Thank's everyone for the warm welcome! I will post some pics in another thread, might even do an overall review of all the keyboards together. Interestingly enough, the one keyboard that I planned on keeping for sure, the Duck Shine Year of the Dragon w/ Cherry MX Blues w/ Blue LEDs is the one I will be returning. To me it felt like the cheapest of the bunch. I didn't feel like the blue's felt like they were brand new, felt like they were worn in somehow. I dare even say I liked the feel of the blue's on the Razer BWU 2013 I am also returning! They just weren't clicky enough for blues in my opinion. Also my "O" switch doesn't click at all, which I know it's only one key, but it's a primary key, not like it's in the cluster above the arrow keys that no one uses. I mean it's supposed to be "brand new" and it's also a limited edition. If I were wanting to just shelve it and sell it later on then come to find out the "O" key doesn't work right after no use I'd be pretty ticked. Good news though is I like all the other keyboards. The Reds are just amazing
and are probably my favorite. It is really like typing on boobs. They just flow so nicely and are also great to type on. I also really like the browns and I am alternating the two frequently. I like to use the browns if I'm not gaming and doing more typing. The blacks are ok, I would definitely use blacks over a rubber dome or scissor switch board any day. I think the blacks would take awhile to get used to but still a pretty good key especially for gaming especially if you're prone to accidental key presses.
@hazeluff Yeah I really wanted to like the Razer BWU 2013. I mean it's a great concept for a keyboard and really appeals to gamer's. If the quality was that of a Filco, Ducky, DAS etc. then I'd probably consider buying another one. But there's also some other things to consider. Their Razer Synapse 2.0 software is known for not respecting user privacy at all and basically says they can sell your info from what I've read. And they market the keyboard for gamer's obviously, yet their flagship model has cherry mx blue's? That doesn't make a whole lot of sense. At least SteelSeries uses Blacks for their gaming keyboards. (IMO Reds>Browns/Blacks>Blues for gaming.) I will give Razer that they do offer the Stealth edition with browns and but you have to buy it exclusively through Razer therefore cannot get an extended warranty from a website like NewEgg.com And Razer isn't known for their superior customer satisfaction. Glad I bought mine from NewEgg. They do also offer a TKL tournament edition. Anyway, it's just kind of sad to see right now that a company with so much potential cares more about making a buck than making quality products. Basically making their customers buy a keyboard after the warranty expires on it. Also kind of scary that it's still so popular because many people don't do enough research. Still a top seller on Amazon.com Anyway, enough of that rant.
