Title: Razor BlackWidow Chroma - LED brightness, Profiles to Download, and Switch Force
Post by: dman777 on Sat, 11 October 2014, 22:42:39
I am thinking about getting the Razor BlackWidow Chroma, I was wondering if anyone could please tell me:

1) Are the LEDs as bright as Ducky Shine III?
2) Does Razor have a forum where I can see pre-programmed files profiles  and download like Corsair does? I googled around and couldn't find it
3) Do the green click switches have more force, less force, or equal force (requirement to press down) as the cherry blues? I know the click happens sooner, but I mean the actual force required to press.

I would recommend not getting a Razer.  They have a well-deserved reputation for selling overpriced junk that will develop faults within the first year of use (not just their keyboards but everything they sell).  Their mechnical keyboards don't even use Cherry switches but a cheap knock-off brand instead.  You can find a much better keyboard for the same price as the Razer Chroma.

No idea about number 1 or 2, but I've heard for 3 that it's basically a crapshoot. I've got one friend who's kailh blues have no tactility, and another who's ones are as stiff as cherry greens.

It's Razer, not Razor.

And buy something else.
