Title: Fry's Blackwidow at $59.99 again this weekend
Post by: Bear715 on Fri, 01 July 2011, 20:12:56

Hey I just read in the paper that they are having the regular razer blackwidows again for $59.99.  It seems online they still have it at regular price so i think it is instore pickup.

I need more computers to justify my desire to buy more keyboards, even though the BW doesn't exactly thrill me in a lot of ways (keycap font is probably #1) just to try blue switches this sounds enticing.

If all you have is browns (bleh) then yeah, you need to try other stuff.

actually i went into frys to pick up the keyboard but I asked a guy working there if he could just pull it out so that I could feel the keys.  He didn't seem to mind at all and it was just a little pull of the tap in order to get access to the keys.  I basically came away thinking that I didnt really like the feel of the blues so I didn't get it.

I think this is a really good opportunity to at least try the switch to see if you like both the layout and the feel of the keys.

Might have to stop by Fry's to check out the Blues..Hopefully they have a display. If not might have to pick one up to just try it out.

This is what happens when your waiting for your filco Cherry Brown MX's to come in from amazon ... =P
