DESIGNED FOR GAMING

Mechanical switches have always been superior for speed and accuracy, and before 2010, they were only used for typing – because they were made precisely for that purpose. Razer then made the radical decision to use mechanical switches for a gaming keyboard, and that birthed the world’s very first gaming mechanical keyboard, the Razer BlackWidow.

Four years later, Razer redefined the limits of gaming performance by creating mechanical switches that were designed specifically to meet the demands of gaming - the Razer™ Mechanical Switch was born.

The classic. For those who want to feel and hear every keypress, the Razer™ Green Mechanical Switch features a tactile bump and distinctive click sound along with optimized actuation and reset points for best in class gaming and typing performance.
