Hey, I want to get a new keyboard. My Blackwidow v2 te(orange switch) is getting old. I was wondering if the Huntsman v2 or Blackwidow v3 is generally better? It also looks like orange keys are no longer supported Tweakbox. Should I get Opitlcal red, optical purple, Green, or Yellow switch? Which is most similar to oranges? I have only tried mx blues(too loud) and orange switches.

If you want silent switch, the same as Orange - go with mechanical Yellow or optical Red, but they'll be different, because Orange is silent, tactile, and both Yellow/Red are silent, linear (no bump).
I don't think you can really go wrong with either. I personally like the BlackWidow Mini, but it's a lot of personal preference. I had to buy and return a bunch of keyboards before I found one that I really liked. There are certain things like the Huntsman's media wheel that may or may not make a difference to you. For example, it's irrelevant to me because volume is handled externally. The digital volume in Windows never changes. But I know others love it.
