23% plus everything else. Living in one of those welfare nations just isn't cheap.
Quality on that baby, how is it?
Like I said in the OP: "The BlackWidow seems pretty well made and is actually fairly heavy, but my Filco Tenkeyless is definitely better on the build quality front."
The BlackWidow is actually fairly heavy, but the shiny plastic and almost rubbery feeling to the keys makes it feel cheaper than it is IMHO. The font on the keycaps looks alright if you're twelve. Also, like previously stated the shinyness of the plastic is a major turnoff, for me anyway. It's a total fingerprint magnet. I'm not usually too much of a clean freak (my Filco Tenkeyless used to be FILTHY until recently), but I'm getting OCD all over this keyboard. They should supply a small microfiber cloth to wipe it with every five minutes. :tongue:
The braided cable seems well made as far as I can tell and is pretty long. The rubber stress relieving bit that it goes into to then go into the keyboard is sturdy and seems good. Even though I never use them on any keyboard, the feet seem alright and actually lift it a fair bit. OTOH the normal rubber feet on the bottom aren't very big at all -- which actually isn't an issue since the sheer weight of this keyboard means it hardly moves unless that's what you're actually trying to accomplish. Also, about the keys again (actually the switches) -- apparently uneven key feel is actually Razer's problem. "Cherry picked switches" my ass.
Overall the keyboard is actually well made I'd say, but because of the shiny plastic, the font on the keys and their almost rubbery feel I'd say my first impression is "meh."
More info later, going to the movies. The Adjustment Bureau looks like it'll be a decent movie.
