In all seriousness! I guess I would need to try one, but the difference is so minimal that it probably isn't worth switching from the cherry boards. I quite enjoy the travel in my Black Widow Ultimate.

It's not something intended to benefit 'typing' on the keyboard, but rather more for gaming. It's supposed to make playing by 'feel' easier.

I use a steelseries 6gv2. It has cherry mx blacks which I think are by far the best for gaming. Those and of course cherry mx greens. They don't have a clicky actuation point but a rather nice instantaneous key present once even the slightest force is used. That being said they do require a bit more force to press all the way down. Cherry mx reds are good to if you would like use less force but benefit from the same actuation style of the black and greens.

I have to say due to my love for blacks I was a little disappointed in razors first showing but it's all about personal preference at the end of the day. They did a good job with converting the blue to a more gamer friendly key though I have to say.

I like it because it's orange. No idea what cherry mx means.

Cherry mx make mechanical key switches. Depending on color code they have different attributes to choose from depending on preference.

I rather like my CM Storm Quickfire TK with Cherry MX Reds. Love typing on it so much, I'm debating buying myself a Cherry MX Red keyboard without the fancy backlighting for work.
