- Mechanical Switch Comparison: Gateron Blue vs. Cherry MX Blue vs. Razer Green
Today, I have three variations of my favorite mechanical switch: Gateron Blue, Cherry MX Blue, and Razer Green because for razer, their equivalent of the blue switch is green. Be ready for a lot of sound and typing tests, i'm also gonna talk about which of the three I prefer and why at the end of this video. Let's get started.

Thank you good sir
My thought is that the loudness doesn't come from the switch itself but from the resonance of the hollow plastic cap above it and the plastic shell of the keyboard itself. It acts like the soundboard of a guitar. The type of plastic, the thickness, the shape, it all plays a role. So find a better keyboard with better caps and it will be less loud. My bet is that if you had a keyboard with no shell, it would drastically reduce the noise level. I'm also wondering what it would be like if you were to take a solid compound like hot glue or epoxy and fill in the gaps under each cap. Would the filling in reduce the noise level?
That's why different board size often have different sounds.
I have a Keychron K1 V3 and that is exactly what I discovered. I feel like the gateron blue, although loud, is even better than the Cherry MX in my opinion. I think a lot of it has to do with how often you use a laptop keyboard like a MacBook scissor, Surface or something similar. The transition from a laptop low profile keyboard to the gateron blue just feels more natural. If you never use anything but a mechanical keyboard on a desk than I can see why the gaterons are just not the same experience. but you are right, it is personal preference.
> Razer green actuation force: 55g
> "I don't like the Razer switch, it's the heaviest"
mitchell2719 facts the green is the lightest
brian u dont get it its not heavy cuz its grams
@@Brian-nf1gd yellows are the lightest
actually, you can swap out the spring and make it 30g or 150g
Brian nope they are even
you should put all of the switch on three keyboard to know the "real difference" since different keyboard case /housing / material could also impact the sound that they made
especially on that rakk keyboard , since they used a floating keycaps design
I like the way that the Razer greens sounded the most, it is just more satisfying. I just believe that cherry mx manufactures better switches mainly because that is what they specialize in. they almost exclusively make switches so they have the time and experience to make theirs better. That and when he removed the keycaps in the first comparison you could hear the spring on the inside of the switch and that should not be happening
S.I. Dead just wait until you have to share a dorm w/ a few roomates. They will try to strangle you to stop typing.
Gateron only focus on switches too
I could fall asleep to this
Mqte I was falling asleep at work listening to this
Hell no not clickys
Same

subscribed - thanks for the comparison video!
Great video! I hope you do more comparison videos. Question, what Logitech keyboard is that with the Cherry MX Blue?
Thank you for watching! Logitech G610 :)
You should try to make a review on the Steelseries APEX M650 Mechanical Keyboard.There's no english review on the product yet since its not yet available on western regions.Keep up the great work! :D
Excellent suggestion! Thanks for the heads up! I'll see what I can do :)
Rakk Kimat XT user here! for a budget price of 2300+ pesos, i never regret buying this keyboard! :)
thank you man, this comment helps me to decide which keyboard I'm gonna buy next weekend :D I was choosing between the Redragon KALA or the Rakk Kimat :D
same here , I have the Kimat XT and its probably the most bang for buck mechanical keyboard
i regret buying the kimat xt. mahina ang ilaw ng led, ung mga white led ay mapula ang ilang buttons, at nagloko agad after ilang months palang nagamit AT kahit pibaltan na nila ung nung ipinawarranty ko was mapula pa din ung ibang buttons pag naka white led effect.
about naman sa typing experience ko sa kimat xt, not as comfortable as outemu blue, at mas madalas ako magkamali pag typing, at medyo stressfull sa kamay gamitin sa maghapon dahil sa trabaho ko, pero sa outemu blue never nakaramdam ng stress ang kamay ko.
try mo boss ngayon ang kimat xt.2 bka umayaw ka sa liwnag HAHAHAsa video palang nakakasilaw na e
Rakk 2 ten times better
sweet! do browns next.
Will get browns soon! My goal is to try every switch in existence!
PacoMNL corsair strafe rgb mx brown pls 😮
if you want to try all switches you have to go into the custom market and get them there these are just standard and pretty boring but if you get to something like kailh creams or gateron ink blacks then nice the most switches lay in the custom market kbdfans.com/ is the most known site in the custom scene and i highly recommend to give the site a look :D happy christmas
Nice video! Why do you use blackwidow x? Is it just because of looks?(it definitely does look amazing) Just wondering.
I use it because of the looks, i don't mind compromising a bit of functionality for style haha. it looks amazing!
I see! I've seen people changing the switch on the blackwidow : www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/4pv8o3/decided_to_replace_the_razer_green_switches_on_my/ so that's pretty cool!
Cherry MX Blues have an actuation force of 50g and a peak force of 60g.
Hey dude. Haha. Thanks for joining my giveaway.:3 I saw your post on RUPH and I am glad I did check your video out. :3 I am planning to get an MKB after getting a freesync monitor later this year. :3
Thanks for the giveaway! I hope I win! Haha it'll be a big help for my youtube channel in reducing costs for buying new games.

Present-Watching this with a Keychron V1 with Gateron Browns (Lubed)
Don't get the razer green switches if noise/sound is any sort of factor to you.
All of them sounds the same but different, i personally would use any of those as long as it has the click sound
The sound of blues😌
Ew
ew
That Gateron sounds soooooo good.
Ture6
Ture
True
Niceee, btw should I get a gaming switch example razer green that I already have or cherry mx red?
Not worth the price of a Razer board. They're far too expensive for the quality, and really aren't that nice.
What's the name of the gateron keyboard?
the razer sounds a bit cruchy like the springs are rubbing or something
seems to be the worst quality one
Thanks bro. Great review. Quick and to the point.
I found a great keyboard where I live in Indonesia for about 50 bucks with gateron blue switches! ❤️
Can someone tell me what is the Intro's music?
Saiko Darude-Sandstorm
have you tried aula 2012?where would you rank it?nice vid
Thanks for watching! I've heard good feedback about the Aula 2012. What switches does it use? I'd rank it as one of the best budget boards right now similar to the Rakk Kimat XT which i've reviewed here. Unfortunately the Aula 2012 does not have RGB functionality
Thanks for the comparison. I'm using a Razer mechanical then now I'm looking for a new KBO. Cheers
I personally like the razor green switches, the deeper sound sounds better to me
I know my keyboard is cherry Xm. But it says nothing about the color on the box. How do I check if it’s red brown or clear?
Take out the key cap and you cam see
Thomas Nguyen they are silver/grey
Which version of the Razer Green switch is that? Is it the 2014 or 2016 version?
Thanks for confirming that gateron blues feel lighter than cherry mx. Surprisingly, the data shows both require 60 units of force to operate
Plz answer this, is gaming on the blue cherry switches still good? Because I like the click but I heard reds are more for gamers
sipplayz MCandmore Blues can be used for gaming also and they're also pretty damn good at it. Brown might be more of a middle ground though. But blues can definitely be used.
I want a clicky linear switch but I don't know how THIER gonna do that
You can't really get that, as linear means not tactile or clicky, but the new Kailh speed switches, like the gold, use a click bar mechanism that may have the effects you want. I think the golds are what you'd be looking at.
Gateron blue is the best 😊😊
SpaceJump yes it is bitch
Hann chill bruv unless you're 1% black you cant be talking like that g
in my opinion, the cherry mx blues sounded better
@@donaldnguyen2422 sounded, how do they feel?
The stem on gateron blue is shit
You have terrible dampeners or audio quality is bad??
Hi sir Paco! could you compare this with the Ajazz AK33 RGB Blue switches? planning to instead of kimat xt. ty
heavier and quiet what keyboard can you suggest ??
vincent balasa I would recommend any keyboard with gateron or cherry mx black switches :)
my personal pick would be:
1st: outemu blue
2nd: razer green
Why? Outemu blues aren't even in the vid bec its so cheap and its a knock off version of cherry and gateron blues
@@jaylee3139, it's not on the list and i know it's a knock off of cherry, but i like the feel of outemu blue than cherry and gateron.
Where is you mic? It sounds like it is getting louder the closer you come to the cam --> therefore sound comparison is useless. It is not the same setup for each keyboard!!
I volunteer my BW TE Stealth should you ever need to do a Razer Orange comparison :)) (at least i THINK it was a Razer Orange)
remove the keycap and check! hahaha!
PacoMNL yeah it's orange haha!
Gateron red are good for typing?
hey nice asmr video dude i subscribed
Sweet I was looking for this type of videos.
I want Gateron Blue vs Razer Greens because I'm planning to replace my Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2016's switches with Gateron Blues
LiteGaming thanks for watching!
sir paco, just an inquiry, when i type on my razer blackwidow x chroma, the feels are different from letters and numbers. Also with the F's above. Is this normal due to the size of keycaps? this is my first mkb btw. Thanks for the vid, subbed.
this is normal due to the position of the keycaps, the size are the same :)
tnx man! i mean does the size of keycaps affect its clickyness? i noticed na mas malaki ung sa numbers and f's compare sa letters. Mas malutong ung sa letters..
My Ranking:
1. IBM Beamspring Solenoid
2. Kailh Box Navy
3. Outemu Blue
The beam springs sound terrible wdym
@@cinnerus329 'My Ranking.' There's no such thing as a terrible sounding switch, just maybe one that you don't like. Clickies aren't my thing, but the beamspring with a solenoid makes the deepest thock out of them.
The sound is so wack tho idk like what you like
@@cinnerus329 Well that's just your opinion. A majority of the mk community would give their first born and a handy for a beamspring.
Bet ima go get a beamspring
Can someone tell me what is the best out of gateron blue or cherry mx blue
how similar are the gateron blues and the razer greens for feel?
I find the Razer Greens are like noisy Gateron Browns, whereas the Gat Blues have a much more noticeable click feel.
My favorite switch right now is actually the romer g switch from Logitech. Personally, I don't care about when companies say that their switch is made for gaming because any mechanical keyboard will be fine for gaming so when looking for a keyboard find one you like to type on and more me I love the sound, feel, and rgb features that the romer g switch brings. My second favorite would be mod-m or zealios and then either gateron brown or clears.
Romer g is membrane
@@lussor1 membrane =/= rubber dome.
@@KosherPorky idk very old comment
I ended up buying razer huntsman for 70

'Watch me compare the heaviest mechanical switches.'
'I think I like the lightest of the heavy switches.'
Unfair test
These Razer Switches are Kailh Made Razer Greens
You need a new Razer keyboard for the Greetech Razer Greens.
The Kailh Switches are the crappy kind and the Greetech are the improved version.
Dead giveaway is the Razer Greens made by Kailh don't have sides going down.
If I'm not mistaken, his Blackwidow is the X Tournament version so I believe they are already the Greetech switches.
I don't see how it's unfair. A tad outdated maybe, but unfair?
Honestly while the Greetech switches are an improvement they still are not great. It's more or less accepted by the enthusiast community at large either on Reddit MK or GeekHack that gaterons are smoother than Cherry or Razer by a wide margin. Greetech while more reliable then Razers older Switches still feel scratchy compared to gateron or Cherry and simply are not as pleasant to type on.
LiquidEvilGaming Which do you prefer; Outemu or Greetech Razer?
Jefferson Aux Google what kailh casing looks like and what Greetech looks like you can tell...
you've earned a sub. keep it up, bruh
I need to admit something very sad right now that i have never said to anyone but I am for some reason feeling guilt to say right now. My first mechanical keyboard was on my birthday this year and i got a royal kludge rk61 (not full rgb) even worse.. with gateron blues. i liked it but then forwards around 2 months ago i did some experimenting and i tried to lube it with lotion and that broke the keys completely. so then i got a new keyboard and i am very happy. 25 dollars + lubed mx browns
which is better rakk kimat or xt ?
personal preference
and idk if the kimat uses black switches, the xt holds blue tho for sure
I just got my Gateron Blue keyboard... ITS SO GOOD.
Sure, it's not as loud as my first keyboard (It's Outemu)
But then, it's really nice too. It feels better in my opinion.
Sorry for the bad english, it's only my second language.
(Which I barely use)
xXxFrost FirexXx no it is actually pretty good for reference whats ur native language?
Filipino...
English is like only used in Formal occasions,
(I'm 13 where would I go? XD)
xXxFrost FirexXx oh Hai im also filipino liit ng mundo no ok lmg yan g sa youtube ko pinapractice xD buti d mo cnabi Tagalog nakakainis kasi mali mali yung sinasabi
i had to google translate that
I do not know if I'm in youtube but I'm not talking about you but you're in Tagalog because I'm wrong
You actually use better grammar than must English speakers...
which is the loudest
Gateron
They're also the highest pitched.
They type great, but if you get them, I recommend getting them on a keyboard with an enclosed design, not with floating keys.
i had k65 rgb lux now i have razer blackwidow v2 chroma
The Gaterons sound cheaper. They claim 60 grams but they feel far lighter than that, again cheaper feel with weaker springs. And all this, of course, because they are cheaper. But it's all about feel and what you prefer. Personally, I prefer the Cherry MX Blues. There is a sort of paradox of the sturdier switch with a stronger spring is that it also feels softer, where as the Gaterons sound and feel harsher to me.
I love gateron blues too :D
The gaterons souns the best period they have everything every single person ive met that tried the gateron blues they choose them over most switches including cherry mx reds
don’t blues have an actuation of 50?
Giosue Iglesias the cherrys are 45 i thought so to
what about kailhhh
But the actuation force is lighter on the razer LMAO
which has the most inconsistent clicks?
Razer Green IMHO
damn... just ordered razer chroma :(
should i go for stealth chroma?
adn does your chroma comes with the new greetech switches?
LoberaSupreme mine is the x chroma which come with switches manufactured by kaihl. Both are still good :) I prefer the green over the stealth to be honest
Cool thanks! i subbed
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the support :)
In my opinion, the Razer switches are the Best. They sound clean, not TOO clicky, and the other switches seemed too noisy and messy.(?)
Well, kailh makes the razer ones sooooooooo, its technically cherry vs kailh vs gateron
but greetech makes some of them tooooo
I can tell this video is old cause it does not have the razor purple switches
Have one and I like the Gateron blues too...
Fuck,I just bough A Corsair K70,now I want some Gateron Switches
what's my favorite? definitely not the RAZER switches , i'd rather get the cherry or Gateron they sound almost similar only gateron is smoother
Check Ping well if your gonna get gateron get a closed body keyboard, i have a open body keyboard with gateron AND IT IS SO LOUD THAT ITS NIT EVEN SATISFYING
I ended up buying Redragon kala with outemo and now my roomie hates me
thanks dito sir paco, sakto bibili pa naman ng kb at mouse, sir about naman sa headphone na pang gaming na may mic :)
amu marquez thanks for watching! Will do a review on that soon :)
In buying the cherry mx blue the karama reddragon gaming keyboard rgb
Nice video
oh using a gateron blue mechanical keyboard k28 gigaware np its cheap
cherry blue feels too direct and clean thats why i prefer the razer green ones.
The one in the middle sounds like parie the platypus
I think the cherry sounds the best 1:16
romer g switch?
You cannot go wrong with cherry mix blue. I haven’t used the gaderon but I have tried the razer and they remind me of the kaihl switches which I think feel cheap.
kailh switches are cheap? lmaoo
what Logitech keyboard is taht
TonyPlayzz logitech g610 orion blue switch
Actuation force of cherry MX blues is 50g not 60g
Browns please
helped me a lot i am gonna buy Gateron bleu thx
Do EVERY brand
uhh cherry blues are 50g not 60g actuation force
They're 60
Cherry MX Master Race!
at this point cherry switches are almost the worst on the market. gateron are leagues ahead in both price and quality.

Razer Greens sound terrible.
straight fax
Razer just is terrible
1:13
Sounds better than the gateron and the cherry keys
ِ most would say the opposite but okay
All 3 have the same design. This is why modern mechanical keyboard are so boring unlike the vintage mechanical keyboard that bring us like Alps SKCM, NMB Space Invader, SMK, Omron B3G-S and IBM Buckling Spring
MX Blue for the win!
I'll go for gateron blue 😍
thx bro
Why is it Gateron sound so satisfying LOL
nc im going to buy the rakk keyboard :D
Gateron sound best + smoothest actuation
nah, razer green switches have the best sound out of the three
