So first my short history of owning a mechanical keyboard: I got my Razer Black Widow Ultimate two days ago and dazzled by the sheer awesomeness of this whole new input experience I didn't notice some defects on the board. Now I'm going to return the keyboard because of the poor quality of the coating on some keys and two *-keys in the numpad.
And now is my question whether I should give Razer a new try (because the keyboard itself is awesome) or if I should rather go for a Das Keyboard Model S (Although it has not all the cool features of the Black Widow like the illumination or the advanced driver, I'd rather go for good build quality than bling-bling).
The price itself would make no difference because both keyboards are here 129,99€ (the Das Model S Ultimate 119,99€). Rationally considered the BWU would offer more features for the same price, but in my sight it is a no-go for such an expensive product having flaws I'd only expect from a 10€ cheap ass rubber dome keyboard.
Mainly I use my keyboard for typing but also for gaming. Is the Das Keyboard really better for typing than other mechanical keyboards? Because that is what a guy in a video comparison of some mechanical keyboards mentioned.
Considering the fact that problems with the build quality of the BW(U) are quite common I would rather tend to buy a Das Keyboard but on the other hand I really started liking my BW(U)...
HELP! :(
You could get a deck. They're more, but have backlighting.
Only OCN truly hates the BWU. And Human I think has some autosearch thing turned on because he's hatin' in anything that says Razer. Never did see what the big deal was here. (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?15628-Help-me-Buy-Entry-Level-Blue-Switch&p=301264&viewfull=1#post301264)
Ouch, that's unfortunate. I wouldn't buy the bwu because of the coated keycaps. It's the same coat which they use on the keycaps of the lycosa an they wear off pretty fast (first signs after 3 months using it). But you can go wrong with the standard bw, if you don't need nkro or 6kro. They even use 1.5 sized modifier, so you can switch to winkeyless cherry doubleshots.
I think you meant can't?
Damn, that gives me inspiration. Group Key Buy needs a Tie-Dyed Peace Sign!Show Image(http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/387973/387973,1267741993,1/stock-photo-keyboard-with-peace-and-love-symbol-on-rainbow-background-internet-web-communication-of-pacifist-47960617.jpg)
