try finding this keyboard. the click clack is not as loud as it is a MX Brown. Also, it has a large CTRL key for easier grouping and no windows key to worry about (you can still map a windows key). Also everything is compact so more keys are in easier reach. imo best gaming keyboard i have ever used. | ||

Blacks are actually not really similar to browns at all. Blacks have high activation force and are non-tactile, while browns are tactile and have low activation force, which is actually the exact opposite. I guess I can agree with the other people, though, that mech keyboards somehow got way over hyped on TL like the past year. They feel good to type on, but it somehow turned into this "mech keyboards magically make you awesome at SC" or something. | ||

If you don't want to Google them, here are some that come from the top of my head: 1. Many BlackWidows have their spacebar touching the right alt key. When you press down spacebar, there is a high chance of right alt also being pressed down. Some people don't have this problem, but you can YouTube videos of it. 2. I think it only supports 2KRO. This means that there are certain key combinations where the maximum amount of keys that can be pressed down and recognized by the computer is limited to two. If I'm dropping $100+ on a keyboard, I expect better (there are $30 gaming keyboards that support 6KRO+). 3. Glossy surfaces attract fingerprints. This probably only bothers me though.... I also hear horror stories about them failing quickly in general. One of the clerks at MicroCenter really tried to get me to buy it, he even opened the box to let me try it out. He swore that it was the best keyboard he ever used. Despite all this, I think the BlackWidow is still one of the only mechanical "gaming" keyboards around though. If you REALLY need macro keys and all that stuff and have to have a mechanical keyboard, I don't think you have much choice unless you go into the $150 range. I'd do some research first. Edit: I'd stay away from headsets or headphones marked as "gaming headsets." There's a whole thread on TL about headphones. I've used several different gaming headsets - Razer Barracuda being one of them, and they don't sound nearly as good as my current Audiotechnica AD700s. I used to play CS at a high level as well, and I have a much easier time distinguishing footsteps with the AD700s which are stereo (people say it's due to a better "sound stage") compared to the Barracudas which are 5.1 surround. They aren't even comparable when it comes to listening to music. NEXT, if you don't mind spending ~$5 more, and if you have the space, I would recommend the PureTrak Talent mousepad. I've heard nothing but good things about it, and I'm planning on getting one myself once my current SS QcK+ retires. | ||

Alas I'm getting one because I have a huge bestbuy giftcard, and I don't know what else to spend it on >.> | ||
