 Never question Razer! They are all knowing pros who never get anything wrong. Only the best.

				What switches are these? 
 
 Tempting.

 I believe they are Blues. Stealth would be Browns.
- 
				For an intro into mechanical boards, $40 ain't too bad.  (Still hate that bottom row though).
 
 You could do a lot worse:

				What in the hell is that monstrosity?
			
- 
				Just an FYI, this looks to be US only. It's asking me for my State when I try to add an address.
			
- 
				Would buy if they were blacks. I'm honestly complexed by Razer, they try to go with the gamer stereotypes so much, but put blue/brown switches in their kbs over black/reds?

 Thanks for the information :) Will update OP!

 I think there was a thermaletake board on sale recently with blacks that was only around $40.

 Yep. Sold out before I could grab :( If I can justify the ergodox price I'll be getting it in blacks.

				To mention ergodox on a thread discussing the blackwidow is a travesty!  ;D ;D ;D
 
 No one talks about Bentleys on a thread discussing Honda Civics!
 
 Can I interest you in swapping your ergodox for a 2010 Razer Blackwidow?  ;D ;D ;D Be happy to pay shipping both ways!
- 
				So do they actually replace the stock springs?? or I wonder if they bought enough to get cherry to do it?
			
- 
				Blues have 50g actuation force normally.  Browns and reds: 45g. I don't think they've changed anything--just marketing words to make their stuff seem special.

 Oh ok. I thought they were trying to say there blue's were different.
- 
				WTF out of stock?

 Someone said (different thread) another Razer model was quoted to have 45g actuation force but had Blues.  I hadn't checked it myself, but Razer does love putting Blues everywhere ;)

 Compared to anything Razer has put out..  the ERgodox is an Ffffing Deathstar...
 
 the Razer is a tricycle with a dildo for a seat. I can't argue that it appeals to certain crowds.

 Tends to happen with a crazy good deal ;)
- 
				Bummer, tried to order last night on my phone and was having to go through like 12 steps just to order...said I'd do it today, and now its gone. 
 
 Oh well.

 I dunno mate, my Razer was my introduction to the mechanical keyboard world. I'm not one for any of that garbage, gamer branding with LEDs everywhere. I ended up painting the case of my Blackwidow purple because that gloss finish they put on it was disgustingly tacky... and then harvested it's switches when I decided it's existence in my home was a little below me. But let's be real here, the whole tricycle with a dildo analogy kind of falls over when you stop and think that most of the people buying these Blackwidows have never owned a mechanical keyboard before. To upgrade from a disgusting, spongy, generic board to a low end mech board is kind of a miracle to those experiencing it. If you can go ahead and link us all to a higher quality board being sold at $40 then you'll be my personal messiah.
