The orange seems like a hybrid between a red and blue which could prove to be a really good keyboard if you don't know why you want a mechanical keyboard also I highly doubt that this keyboard will be silent, mechanical switches are loud I don't see why this will be any different. Also why is the average life span 50million on one table and 20million on the other, typo or made up numbers?

Overall this just seems like a huge marketing ploy by razer and it saddens me that it's probably going to work. Personally I bought my CM Storm Quickfire TK for gaming, it was marketed as a gaming keyboard and the switches were ideal for use in a game, i first heard of the keyboard watching people play a game and was recommended it by gamers. To me this sounds like red switches may aswell have been designed for gaming because that's mostly what they're used for. Just seems like another "for gamers by gamers" gimmick.

how the heck does any mouse break after 2 weeks

I'm pretty sure if I threw my mouse against a wall every day it would be fine after 2 weeks

Anyways, aren't the new switches tactile? ew

It's a Razer product, of course it's going to win a popularity contest. Fact remains that the quality and performance is terrible on blackwidows, RELATIVE TO OTHER MECHANICAL BOARDS. If you've never tried a good board, of course you'll think a blackwidow is good.

Razer mice seem to be fine, I rarely see anything about them breaking. Keyboards tend to break a lot though.

No clue about razer's other stuff though.

headsets, mice and mousepads are probably the only things that razer can make decently

man all this hate against razer

waiting for someone to actually prove that this 0.3mm actuation point difference improves gaming performance by 9000 million fucktons

I just can't stand the cheap feel when clicking with razer mice. Also.. who the hell uses headsets? They combine a shitty mic with absurdly bad sound quality for way too much money. They also look ridiculous, yes i'm looking at all those riced >muh razer gear products. Mousepads are fine.

God they even inscribed the Razer on the switches, as if that would make anyone feel better
I don't hate them, it's the obvious 60 million keystrokes marketing fraud that pisses everyone off

here sum images taken from everywhere

you can see the kailh logo on the switch body



yeah pro MLG players will definitely notice this

apparently they're partnered with kailh, a chinese company that sells cheaper switches (someone linked an imgur/geekhack thingy on page 2/3, should check that out)

other marketing bs: recolouring switches to bright gamer razer green and orange to reel in the fanboys and labeling them as THE FIRST EVA GAMER SWITCH XD XD. 60m keystroke as mentioned, 0.3mm actuation difference = pro-er gamer swag undefeatedness etc, the over-exaggerated claims by this guy
