I forum searched and couldn't find a thread about this keyboard.

Question 1)
I was wondering if it's worth the $100 price tag or not ? The actions per minute thing seems really fun.

Question 2)
I was wondering if a mechanical keyboard with back lighting exists or not.

It comes to personal preference. Personally, all the bells and whistles don't justice a triple-digit price.

1) Honestly, it's not really worth it. 100$ is way too much for a non-mechanical keyboard. The APM thing is really gimmicky and if you really care about your current APM in a game just download SC2Gears.

2) Yes, they are some, Blackwidow Ultimate from Razer for example.

It's preference. Some people like lighting. Some people like certain fonts. Some people like diesel cars. That's nothing inherently wrong with having a preference.

I guess preference is a new concept to you?

For back lighting, Black Widow as well as Deck keyboards. They are all expensive but not that much higher than the Marauder.

I don't recommend buying a Rubber dome keyboard for anything above 80+ dollars.

You should definitely look for some mechanical keyboards if you want to upgrade, and it seems to be within your price range.

Once you get a mechanical keyboard you like ill assure you that you will never go back.

Man I lol'd hahaha. Thanks for the advice guys, I'm gonna go get the black widow.

I want back light because I still look at my keys now and then. If I want to play in the dark, I'll need some sort of led or something.

On-The-Fly Macro Recording Allows For Effortless Configuration
Record unlimited macros on-the-fly without having to take your eye off the game and immediately change between up to 10 profiles without the hassle of going into complex driver menus.


._.

So this "official" starcraft 2 keyboard has built in macros? Awesome. Would this thing even be allowed in tournaments?

Who the hell was in contact with Razer when they were designing this thing? Way to go blizzard.

I own a rzer maurauder.

Its the shit, spaced out keys, very comfortable and its heavy so it doesnt move around. Keys are easy to press and its very accurate since everything is nice and spaced out.

All that aside, the lighting on this fucker is incredible. My macro has gotten so much better with it.

Why you ask?

In the preferences for the keyboard you can set what alerts you want the keyboard to flash at you. You can pick the color as well.

For example

my set up

Unit finished training: 2 yellow blinks(this is worth the whole damn keyboard itsself) I can macro in perect waves because everytime my units finish my keyboard blinks and lets me know its time to produce more.

Under attack: 2 Purple blinks

Upgrade complete 2 Green blinks(hello timing attack)

The APM lighting is meh, It can be useful sometimes at monitoring my apm and stuff but I tend to kind of not worry about that.

So I bought the BLACK WIDOW RAZOR. With taxes it was pretty expensive, however it is what I wanted a mechanical keyboard with back lighting. It's really cool (takes some getting used to).
My faults with it on day one is that I keep hitting multiple keys at trh (<--- example) ... *aherm* THE same time.

All and all I think it's a cool keyboard.The back lighting is so cool, and it solves the problem of me wanting to play in the dark (as I still look at the keyboard as I type).

finger prints galore.

I think it's a 10 though, really there is nothing bad about this keyboard besides what needs getting used too. It's sturdy,carries weight, and sharp. Definitely can be used to attack an intruder lol.

I feel like I made a quality purchase. It's kind of one of those things that you don't want to shell out on but when you do you feel very satisfied. Like a good winter jacket or something. this will make my mom proud.

Thanks for everyone in the thread who helped me out !
