I just ordered one for review ( although I hated their rubber domed keyboards ) -> I think Razer does very well by drawing in gamers with a mechanical keyboard.....

Now for Microsoft and Logitech to jump on the mechanical bandwagon..???

I just might end up selling my lycosa and get the regular edition of BW. Do we know if the regular edition and the ultimate edition are any different other then the backlights and USB/Audio ports?

Just the backlight, weight and ports - not a significant difference, unless you're actually going to use those features.

The USB ports/audio jacks is really useful to be quite honest, though its something I can live without. All in all though, I dont really need any of those

some of the keycaps are crooked like the Adesso I am guessing they are wobbly too. look at the J, P keys. according to the Guinness Book of World Records the Brazilian Wandering Spider is the world's deadliest spider I hope Razer chooses a new OEM for the Razer Wandering ;)

What the hell is up with the "bigger bezel = better" theory of logitech and razer?  I appreciate they placed the arrow keys closer to the main keyset but why all the wasted air-craft carrier type space?

Funny, that's just about the only positive attribute I can see them having.

The keyboard is the point around which the rest of your desk is arranged. Go big or go home.


A bigger bezel perhaps may slide less, provides more comfort to the wrists (I never personally had a keyboard with a long bezel), and makes the consumer think they're getting more for their money?

I don't know...

but at least razer is inching away from rubber domes: they exaggerate their cheap switches too much though, it's not state of the art but clearly low end. Maybe some day they'll make a proper keyboard.

I'm in the pool for a review sample. If you all post comments on my reviews they'll think I'm more popular than I actually am and be more likely to send me one. ;)


Also contacted Unicomp and Deck about review samples. I left a message with the Unicomp sales guy (he wasn't there) and the guy at Deck said they don't normally send out physical review samples except to retailers, but that he'd check and see if that was a rule or just that they hadn't done it before.

Also, I can't say much because it's NDA, but XArmor isn't going to stand still with the BlackWidow dropping.

How durable do you guys think this keyboard will be as compared to other manufacturers' offerings? I'd imagine Razer to be quite a reputable brand, although a friend did commented to me before that their mice seem to die prematurely with the cable coming loose at the connector, so... I'm a bit concerned about the build quality about their products, even though the switches might be top notch Cherry stuff but if the PCB or cabling isn't done right, the keyboard isn't going to be around for its 50 million keystrokes...

The cutout in front of the box to try keys is a good idea.

Just make sure you know where that previous customer's  finger has been before buying it (tip: get the box in back).


Ah yes, thanx for pointing this out since I missed it.

Wait until you try the other switches before dissing the Cherry MX's.


Without meaning to sound like MW, he has a Model M, and thus knows what a proper tactile switch design feels like...

Remember this picture that Razer uses to show the difference in their "ULTRA OPTIMIZED SWITCH" versus the lowly Logitech/Microsoft rubber dome?
Show Image


It's a NMB switch (affectionately called Space Invaders) around here.  Obsolete switch that has nothing to do with Cherry MX.
Show Image

I think the Razer marketing/engineering team has a few things to learn about building keyboards.   It took Das (Metadot) about 4 tries over 4 years to get the Das Keyboard to finally work properly.


If those pictures intentionally look like that switch, despite all these pre-release models we've seen with Cherry MX Blues at this point, Razer might be just a bit slower than I initially thought.

Black Cherry as an industrial switch intended to be hammered on, for sure.  I don't think I would even want to use it for gaming let alone typing on.

I love MX browns. I typed on my G80 some today after using the XArmor for weeks, and I'm really thinking about plugging that back in instead. The only thing I don't like is the color and the ISO enter key. But mmmmmm smooth light soft MX browns... Screw clicky, PCB-mounted MX browns are the bomb.

My sentiments exactly.  If I were stuck with one type of switch for the rest of my life, it would be Cherry browns.  They're not quite as nice as the Realforce, but they are pretty consistent in every board I have tried.

What? 4 years of development wasn't enough?

I'm satisfied with my DAS Keyboard "Silent" version with Cherry Brown switches.  This is exactly why I have loved ALPS keyboards, and now I love Cherry keyboards as long as they're brown.  I'm still trolling for a Cherry Black for the linear version of non-clicky Cherry boards but honestly I have not found myself to be that sensitive and I type 130 wpm.
