That’s all the same as the previous model though, so let’s cut to the new stuff: The RGB backlighting. I literally cannot type on this thing without bottoming out two-thirds of my strokes, even when I’m concentrating on it. As someone who types a lot though, I still think Razer’s switches are a pain to use. These keys combine some of the benefits of MX Blues and Blacks, producing that nice mechanical clickiness while still being good for games. If the latter, Razer’s Blackwidow line might not be a bad choice. It’s kind of up to you to decide what you think you’ll be using your keyboard for more-typing or gaming. With their heavy up-front resistance and high actuation point it’s easy to bottom out keys, and they’re just not as “fun” to type on as Blues. The side effect, however, is that Razer Greens are not very pleasant to type on.
This makes it easy to double-tap keys, which is good for games. Because of this, Razer’s Green switches move the actuation point closer to the key’s resting point.
