Nobody actually knows what switches are in them until someone buys it and checks. It's likely the Blues, but Razer's PR stuff says they've been designing their own and I think the actuation distance is a bit off, plus their pictures look totally different. It probably is Blues though, with Razer PR crap blocking the way.

I'm skeptical of the build quality based on the price. The switches might be fine, but that doesn't mean the caps and everything else will be.

That said, I'm still interested in it.



but they say

Q. What type of mechanical key switch does the Razer BlackWidow use?

A. The Razer BlackWidow uses tactile and clicky Cherry MX Blue mechanical key switches. Each of the mechanical switches has been sorted prior to manufacture to adhere to a strict design guideline.



It's a boss keyboard for $80 indeed. Imma need to get me one of them. too bad it's on backorder

considering razer already jacks up 5$ rubber domes 10X+ of what they should be. while they may very well be cherries expect this kb to be plagued by the same quality control problems the scorpius m10 had considering the striking resemblance (apart from all the gaudy "features":

1) the alt/menu/start/ctrl key cluster
2) distance of the space between the left arrow key and the right ctrl key

the 50$ filco "budget" boards that elitekeyboards had were clearance stock i.e. they were discontinued by filco since very few wanted them. the keys (xm/white fake alps) were not only suprisingly loud (typewriter-ish) they were also typewriter-ish stiff.

I can understand having a good mouse. I main Scout in tf2, thus I understand the importance of a precise mouse for aiming, but there is really no precision in keyboards, except with your own hands. Is it more comfortable?


Why should we spend time convincing you? Look up mechanical keyboards.

uses metal springs/leaves instead of rubber for the keyswitches. your mouse uses mechanical switches, pop off one of the keys of your keyboard and youll notice it has a rubber dome/nipple.

very few if any use mechanical kbs here. if a 5$ samsung/qsenn dt35 rubber dome is good enough for flash jaedong and bisu it's good enough for us.

topres are just ordinary rubber domes. might appeal to some (this is TL-look at the banner) though since the sound the keys make are awfully similar to hooves walking/trotting on stone pavement but at the price it's offered-237$ for a rubber dome?

apart from the pleasure of clickiness mmmmmm. they offer next to nothing in terms of better performance compared to the dt35 or any other logitech.

And don't talk shit when you don't know the difference between a mechanical keyboard and a cheap rubber dome keyboard. The difference is night and day.

If you just want a mechanical keyboard, buy an old IBM Model-M's off ebay for 10-20 bucks.


They're sturdy as fuck and perform as good as anything out there, and you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for it. Well, I guess you'll miss out on the backlight and macro/windows keys if those are important for you.

This stuff's not at all worth what they ask imo, I use cheap ass stuff and a Microsoft Intelligent 3.0 mouse. It's not like if I spend 150$ on the keyboard and another 100 on the mouse I am going to be better... Waste of money if you ask me. Although they are nice pieces of gear so if they knocked off the 100$ + profit they get after making these things for about 1$ then I would consider it.

Brown is you don't like clicks, blue if you do. The guy that said blues are bad for gaming is high.

Yeah, got the same keyboard (just different colour, but it's slowly turning into black, LOL). I really like it. ^_________^

I did a lot of research about these keyboards and i myself bought a linear (black switch) 104 key filco, i couldn't stand the thought of the non-ansi layout (large enter key, moved \ key etc.), after all, I'm not using this keyboard solely for gaming, i want to be able to type on it regularly and comfortably. Just keep in mind the layout you are used to and like. Hope that helps your decision.
