Hello!

Story:
Today, I went to go out to Bestbuy to look for a Mechanical Keyboard. I FOUND ONE. It was the Razer Chroma with Green Switches. It was my first time touching and testing out a Mechanical Keyboard. The Green Switches felt so light and felt like typing on clouds than my Mac Chiclet Keyboard. I also saw the Corsair K60 or K70 (Not sure) with Cherry MX Reds Switches. I felt the urge to press so hard onto the keyboard since I can't feel the actuation point and that it feels like it has more grams which feels heavy. So the switches felt too smooth that I will break it. (coming from a HARD chiclet Keyboard.)

Summary: Does the Razer Orange Switches feel mostly like a Cherry MX Reds but lighter?
 

Yes and no, difference is very small. Most noticeable is travel depth , less - linear stability of keys in complex. I've tested K65 of Corsair vs BW Tournament. I think they could be made identical with o-rings.
