That's a BWU mod lol.

I'm about to get my first mechanical keyboard, and my preferred switch type is the mx blue..

The thing is i've got plenty of offers for the razer bwu and the cm storm quickfire rapid..kinda stuck on choosing one..the blackwidow ultimate is a used unit and the cm storm is brand new,so both around the same price.. anyone can help??

If you're not worried about QC problem from Razer, you may go for Razer BWU, or else go for the CM storm quick fire rapid if you doesn't mind the lack of numeric pad, good thing is its brand new.

The backlight is kinda enticing..I've heard of qc problems from razer,but the cm storm doesnt have any qc problems?

Thinking of getting 2nd hand BWU, what are the common QC problems of BW?

I would avoid Razer's at all cost.

Razer BWU's QC problem is more frustrating as it affects the usability of the board... try to youtube for BWU's problem, see the problem yourself.

Yeah, I've heard of keys sticking, on and off key working and many others.. looks like i'll stick with the cmstorm just to be safe.. maybe one day upgrade to the HHKB..haha

Yar, it fail some of the simplest combination such as ZXC and 3 arrow keys...
BTW, heard that BWU Stealth is true 6KRO, not too sure.

Added on March 31, 2012, 8:09 pmIt is a no brainer. Go for CM Storm Quickfire, far more "gaming" than BWU does(shorter size for nearer mouse, true NKRO and 6KRO, and so on).

The cheapest price for CM Storm I heard around here is RM22x. I doubt BWU can reach something near it...

Thinking of vinyl wrapping the cm storm and changing the keycaps to look like this:

any idea where to get the keycaps other than wasdkeyboards or elitekeyboards? not sure if they are engraved or lasered

you may also consider Ducky Shining series too~
Quality certified, and has varies type of back lid color for you to choose

don't get BWU, furthermore its second hand

avoid BWU, unless its BWUS

Now I understand what you mean when you say TROLL height keycaps last time.

They aren't original cherry height right?

They are gonna abandon all the old production line for original cherry height keycaps?

Probably won't. So far Cherry G80-3800 are Asia only item and made in China(previously all Cherry board made in Czech or Germany).
Some people suggested that Cherry G80-3800 is just to fill the role in low end segment, while 3000 served for mid end and 11900/1865 as high end. It is because 3000 are seriously overpriced in Asia market...

just drop by and ask, is ducky wristrest ready for collection jor? two month ago, someone stated it will be ready to collect during early of march right? now alrdy april liao lo

I thought recently announced that there is a change in design? So the date being postponed...
