I bought the CMstorm quickfire stealth with Cherry MX greens about a month ago. I absolutely love it. Cherry MX greens are basically Cherry MX blue switch (tactile clicky) with a Cherry MX black spring. The result is stiffer keys. My first board had Cherry MX blues and over time I wanted something just a tad more stiff.

If this is your first mechanical keyboard, I suggest you go for a blue switches instead. If you have typed on a type writer a long time ago or used an IBM then I would say go with the green. The reason for this is because the green switches might just be too stiff for someone new to mechanical keyboards. The comparison of blues and greens are like reds and blacks, but are tactile and clicky instead of linear.

I currently own a 6g2v with black switches. I'm most likely going for a ducky shine with brown switches but green ones caught my interest
Thanks for the info though

I forgot to mention the click noise is much more hollow sounding for green switches.

I'm currently considering buying either a CM storm quickfire rapid or a filco majestouch 2 but I don't know if the increase of 70€ is worth it

Its not. But be aware the quickfire rapid does not have a numpad.

Just checking
Filco does make great keyboards, but they aren't worth the significant price premium.

Very good, but the Shine 3 is out or out very soon. So either get a 2 a little cheaper or wait for the 3.

3 has more lighting modes, a spacebar that can be any colour and maybe some other features I forgot.
