Is the Black Widow as good as other cherry blues?
« on: Thu, 27 January 2011, 11:10:17 »
I have had the black widow for about a month now and i haven't really used it much. i've been using a Filco with cherry browns and it feels way nicer. all the videos and sound clips i've heard of cherry blues sound better than mine, more clicky and crisp sounding. mine sound like crap. I want to order a rosewill rk-9000 or find a filco somewhere to see if they are better. but i don't know, it might all be in my head :crazy:

I'm going to put up a audio clip of it soon so you can hear how it sounds.

i purchased a blackwidow on sale @ newegg to keep busy while i wait for EK to get the Leopold in stock. I havent used other mechanical keyboards so i cannot compare them but to tell the truth i really like the keyboard so far besides the glossy finish.  I might change my tune when i pick up a leopold.

if you believe razer "cherry picks" blues to their requirements, then maybe...

I really hated the BlackWidow. The font totally threw me. I had to double take on the keys just recognise the letters.

The keys themselves are too shallow for my liking. And they feel too close together in some way for comfort. Though I'm not sure if this is true.

I tried but just couldn't actually type on it.

Also I couldn't play games on it as the keys felt slippy in an odd way.

The build quality seemed to be fine though. Nice and solid.
