So I just got a Razer Blackwidow Chroma and I was wondering, is there anything i should watch out for or be worried about with this keyboard?

Razer key switches.

Not in particular... I feel like their switches are a bit more stiff than the cherry and gateron counterparts. 

They are sourcing their switches from kailh, last time I checked, so quality definitely is an issue.

I used it at Best buy, the Cherry and Logitech switches felt allot better imo.

Well I had one on hand for about a month before I sold it to a friend since I preferred my TKL keyboard.

 

I swapped between the two and the switches and keys felt fine to me. People were also complaining about how the switches would wobble when pressed hard enough, but you have to deliberately press them hard to actually make them wobble. I doubt anyone actually types that heavily, and I'm a heavy typist.

To me they just felt cheap and mushy, it could've been the types themselves or I'm just used to browns and everything else feels cheap/ bad.

The keyboard I was swapping between was the K65 RGB (so with reds). I also have a broken keyboard with MX Blues in it and the feel of them and the Razer board felt similar. The sounds were completely different, but they felt identical.

I have the 2014 edition and I love it. I personally like it more stiff.
