to decide between the 7G and the BlackWidow is simple, which would you prefer, cherry MXblack switches, or the cherry MXblue switches.
if you dont know what they are, please refer to google or the mechanical keyboard thread since they have more information regarding what is a mechanical keyboard.

Indeed, Cherry blue is ranked as the most not suitable cherry switch for gaming. Somemore, cherry blue will also face some problem to double tab keys. Though, cherry blue is ranked as most suitable for typist(which like clicky sound).

If you are confuse why 7G is so ex, there are still other option of mechanical keyboard out there(from foreign country) that have the option of black,blue and brown switch at a price cheaper than 7G. 7G is ex for it's brand and ''gaming''.

If you can read Chinese, look here for some idea of the price different between mechanical kb

The currency used is taiwan's currency.

Brown is also quite famous among gamer. Red is also very attractive but no much outside there(even import also no much). About clear i dont have much info on it.
This is the simplest guide that i can found.

Haha.. im using 7G myself and loving it.. Prefer 7g over BW, is the switches(its blue~ actually i dun really like the clicky noise)..

But 7G for some people will be overpriced. But you can always get 6GV2 which is using Cherry MX Black switches too.

been using my 7G for a yr already and i've never once used its usb port or headphone jack.
my headphones are plugged into an external audio hub so i can switch between headset and speakers easily.

then again, the wrist rest that comes with the 7G is very useful

Most of 7G user chosen 7G instead of 6Gv2 is because of the wrist rest.
