My girlfriend has watched/seen me play so much SC2 I wouldn't say she hates it, she's actually pretty good at undestanding the game and knows like 95% of the units in the game so props to her xD
Dude I've always wanted to try Green switches :O

There is one thing I cannot comprehend -- and that is why virtually all keyboards have the gap between Esc and the F-keys. Since the area is so easily accessible, it's just upsetting to me.
For that reason, with full seriousness, I'm using Apple Magic Keyboard. My hand is small and F1-5 keys for locations are much easier to press compared to gaming keyboards.
This can of course be solved by playing more in the middle of the keyboard (or core), but somehow I never got used to it.
Also it is very flat, which imo makes it easier to be faster -- i.e I can do 120/600 words/keystrokes per minute when writing, which I cannot do using normal keyboards.

I think it's to prevent accidental misclicks on Escape when you intend to press F1. Interestingly, the gap varies between keyboards. On mine it's about one key wide, when on my old keyboard it was around 2 keylengths wide.

^ Yeah, on the Razer it's rather wide which took some time getting used to.
I actually had an interesting experience with mechanical keyboards although I now support them 100% for gaming and especially SC2. I bought a Razer Blackwidow Chroma last year and started using it but hated every bit of the experience. In the end I ended up switching back to my membrane dome switches Logitech K800 Wireless Keyboard. But a month ago, I tried my Razer Blackwidow again and somehow I'm in love. I type faster on it and it's just so much better. After spending my whole life on membrane switches I guess I needed a bit of adjustment time. But I really wouldn't suggest people to force themselves to adjust to a mechanical keyboard, just set it aside if you feel it isn't right then come back to it later. But I can say mechanical keyboards are 100% better guaranteed.

I don't understand. I thought every razer mechanical keyboards since 2014 were made with green switches.
Mine has been made in 2014 and it is green switches (blackwidow TE US layout)
I think green and blue are pretty identical, just green switch is a "razer thing"

Rocking an IBM Model M. Can't ever fall out of love with this. Thanks for the video, I liked your other stuff too.

green switches are different from blues in more than just colour.
There's two kinds of green switches that can be commonly found on the market:
Cherry MX green
RazerTM green switch
RazerTM green switches are unique to razer and ARE NOT THE SAME AS CHERRY MX GREEN. They are cheaply manufactured by Kailh. The quality is as a result arguably lower. They are a lot like blues, except they are lighter to press. Cherry MX green, are much like blues except they are much heavier to press.

@Punders you are phenomenal and I appreciate your support.
@FFGenerations. That write thing sucks. You might want to consider taking a pair of tube socks and cutting the ankle part up so you can custom make your own sleeves to prevent the cutting on your wrist.
@beelz Green switches are cool, They didn’t really feel like their own unique switch. It almost felt like a stealth blue switch without the click mechanism in the switches. Maybe they are different per keyboard though.
@Supah, thanks man I appreciate you a ton for watching. I would have included the model M on my video but because it is so close to the dell Quiet-key I didn’t want to extend the time of the video. In all honestly the original shooting of the video was 30 minutes long. I had to cut time in a lot of places to be as concise as I could. Model M is good though, can’t go wrong.
@MperorM1 Thanks for the insight man, we got some really experienced guys on this forum I appreciate it a ton. Great education for gamers/keyboard lovers.

Nice ! Thanks a lot for the information.
I thought green switches were only manufactured by Razer, and only kind of green switch. I have never heard something about cherry MX green.
Here in France, we have a pretty poorly choice of mechanical keyboard (and kind of switch). The fact we use a specific layout doesn't help.

The Cherry MX green is not specially common. I know CM Storm quickfire has a version with green switches. Can't recall any other 'gamer' keyboard that has mx green. When people say green, they mostly refer to razerTM green  I have the same problem here in Denmark.

I tested out every Switch and alot of Brands Tenkeyless one and only! ALso still can't decide if i like MX Reds or Browns on my Leopolds more haha
|
Yea they can be a tough choice Prime, Thing about reds is that even though they feel good, alot of times the keycaps are flimzy and poorly constructed. You can feel that after 1 year or something they'll break if you have high APM. Thats a stretch but that's the feeling I get when I use them. Very loose compared to others.

@PinoKotsBeer that's crazy you can mix your switches on that keyboard? Seems like it would feel super weird.
I mixed them myself, desolderd brown switches and replaced them with Blue's. It feels very comfortable for me.

I just recently picked up a long overdue steelseries 6gv2 (nostalgia.. back in the days.. EG... IdrA.. you name it) and ofc, being my first ever mechanical keyboard (apart from hacking on those things back in the 90s as a toddler) it straight up is a pleasure to play with and type on. lovin' it, no regrets!

@Primelot Yea that makes total sense. The O Rings do help. Leopolds are nice as well.
