Is it possible to change keys razer blackwidow tournament?
« on: Fri, 20 September 2013, 16:00:54 »
Is it possible to change the order of the keys in the razer blackwidow tournament to go from qwerty to dvorak layout?

How it sounds this keyboards with o-rings.

can be easily done thru a software, but you wont be able to swap the caps since they are different rows/heights.

It doesn't have a USB pass through. Only one USB port at the back, which is for power. I own one.

You can change the keys to whatever you want in Synapse. Too bad that Synapse is a piece of **** most of the time and loves disconnecting for no reason. The latest update seems to have helped though in all fairness.

Do you advise me buying this keyboard, or a Leopold keyboard, or a KBT pure are much better?

I spend all day in the computer, every day... And I use a ruber dome keyboard. At the end of the day my hands are tired and the muscles are sore. Is it really true that the MX blues are much better for writing and less tiring?

Do not get the BlackWidow - there are so many reports of problems with them.

Leopold is good, but depending on which one you get you might have trouble getting replacement keycaps, or at least finding a replacement space bar.

In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

get a switch tester from wasdkeyboards. That way you will find out which switch suits you the best. Also what's your budget?

Just programming and writing - MX blue would be good, if you don't mind the audible feedback (the click as you press each key).

If you don't need the numeric keypad, consider getting a TKL (tenkeyless) board - they are slightly cheaper and replacement keycap sets are also slightly cheaper.  Plus they free u pa little bit of desk space so your mouse can be a little closer to the centre of your body, which is fantastic!

Go for a CM QFR if you don't want backlighting, or a Ducky Shine (TKLs coming out soon) if you want backlighting.

There are a few others - KeyCool is also popular, but not as easy to get.  A 60% layout (e.g. Leopold FC660M) might be a bit of a shock if you are used to separate function keys.
