Razer Switch Comparison: Green vs Orange vs Yellow 

All the tests 2:09 Green 2:44 Orange 3:30 Yellow thank me l8r

Is it just me or is the yellow switch louder than the orange?

2:10 Green Switches (Typing) 2:45 Orange Switches (Typing) 3:30 Yellow Switches (Typing) 4:23 Red Silent Switches (Typing) 5:15 Silver Speed Cherry Switches vs the Razer Yellow Switches (Typing)

The hardest thing about these sound comparisons is that most of the time you’re just hearing the key bottom out rather than the switch itself.

I just love the razed click noise

I watch these videos even though I know I can't afford it

is it just me or were the orange switches actually more quiet than the yellow ones that were supposed to be the most silent?

I be watching this Oct 2020 cuz it’s 70 bucks on prime day

When I first felt the Razer Blackwidow Chroma green switches, it was love at first sight. I might try yellow or speed switches but I love the clicky feeling of the greens. Thanks for the comparision!

I'm not seasoned when it comes to mechanical keyswitches but I went to try a bunch of different keyswitches and the Razer Greens felt the best by far. I loved the bump.

I want raised keys like the Blackwidow X Chroma or the Huntman Elite, but there are no raised key keyboard with silent keys. What the hell, Razer?

People who talk shit about razer haven't even tried them :/

I love the clicky greens only

The best switch is... Nintendo Switch

I have to admit I have not seen your channel before but this is probably one of the better reviews I have seen. Keep it up man. You got a new subscriber in me

Well at least all three of them are made by Greetech instead of Kailh.

I love the sound of the yellows but I feel like getting used to that fast actuation would be kinda tough

I feel like things like the razer yellow and gateron clear keyswitches or even cherry brown would be much quieter with those little O ring damper things, so I am interested in how the switches would feel different with them.

Just recently picked up the Black Widow Chroma V2 Tournament Edition as my first mechanical keyboard and oh boy am I lovin it. I have the green switch version and it so satisfying to use.

The yellow switches are amazing. I recently switched from my 10 year old brown switch keyboard, which I really loved but unfortunately it broke down. I use my keyboard mainly for typing - programming, writing blogs etc and for gaming sometimes. The keyboard is really silent and it just feels amazing. It took me a couple of weeks to get used to it as I was misstyping a lot, but now I cannot go back - the tactile bump on my brown switch keyboard just feels wrong and not needed. Also the review is really bad for measuring the switch sound, because 90% of the sound comes from the key cap hitting the chassis and not the actual switch. There are rubber rings that you can place down under the key caps and make the keyboard as silent as you want.

I Love the green Switches!

This is such a great review. Thank you!

After watching this video, I got the yellow Blackwidow Elite.... ITS AMAZING!!! Its my first mechanical switch, and i love it so much. Thank you so much for making this video. It helped a lot.

The question I have where can I buy the replacement for the mechanical switch if one (or more switch) on my keyboard is broken or disfunction??

where did you get this switch test device ?

i love satisfying keybourd clicks man

I had the mx silent switches first on a corsair keyboard but they felt and sounded really awkward to the point where I had to return it, especially in that price category. Now I have the razer orange switches and they are perfect.

Where can i buy that tester?

Orange is still my fav because i like the tactile feedback, but my wife and kids dont like the sound lol

I like Razer green switch. I love that typing sound so much!

Recommend trying Razer Blackwidow Chroma V2 with Orange Switches, it is very satisfying

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I'm looking into buying my first mechanical keyboard and felt like I was in over my head. I've decided on the Razer Blackwidow Chroma V2. When I looked at the choice of green, orange or yellow switches, I had an Office Space flashback and all I could say was, "Green, orange or yellow switches?! What the fuck does that mean?!" Seriously, this video was extremely helpful. You have earned a new subscriber. If anyone is curious, I've decided to go with the yellow switches. I think that will be the best transition from my old Razer Lycosa keyboard.

Yellow is definitely my go-to... I have become so use to typing on chiclet keyboards that I can no longer stand to use membrane/mechanical keys that requires long travel. The Yellows provide the best 'feel' between a mechanical and a chiclet keyboard, and don't have the annoying 'click' associated with the blues/greens. Orange is just weird to me, as are the Cherry browns...

The actuation point of the yellows may be low, but you don't know that you pressed it, so you have to bottom out, which increases the distance a lot and makes it louder than the orange switches.

Yellow sounds so good. I was planning on buying a razer BW v2 but didn’t know which key to get, but now I know. Thanks ;)

i love clicky and i have a green key switch for my keyboard i have a Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2017 Edition and i feel extremely satisfied while typing and i recommend buying a green key switch keyboard.

ive got black widow X chroma green switches are nuts ))))

Keeping ESC no keycap very easy to know which switch are using. Distinctive idea and also a lot of helpful.

Hey I have a quick question, your feedback would really help me a lot on my purchase. I’m looking at getting a black widow chroma V2. I like the idea that the yellow switches are linear but I’m worried that if I’m typing it’s going to push the keys to quickly for me. I really like the orange and the green. The green I actually like the most hands down but my wife thinks it will be too loud haha. What would your recommendation be for the type of razor switch that I get? Green (tactile clicks and loud, I would have to get o rings for less sound but I’ve heard it barely makes a difference) Or would you go with the orange ? I felt like it has absolutely no type of feedback or click like the green switch. I know the actuation point is lower but it seems like it’s almost hollow. Or the yellow, I’ve heard this is the best for FPS but makes typing almost impossible. I’m wanting to play overwatch and pubg and a few other FPS games. Based on that what would b your reccomendation? I sure wish the orange switch was the same click as the green just without the high pitch sounds. Any help would be great Lee appreciated, and you’ve definitely earned yourself a subscriber. Also I got the Logitech g900 mouse so I was kind of thinking to switch it to a death adder elite or chroma, but I’m really loving this mouse. I’ll probably get the razerkeyboard mouse rgb pad and headphones so it will match besides the mouse. Is it stupid to get two types of brands? I know that you need to run to software to run them both at the same time. Also if anyone can help me sync my Logitech mouse with my keyboard that would b awesome. This is my first build and I’m trying to get my motherboard my NZXT pump my keyboard and my mouse pad (chroma v2, g900) to all light up. If there is a way to link up the mouse with the keyboard and everything else just let me know.

How do you get the switch tester?

I like the clicky sound of the green switches.

I wanted the corsair keyboard they had locally with brown switches... loved the keys but the board was 200 bucks! I went with the razer v2 with orange... it felt the closest to the brown... in your video you seem to have confirmed that. I am pleased with the razer keyboard... and I do prefer these keys over my old greens on the 2014 black widow!

It helped me a lot and I went for yellow thank you

Timestamps: 2:10 - Green Switches 2:43 - Orange Switches 3:28 - Yellow Switches So it's easier for you to compare them.. if that makes any sense. :D

I love the razer green switches using them to type this :-)

Very informative. Thank you for the video.

I've been looking for this video for a while now, thanks a lot! Sub'd

"corsair switches" wtf are u talking about

Honestly, with all the low effort content coming out, Im glad RU-vid still has creators like this

Thank you for this video. This is what i needed to choose one.

Nice video of the comparisons. Thanks for the work. I prefer to go with the classical one of Razer green switch. Thanks.

I find it hard to believe Razer when they say their switches last longer than cherry.

I like the green switch the most!

Orange switches are amazing! I took a'lot of time to figure out what switch i wanted and i have to tell you using the green switch for 2 years, and then going to the Orange switch made me realize what i have been missing out on.

love your reviews.. Clean, Crisp and legit!

Bro that is one serious hang nail (2:09 left hand, middle finger)

I got the razer blackwidow with orange switches It's really nice :(

How are the green switches for both gaming and typing? I've read reviews that the green switches aren't the best for typing due to the key travel and higher force needed to press them.

excellent video dude super helpful

love the clicky sound :)

So glad i bought the oranges!

Loveeee the yellow switch with the sound dampers. It feels like I'm typing on a marshmellow.

This has been a great help. I spilled tea on my current Orange Razer keyboard, and now need a backup in case it dies.

If I were making switches there would be only four kinds. -All of them would have 35-85 grams of actuation force, going up in 5's. -All would have a 1.5mm actuation point with 3mm total travel distance. -All would be internally dampened to reduce noise. -All would have a center hole design for the LED so the light would travel directly up and into the keycap. -And all of them would be crisp and actuate more stably than current switches while not feeling mushy due to the internal dampening. I would also attempt to develop the switches to be cylindrical so people can use round keycaps if they wish. If not, then perfectly square, so that they could still get round ones, but they'd just have to be bigger than the edges of the switch. Rather than an oval keycap if the switch were rectangular. Anyway. The four variants would be: Linear and Quiet. [Gold] Linear and Clicky. [Silver] Tactile and Quiet. [Cyan] Tactile and Clicky. [Magenta] So, if Cherry adopted my design, an example of a few exact models would be written as "Cherry MX-35 Gold" or "Cherry MX-60 Magenta" or "Cherry MX-45 Cyan" Cool, right? Personally, I'm addicted to the sound of blues, but they're a little loud, and the bump and click don't reset when the switch does. I could honestly go with either of the four, but I think the linear and clicky would be cool as shit because it's unique and new.

they don't do razer yellows in the uk :(

Thank you for this video. I have been looking to replace my Blackwidow that had an accident a few years ago and I was getting lost with the switch choices.

What camera do u use to record these videos ? Amazing video tho love it

When I touch my keyboard it sounds like I'm slamming it so if I get the green switch razor keyboard it'll work out fine :P

Thanks -- Also First 65 or Older

I just made up my mind with a lot of help from your video, quality content you got, thank you very much! :) i used to have a Black widow Chroma Tournament edition but it used the standard switches for the keys (too much noise at gaming nights for people around me) so this yellow ones are just perfect.

Does the green and orange switch feel the same? Or do you feel the missing clicking on the orange switch?

5:24 typing upside down eh?

It's difficult to notice how each color sounds when u click them since you are shouting in that part of the video. Just saying'.

I love your chNNEL because you give facts and helpful things about items and not just sound and rgb like so many viedos you dont hear the features or how some gaming equipdment stacks up againsts each other edit: this video is a little different an exxception

i own greens, i like the yellow cause of how quiet and easy to press it is, but the cherry browns were my favourite for a little bit so i deciding wether to choose orange or yellow.

Which switch is best for typing?

Green is my favorite because it’s weird when the keys click fast or somthing lol and I might forget what I was typing

Thanks this help a lot! I may be going to by the Razer Balckwidow Chroma next week and was wondering which switch I wanted to get.. guess I'm getting the green switch! Again thanks a lot! :)

can we just buy the switches or do we need to buy the keyboard

6:36 lmao

2:20 lol

hey man, new subcriber. Watched a few of your videos in the last week... Well done.. Looking forward to more content from you.. Thanks!

What do you guys think i should get ? The blackwidow chroma TE v2 (green switches)or the new huntsman (non elite with purple switches)?Tell me please or anything else around the price range of 120$-140$

Orange or Yellow? Love the silent of the orange one but the Yellow has only 1.2 mm that's the reason why i don't know which one to choose

"i would recommend going outside a bit" aw man i just got roasted

i'd love to get the yellows but i love the sounds of the greens

Thanks bro for this tips!

I Just Love The Green Switch Because.. The Click What Else did You Think??

If you don't want to annoy your roommate/family just don't even buy a new keyboard, just got kicked out of my family ;-;

I love my Black widow v2 with green switchs. I think I'm going to get a back up one with the yellow switchs

i have always used the razer green switches i love the loud clicks

3:34 drop the bass😂😂

2:09 Green 2:44 Orange 3:30 Yellow

It would great if you could do a video comparison in a game of these switch types if you have all three keyboards. That is going to be the most useful in my opinion.

Thanks for this cause I wanted a keyboard with clicky soundin switches and this helped I like the sound cause it sounds relaxin to me thanks for this cause I found my keyboard I want from razer in like 40 sec

I might don't understand this tech but the yellow "silent" switch is loudy, I don't even understand why they advertise it as "silent"... I have used a silent keyboard before (very cheap ones), and they are silent for real! And they only cost $10

4:58 😂😂

Thanks this helped me a lot :D

Which one would be faster: Cherry's speed silvers or Razer's yellow switches?
