Cons
Con Razer switches
Razer makes their own switches - Orange (similar to Cherry MX Brown) and Green (similar the Cherry MX Blue). They aren't held up to the same QA processes switches from other manufacturers are and there are many claims that switches aren't uniform (pressure and actuation distance is different between keys). They are a bit worse for typing - the actuation distance is a hair shallower - although this is preferred for gamers.
