Compared To Other Keyboard Switches

Cherry MX Red

Cherry MX Red are linear switches that actuate smoothly throughout their entire keypress. On the other hand, Razer Green Gen 3 are heavier clicky switches with shorter pre-travel, but they're noticeably less smooth from the factory. Both switches offer similar latency performance.

Cherry MX Blue

Cherry MX Blue and Razer Green Gen 3 are clicky switches with click jacket designs, making a loud and signature clicky sound on the downstroke. The Razer's feel a bit smoother out of the box, and they have a clear housing that allows for better RGB illumination.

Cherry MX Brown

Cherry MX Brown switches are tactile and have a small bump to overcome during actuation. On the other hand, the Razer Green Gen 3 switches are clicky switches. They're noticeably heavier-feeling and loud, making a signature click sound on the downstroke. Both switches offer the same level of latency performance.
