Huntsman Mini (Purple Switches) Experience | Razer Insider
November 11, 2020 - It was a heavy investment for a 60% keyboard to be honest but I didn't think twice because of my previous experience with Razer and its more like a love at first sight, keyboard looks sexy. Initially, I wanted to get the red switches but when I tried out the huntsman mini with the red switches on the shop, it doesn't feel like a mechanical keyboard and more like a membrane keyboard for some reason, so I decided to get the purple switches instead.

Razer Keyboard Switches - How to Pick the RIGHT One
February 10, 2021 - If we were to categorize all these Razer switches in the Linear camp we would have the Razer Yellow, the Red optical Gen1 and Gen2, plus the analog switches. In the tactile camp we would have the Razer Orange and then in the clicky category we would have the Razer Green, Razer Purple optical, and the Mecha-Membrane, which is that hybrid mechanical switch.

Razer Hopes to Silence Noise Complaints With 2nd Gen Linear Optical Switches | Tom's Hardware

They're completely, radically different. If possible, go to a big electronics store and try out a bunch of mechanical keyboards. Cherry Reds will feel extremely similar to Razer Yellows, and Cherry Blues (and Razer Greens) will feel kinda like Purples. Basically, go yellow if you want no feedback at all, go purple if you want a ton of feedback. Gamers seem to like reds/yellows because it's a "faster" switch, in terms of the time between when you start applying pressure and when the switch activates. Typists will almost always prefer Blues/Greens/Purples because it lets your brain know you successfully hit the key and, ultimately, leads to faster typing with fewer typos because you're not missing or second-guessing keystrokes. Personally, I hate Cherry MX Reds and and Razer Yellows and would rather have a membrane board than them, but it's entirely subjective. I'm on purples now, my favorite switch currently, but I also like blues and greens (and have both). As per "faster," in theory, purple is fastest (in terms of the time between switch actuation and the computer receiving the signal) but I very much doubt a human being could ever tell the difference. I can't. Purples, in terms of feel, are like a lighter blue/green with shorter travel. In my opinion, they offer a really good balance of the feedback of a green with the speed of a yellow. If you have no idea what you want, and you can't test them in real life, then you should get browns or oranges. These are the most balanced switches and can be treated as a "one size fits all" approach. Even I like Oranges.
