Hello, i want to upgrade to a mechanical keyboard and i need some help on the different switches. I own a 2014 Razer Blade 14 and i love the chiclet keyboard on it. However i usually plug in to a monitor and bigger keyboard. Which switch is most similar to the Blade's?
as you said its a chiclet keyboard, not a mechanical keyboard so I'm unclear of what you're asking, but here's the Tek Syndicate video going through the different Cherry MX switches.

If you really like the chiclet type keyboard, why not get a chiclet keyboard?
If you really would prefer a mechanical keyboard, a linear switch, such as MX red, would be more similar to a chiclet keyboard, compared to a tactile switch, such as MX Brown or Topre.
I like less travel as well and just put some o-rings on a das keyboard with MX brown switches. Not quite as shallow as my macbook scissor keys, but better than the full depth. Reds with o-rings might be nice.
Got the ducky Shine 3 with Greens.. so lovely. I can't use anything else now!
