Title: Switches in the black widow?

What switches are in the Razer Black Widow? I tried it at Microcenter yesterday and rather like the feel/sound of them.

Blue, clicky and tactile.

Thanks, how would they compare to the red? Red seems more popular.

Reds are linear and non-tactile. They will feel very light and completely uniform when you press them, no clicks, no bumps compared to the Blues.
