Just a quick update for you guys on my Razer Black Widow Ultimate after having used it for four months. It should be noted that the stuff I use my keyboard for would include games that I play such as Starcraft 2 and COD Black Ops, as well typing out assignments.

These are just some of the issues that have been raised while browsing through this thread every so often that I would like to address.

1. Certain keys do not reproduce that consistent "click" sound as compared to other keys.
After having used my unit daily for four months, I can safely say that this has not been an issue for me. The blue switches still feel amazing to type on.

2. Keycaps wear and tear
The keycaps on my model still look pretty good. There has not been any signs of fading or wear on any of the keys. (even the WASD keys which I use on a regular basis)

3. Fingerprints
Well I think this is a given, as the gloss plastic that goes around the keyboard does prove to be a fingerprint magnet, especially for people with sweaty hands or particularly oily skin. One thing that should also be noted is that if you have oily fingers, or you've just touched your face and then started typing on your keyboard, you'll notice that the oil residue can sometimes show on the top of the keycaps. That being said, this problem can easily be resolved by simply wiping down the keyboard every so often with a microfibre cloth and it'll be good as new.

4. Ports
The ports on the side of the keyboard have not given me any issues from day one. The one that I would use on most occasions would be the headphone jack, and it has been a huge convenience for me every since I started using it, not compromising any sound quality whatsoever.

5. Backlight
Honestly, I think there is a certain class to the keyboard with its piano-black glossy finish. And this class is accented even more when the backlit keys are turned off. Maybe it's just a personal preference. But I haven't found myself using the backlit keys as often as I would. That being said, it's always nice to have that option available if I ever need it. And after a lot of daily typing on this keyboard, I must say that this has not caused any harm to the lights underneath the keycaps. The "gamer-blue" glow that Razer is so popularly known for shines through as good as any other Razer product.

I hope this quick review/update would have been of help to some of you out there who are still holding out or deciding if the Razer Black Widow Ultimate is the right keyboard for you. That being said, it's always best to get your hands on one and actually feel what typing on this badboy is like. As for me, I have no regrets whatsoever for picking it up!
