Razer keyboards

[Choxx]

I was looking around clicky keyboards which sound hreat to me and I came up razers blackwidow but the question is are the razer mechanical keys on the 2014 version better then the cherry mx blues on the 2013 and I would also like to know which one is brighter

Do you have a budget? if not i wouldn't go for a Razer Blackwidow.

Nope. BW uses cheaper chinese switches which are inferior to Cherry MX

Neither is definitively better. Peripherals are a matter of preference.

In terms of build quality, both are high enough that it more or less doesn't matter. 

 

Moved to Peripherals.

Depends... CherryMX is better though someone is selling a BlackWidow in the classifieds as we speak.

Personally I rather have CherryMX though my one friend for example who owns a Ducky Shine 3 w/ blues likes his BlackWidow better though my one friend hates the fact that he got a BlackWidow. I'd go to local shop and try out keyboards

The blackwidow is not horrible quality. It is like GTX 960 vs R 9 380, neither is bad one is just better 9/10 times. Though as WoodenMaker stated it is a matter of preference

I like the clicky sound I guess both have that but idk if cherry mx keys have better quality then the razers so I was hoping for an answer over here

I just like the feel of Blackwidows Switches, others like Cherry MX, I wen't to my local computer store. Tested out the keyboard switch tester and didn't really like the feel of them, but me personally I like Razer's Switches.

Blackwidow is meh at best. It's not bad by any means, though there are better products for the price.

The switches are inferior probably in terms of quality. But the feel is completely different. I like my Blackwidow but it's not the best for the money. Strafe is better

I am not sure which is louder, but the colors are of the same illumination.

The Quality in terms of longevity are probably equal. The Razer Green(kailh made switches) are a bit different feeling and have the tendency to be a bit inconsistent feeling from switch to switch. I'm not sure how to describe it necessarily but they have kind of a cheaper spring feel as well over the cherry blues. I find that to be true with both kailh and greetech switches.
