Hi there,
I’ve been using the BlackWidow Elite (RZ03-0262) with Yellow switches for years and I really love it. I’m primarily a programmer, not a gamer. The Yellow switches feel very fast and responsive, although sometimes a little too fast for my typing style; they occasionally register extra inputs. Overall, it’s been a great keyboard for me.
I’m now considering the BlackWidow V4 Low-Profile (full size, wireless) to use in different places. I noticed that Razer offers both Yellow and Orange switches, and I’m trying to understand the difference in real-world use.
My questions are:
How do the Orange switches compare to the Yellow in terms of feel and sound?
I wouldn’t describe the Yellow switches as quiet — how much louder are the Orange switches compared to Yellow?
For someone who types a lot (programming, long sessions) and likes a responsive feel without too many accidental presses, would you recommend sticking with Yellow or trying Orange?
I really prefer a full layout rather than compact for productivity, so the full-size BlackWidow V4 is ideal for me.
Thanks in advance for your help!
