I got so many looks and comments on zoom calls because of how loud these green switches are that I switched to a different KB

I'm still clackin away on my 5yr-old Razer Blackwidow v3 with green switches and loving it. If I had to replace it tomorrow, I'd replace it with the Blackwidow v4 pro with greens, without a second thought. But I LOVE noisy keyboards.

Used the Blackwidow V3, upgraded to the V4 and I was/I am happy with both. Both full-size, non-pro, non-X versions. Can't comment on the Huntsman, though. If you can get the BW V4 at a decent price, I'd go for it. At a glance, I'm not sure the V4 Pro is worth the substantial extra cost as it doesn't seem to offer that much more over the non-Pro V4. One thing I will say for both my V3 and V4 is that they never suffered from "mechanical-keyboard-itis" so far - unlike some higher-end products from Corsair and HyperX I've used before. Meaning: So far I've never had any issues with keys acting up on either of the Razer products - something that happened to all the other mechanical "gaming" keyboards I've used in the past.

Ngl I miss the macro buttons on keyboards. I still use my razer blackwidow on the main PC and I can’t stop using the M1-M5 keys

I went from Razer Blackwidow, which is similar to your Ducky, to Wooting 80HE. The difference is night and day and the Wooting was irrefutably better. I had to mod mine for more tactile keys as it was hard for me to feel like I was hitting keys, but I've gotten used to it now. The default Wooting should honestly be universally satisfying for most keyboard preferences otherwise

all their mice work perfectly for me with zero issues. i had a blackwidow keyboard from them start double typing, which is apparently a known issue with them. i had a huntsman v2 mini from them that works perfectly after years of use. i recently got a deathstalker v2 pro tkl that works ok so far too. i've had two mechanical keyboards fail on me, one razer, one not, neither optical. so i don't know if it's a razer issue or just non-optical mechanical keyboards being unreliable
