I could go to try out other mech keyboards (mainly the G710+)?

 

NOTE: I am also taking into consideration that I already have the Deathadder 2013 mouse and I would like have my keyboard match. This does give a pretty big advantage to the Blackwidow. However, I am still seriously considering other boards since I could just sell the mouse and buy one to go with the new keyboard. I know its stupid but I either have OCD or I'm not alone....

If the blackwidow had razer green switches then it would be like a logitech g710 (non +), but if it had razer orange switches then it would be like the g710+. You can tell which in that the razer green/cherry mx blue switches have an audible click, but the razer oranges/mx browns have an inaudible click.

I would go for the g710+ because of the brown switches are a bit quieter but still has that satisfying click. You can however get the razor stealth which in the end becomes a decision of design. If i did not buy my corsair k95 i would have gotten the g710+ without hesitation. Not sure if theres a frys electronics near you or best buy, but those places usually have them on shelf to be tested.

You could try something like Microcenter or Frys
