Comparison:
Cherry Blue switch has lighter switch and make a tick tick sound when typing.
Cherry Black switch has a lil harder switch compare to blue switch and it doesn't have any sound unless you press the key a till the end and hit the bottom to produce a little sound.
Blue switch are better in both, because it do well in both gaming and typing, even in some reviews people rate it 9/10 Typing, 9/10 gaming. while Black switch are only better in gaming because the key is harder and lessen any mistake that when you type a key in fast, nearly key won't be press on mistake. it scores 10/10 Gaming, but in typing, i don't really think most people will like to type on this keyboard because it takes times to getting used to the key feel.

i feel theres not much difference in the actuation force, afterall its only 10gms difference.
the difference for me is that if u can touch type u can go faster on the blacks than the blues...cos u tend to press the blues til it clicks which is at around 4mm compared to the 2mm travel distance required to activate the key.
now if only some cherry reds would appear...

http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Che...ches+and+boardsThe say black has no tactile feel or something but is better for gaming. I spend 50 50 on gaming and typing. But I feel typing is more important cause to type faster means more gaming time!
If only the blackwidow looked nicer.
