Title: Brown switches for BlackWidow Tournament Edition
Post by: Smeagol_RP on Mon, 03 December 2012, 06:51:50
Hey guys, I was wonder if I can replace the blue switches for the brown switches, so i wrote an email for QWERkeys and they sent me this picture about the models.

Does anybody know what part number exactly "fits" in this keyboard?

Edit: Well, according to DeskthorityWiki:


Okay it's plate mounted. Now I need to know, with or without diode?  What's the difference?:-X

Sounds easier if you just buy this http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-keyboards-keypads/razer-blackwidow-tournament-stealth-edition/

As for the diode thing I'm not sure, I always thought all MX Brown switches are all the same?

The switches are the same, however you can purchase switches with or without a diode pre-installed.  You can always put a diode in it if you end of needing that.

I read something about n-key rollover. In that case better buy all with diode.

Thanks.

Damn it  :'( And I searched about that after the announcement of the BWU 2013 Stealth. Well, thanks for the link, I think I'll stick with this for a while even not liking the mx blues.  :(
