Agreed, the BlackWidow is definitely for those on budget or wants an eye-catching keyboard that is mechanical. Otherwise, the SteelSeries keyboards remains on top for performance and durability.

both using cherry, isnt it the same lifespan

not necessary.. its like saying, this chinese MPV has a Mitsubishi engine, won't it be the same as a another MPV that has the same engine?

now based on what we know i think the most worthy mech kb is blackwindow
anyway need wait until it release and see how the feedback
since lot ppl know razer quality control some time ehem^^

yeah, i'm totally agree with you. i bought razer lycosa mirror rma ed once, and i don't think the quality were that good. the keys some times stucked inside. i need to remove it and plug it back. i already have 2 keys facing this problem. although, this is consider as minor, but sometimes it gives the feeling of not really worth for that price tag.

Blackwidow eh?Will take a look.Any more recommendation?I have been eyeing the Steelseries 6Gv2 for a while...is it any good?btw budget between 300-350

Blackwidow ultimate, blackwidow standard, 6gv2 ,

aiya... if you drop it, smash it, burn it oso rosak beyond repair edi la~ not everything is built tough~

mostly depend on your luck... my Imperator, and Piranha never have any problems at all... it just depends on how you treat it~

for mechanical keyboard, i think it will heavily depends on manufacturer, if razer has it's own manufacturer, it's gameover for quality, as if he's getting a filco or cherry mechanical key manufacturer, then we will see good quality.

as for both appearance, if you want a more scratch-proof keyboard, choose steelseries. because i think the shiny part of razer blackwidow is gonna have some scratches over time.

yea the shiny its kinda like mirror from lycosa , always with the bling

Well, at least SteelSeries uses cherry black for maximum performance and durability. However, cannot deny that Razer is pretty much on cosmetic though.

indeed, if roccat bring cherry red GG for both

i will definitely buy even thou i already has SS 7G

Up your budget to 400 and you can snag a new 7G from Edifier's stock clearance.

yea i sell 7G for my case , go get the red cherry d, but sure hope only got wrist rest, and hope there is a company that brings in keyboard using red cherry.

Not willing to spend that much.Might consider Blackwidow because of the price

pros, i wanna know whether I should get a Cherry G80-3494 cherry red switch or a filco majestouch tactile touch cherry brown switch?
Heard that the filco's build is more sturdier but they got pad-printed keys while Cherry's G80 is lighter and features laser etched keys....
In a state of dilemma here....

cherry red...cherry red...cherry red

someone is bringing in ducky keyboard
