If you start using a linear switch such as cherry mx reds or blacks then be ready for the longest learning curve. It's worth it, though. I only use my filco reds now and sold off all my other keyboards.

I've never used reds or blacks myself, only blues and browns. Is there really a long learning curve for switching from tactile to linear?

It depends how patient you are because they are lighter (red switches0, but as previous post before you, it is worth it. I prefer reds over blues. I still like the click of blues but typing doesn't feel smooth as reds.

I've owned all switch types for a little bit. Always went back to the blues. Yeah they're loud and aren't as easy to double tap, but they're just nicer for me I think. My second favorite is the browns and I might go back to a brown switch board one day. I've also used reds and while I really did enjoy them, I see no real reason to choose them over browns when browns will give you the slight bump to know when the switch actuated. Its not a large bump like the blues, but it does help. I can see Blacks being good for some, but i can't recommend them over reds for anyone who likes linear switches.

What the price difference?

I think the Ducky should be a better choice but if the razer is decently cheaper then it might be worth it.

The ducky also has the advantage of a range of switch choices.

Also the Ducky has a numpad, so whether you need a numpad or not should affect your choice.

Thanks for your inputs. I'd really love to put down some money for a red switch keyboard, but alas like any mechanical keyboard fanatic would know, your wallet gets empty real fast haha. I miss my brown switches, but it's back at my house with my little brother.

10kro is more than enough, how would you even press more than 10 keys at the same time?

Ducky is better choice imo just because it should be abit better quality, unless you really want a tkl.

So the F9 and F10 keys don't click but still work otherwise? Do they feel different from the other keys?

I don't think that is normal, afaik that keyboard is all blue switches so should click on every key.

I'd go exchange that keyboard immediately.

Could you simply pull the keycap and check if it's an actual mx blue switch under there?

There's not much difference to hear in the videos, but if you say there's no click, it's faulty. They could have made a mistake when greasing the switches or something. If you bought it in person, just bring it back to the shop as you'll get another immediately, I assume.

Yeah you can probably get it replaced, but you could try taking the F9 cap off (lift the cap directly upward, I usually use floss) and mashing the switch, blowing it out with compressed air.

Mashing would be just pushing the switch up and down rapidly.

Razer quality isn't the greatest, try swap for a ducky or keep trying with replacements.
