taobao sell good and bad things.
so i have no biased opinion.

Ya, mkb all about the switches. You are right.
Same brand switches on different board do feel differently. That's why brand like Filco so godly.
About the Razer BlackWidow 2013, their MX Cherry Blue not as loud(dampen) as other brands.

So, for lifehacker article, IMO really unprofessional. You agreed that switches are the most important part.
When you look at lifehacker article, they mentioned mx blue is loud, mx brown is quieter.
They not even mentioned that MX blue is heavier tactile+clicky, MX brown is lighter tactile switch.

The reason why I not recommend Razer Blackwidow although it's using mx blue because:
- non-standard layout (it's hard to find replacement keycaps)


Why we need replace our keycaps? Because abs keycaps will get shiny after long time of typing (few months)

You can get replacement keycaps set like pbt materials because it resist to shiny. Everyone here bought mechanical keyboard for long run.
Most of us target above 5-20 years at least.

For BWU to replace keycaps, you need buy a normal keycaps set, and a tsangan kit (picture in the spoiler below), additional cost.
Not all keycaps set do have tsangan kit option.


Futhermore, when the keyboard plate corroded when you use the keyboard for long time. Maybe we will want to replace the plate on the keyboard.
Alu or stainless steel plate.

BWU does not support this kind of plate replacement, because BWU not standard layout.

And, standard layout do support changing casing.


Because of a simple non-standard layout, you limit yourself in mechanical keyboard's modability, maintainability for long run.

I'm still new to custom mkb like gh60, kmac, and etc. How to flash a desired keymap layout to the custom keyboard? Are they using same software to flash the firmware? Can we change the keymap layout as we like and upload it to our keyboard?

Depends, some pcb can be flashed using same software if they are using same or similar controller.
Such as kmac and duck pcb are both using flip to flash the firmware/keymap.
Yes, u can always change the keymap layouts and flash it. That's the reason of getting a custom because most oem board cant do so.
