Ripped from SD obviously. Still the best deal around for a plate mounted MX Blue switch board.

Wow, that's even cheaper than a Rapoo v7.

I just ordered a Cherry G80-3000LSCRC-2 for not much more. I would go with one of these over a blackwidow any day of the week.

Like I told you, PCB mounted vs. plate mounted: huge difference right there.

Yeah, but there are QC issues with the Blackwidow. I had one. I wasn't happy with it. One of the stabilizers was very stiff, apparently its a common issue. I'm not so sure that its an actual cherry corp stabilizer but I have no proof to back that up. Its just what I saw. There also seems to be quite a few reports of the BW kicking the bucket a little early. On the other hand it is a popular keyboard so there are bound to be more issues reported. The layout isn't exactly standard. I'm not fond of the glossy finish. I'm also not a fan of the font.

Its not just a plate vs pcb thing for me. Still not a bad deal at all. This is about what I sold my blackwidow for used.

True but there is still that stigma about certain Razer products. The lycrosa is famous for its qc issues. I've had good luck with the deathadder but there are a lot more reports on the forums of razer mice kicking the bucket than logitech. Thats at least how it appears to me. That kind of skews my opinion a bit too.
