Blackwidow X Chroma or the TE (Tournament Edition) ??

Go to solution Solved by Frode,

Razer's switches has improved over the past year. For example the keystroke raiting is totally crushing the cherry mx raiting with 80 million keystrokes vs 50 million keystrokes. Having said that i still don't can't fully recommend it because off the fact that the manufacturing process is still not a match against german manufacturing. 

But i feel that you should always make the decision yourself. So if you wanna go for a Blackwidow x chroma go for it. But i would rather recommend keyboards from Corsair, like the k70 rgb like their new Rapidfire keyboard with the new cherry mx speed keyswitch. Either Corsair or keyboards from Ducky shine. They are really premium.

Please ask me something so that i can answer and reach a conclusion :).

Razer use cheaper rebranded switche now (they used to use Cherry MX but moved away from them). Grab a K70 or any other Cherry keyboard
