The Black Widow is the only one with side Macro Buttons right?

I've been looking at the Corsair Vengeance K90 (http://www.corsair.com/vengeance-k90-performance-mmo-mechanical-gaming-keyboard.html) myself.  18 macro keys on the left and Cherry Red keys.  I might just buy one to strip out the keyswitches since this is the cheapest I've found them at so far.  lol

He's right. Not accounting for shipping, they're about 2 cents cheaper on the Leopold.

Technically speaking if he just wants the switches at a cost per switch standpoint the corsair would be better just because it has more switches.

I thought I read somewhere the macros weren't mechanical. Haven't really paid attention to the lay out, but aside from the macros isn't it just a standard 104 keyboard?

Unless I'm totally mistaken, if so you are correct.

I bought one so I'd have a nondescript mechanical at work.  Considering i'm emailing and doing data entry all day, it's held up really well and i haven't had any issues.  though i do notice that some keys click quieter than others, like the 8 key on the 10key is quieter than the rest of the keys.  beats typing on that crappy scissor switch 2$ piece of door stop that they had at the desk when i started.

I haven't seen a pic or anything proving it, nor do I care to look. Baseless assumptions because the only things that look like not standard switch keys on the thing look like buttons you'd find on a remote control.

But yes, going off topic is simply human nature.
