Differences between the mechanical Razer switches

The Razer Clicky Low profile swtich from Razer looks a lot like a mechanical switch at first. When you press it, you can feel and clearly hear the click. This way, you'll know exactly when you can release the key to press the next one. The big difference is that the sensor of the key works with a light beam. That's why your key stroke registrations are 'as fast as the speed of light'. This switch has similar properties to the linear Low profile switch.

The Razer Lineair Low profile switch by razer looks like the yellow mechanical switches by Razer. When you press the key, you won't feel or hear a click. This switch is the lightest to press and it responds the fastest of all Razer switches with an actuation point of 1.2mm. This switch shares properties with the clicky opto-mechanical switch, but it doesn't have a click. The Clicky Low profile switch also registers your keystrokes with a light sensor.

The green mechanical switch by Razel has the old-fashioned 'clickly' feel. When you press the key, you feel and hear it. Gamers that enjoy this like to get clear feedback when their keystroke was registered. People around you won't appreciate loud click as much.

The orange switch from Razer has a averagely audible click. You can still feel the click. The power of the click feeling is a bit less compared to the green switch. Choose the orange switch if you want haptic feedback but don't want to make a lot of sound with your keystrokes.

The yellow mechanical switch from Razer is the fastest of the mechanical switches. Unlike the orange and green switch from Razer, this yellow switch doesn't provide feedback. You won't feel and hear that you pressed the key. If you really want that, the yellow switch is a very competitive option with 1.2mm actuation point.
