I'm looking to buy a new keyboard because my Razer Blackwidow is really starting to get on my nerves. The A or D key keeps getting stuck due to Razers crappy Razer Green switch that they use in their mechanical keyboards and it's really starting me to screw me over in games so I'm looking at going with Logitech peripherals. Mainly the G810 and G610 Brown and Red keyboards. I want to go with Logitech because I love the brand and my mouse is Logitech which I absolutely love more than any other mouse I have ever used. I just don't know which switch is better... I want something that feels a little more like the Razer Green switch and can handle me bottoming out all the time because I can't help but do that. Especially in driving games, in my head pressing down as hard as I can to turn makes me feel like I'm turning more. lol. I also want it to just have a nice click and be really smooth, which I want to emphasize because I've heard the Romer-G switch can be slightly mushy. The only reason I'm even considering the G810 anyway is because of the RGB lighting and some people actually like the Romer-G switch. So please help me with any feedback you may have to this situation.

The MX Blue from Cherry sounds good for you. They're my personal favourite.

Though if you're able to go to a store and try some that would be a good idea too.

MX Blue. Clicky fun fun.

Logitech doesn't have clicky fun fun on any of their keyboards except the 710 which is so hideous it ruins the clicky fun fun :( but I should have added it to the poll.... *sigh*

 

Added the Blue to poll

Yeah it is the perfect switch honestly from everything I've read, I just really want to go with a Logitech Keyboard and the only one they offer is 710 which is hideous and obnoxiously big, something I really don't like.

Well, Logitech doesn't do another keyboard with Blues (other than the G710 I mean) so if you're set on Logitech you could go for the Orion Brown with MX Browns or if you can go with something that isn't Logitech I can recommend the CM Storm QuickFire Ultimate (I'm using it right now) or the Corsair K70.

I have a 2014 Blackwidow Chroma Ultimate or whatever order of words that goes in.

Ok well what i would suggest is get the 2016 edition razer blackwidow because they are more up to date and you can do all kinds of effects on the keyboard or you could go with the razer blackwidow x chroma "the latest RGB chroma keyboard by razer" and it feels very similar to the cherry mx blues and it also has the clicky feel to it, and it is also rated for up to 80 million key presses where as cherry mx are only rated up to 50, also i would prefer razer because there key switches have more in stock and cherry mx key supply is starting to run low.

I really like my blue switches even they are kailh, i enjoy the clicking sound when i type. But, the catch is that i can hear them as i almost have music or youtube playing into my ears all the time, too bad for me, i will only have the chance to listen to them if i'm really serious when doing reports or whatnot, otherwise i can't imagine them as anything more than browns

I haven't really tried a lot. My first and only mech keyboard was a set of reds, merely because I was told they were the least offensive. Coming from one of those logitech office keyboards I did actually find the reds very offensive to listen to at first. But I got over it fairly quickly.
