Key types

This is just kind of a mish mash post. 1st off, I have a Razer Blackwidow chroma with the Razer greens. I LOVE how the keys feel but my house mates and online buds don't really like the way it sounds like WWII when I'm typing. On that note I have been scouring the internet trying to find SOMETHING that felt like the Razer greens but doesn't sound like D-day while rage posting about my housemates bitching, and the best I've come up with is the Cherry MX Browns, on the K70 LUX specifically. Now I know what you all are gonna say "why don't you just go out and try them for yourself?" and to that I say, would if I could mate, but that's the benefit of living smack dab in the middle of bum fuck nowhere. Now that I've got that out of my system, lets here some thoughts.

ebay some dampener orings. made the browns on mine a fair bit quieter. Also helped finder fatigue since i bottom those fuckers out all the time. were about 2bucks I think.

Silent build - You know your pc is too loud when the deaf complain. Windows 98 gaming build, smells like beige

O-Rings wont help because of the way the Razer greens are made. Its not bottoming out that makes most of the noise.

The browns are like blues, but quiet. The razer clicky switches have a much higher actuation point compared to the blues/browns so they might feel quite different to the razer switches.

Please, write every post on this forum.

i5 6600k and GTX 1070 but I play 1600-900. 1440p BABY!

Still, don't put too much faith in my buying decisions. xD

If you like your current Razer keyboard but just want rid of the clickiness, you'd need to get a Razer keyboard with Razer Orange switches.

Green switches what you currently have, are tactile (you can feel the bump when the key presses) AND clicky. Orange switches are tactile but no click so are quieter.

 

It's the equivalent of Razer Green = Cherry MX Blue , and Razer Orange = Cherry MX Brown

 

You can buy the Blackwidow with Orange switches if you wanted to.

Evga GTX 1080 SC ACX | Ryzen 5600X | MSI Tomahawk B550 | 16GB Vengeance 3600MHz | EVGA 650P2 | HAF X | WD SN850X | Asus MG287Q 1440p 144Hz
