Cherry mx clicky switches12/29/2023 ![]() The problem then is once again that you cannot really experiment with these switches since you can only find them in Razer keyboards, and you would have to spend a lot of time desoldering and soldering the switches since Razer has no hot swap keyboards. This feature makes the Orange switch a little bit more desirable, especially when thinking of mods like lubing and filming. What gives the Razer Orange switch the edge, in this case, is that it is also silent compared to its Brown counterpart. When comparing Razer Orange vs Cherry Brown switches you instantly notice that both of them are tactile switches which makes them a bit quieter and more subdued than a Green/Blue switch while also retaining a fun typing experience. The Razer Orange mechanical switches are a lot more interesting to us than the Green ones because these offer something different from its direct competitor – the Cherry MX Brown switches. Everyone has their preferences and if ruptured eardrums from constant clicking and clacking are your thing then the Razer Green switches just like the Cherry MX Blue switches, will do just fine. Does that mean that these switches cannot be used by other gamers? Of course not. Would we ever use Razer Green switches? Probably not. To hear how the Green switch sounds you can head to the official Razer page and click on the Listen button. The Razer Green switch is tactile and clicky with an actuation force of 50G. The similarities make sense since when comparing the traditional Razer switches vs Cherry mechanical switches, you can clearly see that the Razer switches were modeled after the basic Cherry lineup, but with touches here and there. Obviously, this can also be interpreted as a complete turn-off since A LOT of people hate the Blue Cherry switches for their obnoxious sound/pinging and extremely loud click. On a more positive note we can confirm that when comparing the Razer Green vs Cherry MX Blue switches, the differences are minimal. It is just that you might as well invest the time and money into a switch that actually is worth it. We are not saying that the Razer mechanical switches are absolutely awful since you can lube/film and apply other mods that can improve the experience by a lot. Add on the fact that the Razer switches are not necessarily exceptional and you can kind of see the general conclusion of this article. This makes recommending Razer mechanical switches very hard since you are not only paying for the switches but for an entire keyboard. ![]() Moreover, unlike Cherry MX keyboard switches which can be found practically everywhere, to even experience the Razer mechanical switches, you have to buy an entire Razer keyboard. There are plenty of other awesome options for super nice mechanical keyboard switches that you should research. Before we even start our comparison it is important to note that neither the Razer switches nor the Cherry MX switches are considered good in the enthusiast community.
