Our Verdict
Cherry MX Brown
Razer Orange Gen 3
Cherry MX Brown and Razer Orange Gen 3 are tactile switches with a small bump to overcome during actuation. While the Cherry switches are suitable for typing and gaming, the Razer switches are designed specifically for gaming. They're considerably smoother feeling from the factory with slightly better latency performance. They're also a bit more lightweight, and while they have the same amount of pre-travel distance, the tactile bump happens much sooner during the Razer's keypress.
