Post by: doebedoe on Sat, 22 January 2011, 19:10:11: Someone convince me that it is reasonable to buy two keyboards in a week? First Model M is on its way, a first Cherry seems necessary no?

(Worked here in the States.)

Post by: theferenc on Sat, 22 January 2011, 19:19:10: I'm of the opinion that buy them when you find them. None of these pesky "buy one a week" or some such.

Now, you can only do this up to your allotted budget, though. Then it's back to the schedule, assuming your budget is on a schedule.

No problem. I did return the BW when I first got it, not because I didn't like it, but I ended up getting a Filco Brown plus 2 Noppoo Choc Minis in the next month.

Enjoy the BW, I do miss the macro keys. It was pretty awesome.

Post by: jaynoon on Mon, 24 January 2011, 03:13:05: Hmm.. It just occurred to me that I could buy this, and replace the crappy Filco keys with the POM ones from the Razer. Font is a little funny, but by all accounts the keys are much nicer. Not that much more than the $50 or so the Ducky keys are going for, and I get a spare board full of blue switches.

Haven't been able to find a picture of anyone taking off any of the longer keys though..

UPDATE:
Ehh nevermind, looks like the code is dead.

Post by: funnyperson1 on Thu, 27 January 2011, 08:15:04: I've been lurking here, waiting for a good deal to pop up. I received the BlackWidow yesterday, and I am loving it. The keys have a nice light, yet tactile feel to them. While there is an auditory click with each keypress, it is not too loud. I should be able to take this into work as I had planned.

I'm testing this on my desktop at home where I temporarily swapped out my Model M, and surprisingly I don't miss it too much.

My gambling habit is now supporting my newly acquired keyboard taste. Sooooo.. until next win. :(

Post by: YetAnotherDeveloper on Thu, 27 January 2011, 12:24:22: I picked one up... I do like the keyboard and the ability to map keys and record macros is really nice; I do hate the glossy finish.

Cool. Welcome to Geekhack!

Thanks, I'll probably be posting more often, but I hope to resist the urge to spend more money on keyboards.

Post by: noodles256 on Mon, 31 January 2011, 10:29:00: i definately returned mine =/. i do like the blue switches, and it being my first mechanical keyboard. i think i will stick with blue, i love the noise it makes. however, the keyboard itself was not very good imo

Post by: Lethal Squirrel on Mon, 31 January 2011, 14:47:22: I agree with that. I don't really like the build quality of the black widow.
