Our Verdict

Cherry MX Blue

Razer Green Gen 3

Cherry MX Blue and Razer Green Gen 3 are clicky switches with click jacket designs, making a loud and signature clicky sound on the downstroke. The Razer's feel a bit smoother out of the box, and they have a clear housing that allows for better RGB illumination.
