Looking for a keyboard

[megamindstorm101]

I have 1 question about your razer black widow. How long did you have that keyboard? I have heard of far too many people saying that their razer products fail within about 7 months or less, there are the occasional people saying that they never had problems, but for the most part everyone has problems. The biggest problem with the black widow specifically is the spacebar pushing down the alt keys as well.

Because of these problems I hear of I went with microsoft for the mouse and I will probably go with das keyboard's for a keyboard. Whoever said logitech keyboards suck I beg to differ, this Logitech G-15 IMO is the best gaming keyboard hands down apart from mechanical. this is v1 however, the later ones were lame and I think they dropped the keyboard now.

Well, I said Logitech keyboards suck because, when you actually list out the features to price, there are a lot better options. Maybe not in the lower end bracket, but their G series is disgusting. You will NEVER see a top tier gamer using a Logitech keyboard. Their GAMING series of keyboards has a 5 key anti-ghost, that's a joke. Here's a good example, the G19. You get a 5 key anti-ghost, a LCD screen, which you shouldn't be looking at while you game, but if you really wanted to I guess you could always watch YouTube, but that brings me back to my first point, why aren't you watching it on your monitor? Then you have the macro keys. All this for $170. Oh wow, what's that... a Razer Blackwidow for $70 cheaper and it does the EXACT same things but it's mechanical? You gotta be absolutely stupid to actually think it's worth an extra $70 for a screen that you shouldn't be using, and for a cheaper build of keyboard.

I've had my Blackwidow Ultimate for 5 months now and it hasn't died. I've heard about the spacebar problem and my friend actually had it on his Blackwidow, fortunately mine doesn't have that problem.

The only real problem that I've had with it was the 0 on the numberpad being stuck. But that was a fairly simple fix, basically the spring that pushed the key back up came loose which caused it to get stuck, but I just had to pop out the keycap and reattach the spring properly it and it works like a charm now.

Only problems, glossy surface needs constant cleaning. Also only 3-key rollover, but the gaming matrix only makes it an issue for a few games. Also MX-Cherry Blues? They are normally classified as typist keyswitches not gaming, but they have grown on my, except for the click that still bugs me.

There is a small and easy fix to solve the clicking... spill a full cup of coffee all over your keyboard. I did that to mine XD but it still works perfectly which is very surprising.
