Not "great" deals, and most everything is refurbished, but on the off chance it might pique somebodies interest. . .

"The Razer BlackWidow’s mechanical key technology provides a distinctive tactile feedback in form of a light pronounced tap to your fingers giving you an entirely new feel on your keyboard. With its optimized actuation force of 50g and a reduced actuation distance of 2 mm the Razer BlackWidow’s keys allow you to actuate your commands faster than on any other standard gaming keyboard."

sounds like Blues but it's weird they don't say that it clicks. I thought Browns but those are 45g

I love my mx518, I don't think I'll ever have to buy another mouse ever again. I tried my friend's deathadder and it just feels plastic-y and kinda flimsy.

All razers kb are blues unless they have stealth in the title, then they're browns

Gaming... lol. They are pretty amazing for MMOs and you can even use them for FPS.

I used mine for Minecraft. It was very nice to add a bit of a curve instead of a flat board. MMO's would be difficult to use them for as people typically like more macros, at least in my experience. (Which my experience is about 20 hours on WoW during a weekend using his Nostromo.)

Lolwat are you serious? You can bind more stuff to them than just the exact number of keys it has...

I realize that, but some of the bottom keys were uncomfortable to reach for me. I preferred having an actual keyboard for MMOs, personally.

Really? I have pretty petite, child-like hands and they weren't that bad for me. I have to remove the palm rest on my Belkin N52TE gaming keypad to comfortably reach the keys at the top though.

To each his or her own, though. I like having the convenience of everything bound to the gaming keypad and having it more easily reachable as well as using the thumbpad for movement instead of WASDing. I also bind my push-to-talk button for Ventrilo on it too. I've got mine bound for basically every in game action possible, with probably a few exceptions. I really only use keyboard to type in game chat.

G400 and G500 Godly status. I have both and use a different mouse based on what I'm doing or what game I'm playing :P
