from razer fb.
Razer The gears are in motion for a mechanical future. 18.08.2010.

what else can it be if its mechanical? a pencil?

nah they cant turn back else i go there burn their office
but all i can say is probability my 7G might get relegated to the reserves...
tho looks like it'll be awhile before my xai and sib v2 gets demoted...

i dont like kb's with extra keys on the left side

if the video not there anymore means someone at razer got to it
http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/ogOhm7oPgwA/

hopefully, but somehow im guessing blue...have to wait and see.

btw, seems mechanical kbs arent fully fault-free...found some bad reviews of the majestouch...including this video which shows something similar to a double-click.
good thing my 7G is fault-free, have to wait and see how razer's one is

even ferraris and lamboghinis breakdown once in awhile

while razer was transporting stuff from SG to gamescom Germany, one of the boxes fell off the plane mid-air and landed in my front yard.

actually once reach here will be around RM289 / 299.
the one with backlight will be RM90 - 100 more expensive, so somewhere around RM389 / 399.

trying to?
it already raped the 6Gv2 price

pressing keys repeatedly is still ok.
so far, with just simple tests like continuously hitting space followed by a letter, its slightly more accurate than the 7G at however fast i can go which on a good day can hit over 100wpm.

i guess when it says not really meant for gaming, its mostly due to the key clicks which you can also feel compared to the smoothness of the 7G cherry blacks.
but then it also doesnt really require much difference in force to press the keys between the two kbs.

btw, what custom switch? i dont see a mention of it anywhere.

there is a function key to switch to gaming mode, which basically just disables the windows key.
SS meanwhile just puts the windows key beside the Right Ctrl key away from your WASD hand.

so yea, design wise in terms of the window key, it's probably a tie somewhat.
but the blackwidow may just get back some fans who prefer a rectangular Enter key so that they may also have a longer Backspace key.
the 7G as can be seen has a L-shaped Enter key which makes the Backspace smaller, which some just do not like.

as for the macros on the blackwidow, i dont use macros so wouldnt know what to place in it...
so needless to say, those 5 special macro keys running down the left side irritate me.
anyway, cant do any macros yet as razer hasnt uploaded the drivers

should be, latest also probably early oct here.

well like razer already says in that site, with mech keys u do not need to bottom it out to activate the letter regardless if its blue or black.
but since there is no 'click' in the blacks etc, most users will bottom the whole key out as they want to be sure the key has activated...i also sometimes tend to do that with my 7G.
the 'click' btw is about halfway to the bottom.
guess thats why cherry blues are better for typing, so for those who need to mash alot of buttons, like RTS guys etc, it may benefit them more.
which i guess explains why it also has macro keys.
so to a FPS guy like me, all of it doesnt really matter


i still dont see a mention of the word 'custom' anywhere.
unless ur talking about them calling the cherry blues their own key which i agree is bs.

first one is the belkin n50.
belkin also had a 'gaming' mouse back then which failed horribly.

i dont think anyone ever carried the mouse, but the n50 way back then already i see in SG stores for under RM300...maybe its still lying around in the same stores

my team just won 8 units of microsoft x6 from a competition...but i dont think i wanna use it...7G ftw

bad company 2...didnt win la...team ended up 3rd...
so the x6's will be distributed among others in the team who dont have proper keyboards

razer blackwidow is not cheaper, the rest are all marked up too much
and its NKRO, blackwidow is 6-keys max...reason cos it uses USB so can take advantage of having drivers to use macros etc which is what makes it more gamer-centric.
but anyway, the blackwidow is using cherry blues...so right now the SS 6gv2 is your best choice.

Imo its all a bunch of marketing bs...they can also claim it was 3yrs in development...
i tried the prototype blackwidow and i can say it looks more like 3days in development
And from the first released details ppl already guessed it was cherry blues based on the actuation force data released...only later did they officially announce they were blues...
anyway i'll stick to my 7G blacks...
But the blackwidow is still a good buy for the specs etc.

thats a stupid review, looks more like camwhoring.
and he obviously doesnt have the drivers either.
well, at least it helped in wasting 8 minutes of my life while waiting for the 2nd half of the england vs switzerland match to start

my advice - stay away from it
i remember during a pcfair couple yrs ago, microsoft or one of the booths were clearing it for RM50.

how much is it selling in that store? whatever price it is better save up abit more and wait for the razer blackwidow which should be RM299.
