Why are you switching from your Razer Blackwidow? Could be helpful to know when selecting a new keyboard for you.

And what kind of switches would you like to have? MX Reds are fairly popular with gamers, but I like browns for example more.

I wouldn't switch the keyboard if the one you have is still fine.


But if you still want to switch, I can recommend you the Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro series of keyboards. They come in different sizes, with and without RGB LEDs and are quite affordable. Build quality is also good.

 

With the switches I can't really help you. You would have to try the out, but generally a lot of people like brown switches. They are a bit more quiet than most and are great for typing.

Your current keyboard should use Razer's copy of tactile Cherrys.

Those have initial feel/resistance in upper part of travel, before going down to actuation point.

So you likely don't want very light linear switches like MX Reds.

Those have only little feel/resistance before key has already gone down to actuation point.

That could cause accidental key presses from resting fingers on keys, or then trying to avoid that causing stress/reducing focus. (which is bad for performance in games)

 

Do you have any specific wishes you would want from new keyboard?

Like less noisy?

I guess RGB backlight is wanted...

 

And I would recommend getting one with dedicated volume control dial/knob/roll.

(no clumsy second function marketing BS)

Volume control on keyboard is simply never far from fingers, making it best location.
