hi all .. planning to get razer blackwidow here.. any1 experiencing issues with adapting to the weird keyboard layout of razer bw? i heard that the left side of the board is "shorter" to accomodate the macro keys

Added on August 14, 2012, 9:50 amdepends on what grip style u use bro , lachesis forces the user to palm it because of its longer design and impossible for fingertip style, but if u are the fingertip or claw grip style i suggest you go for taipan (really, go for one that suits ur grip style, you wont regret choosing the 1 which is right for ur grip style)

haha sorry i din knew about that. guess i have to readapt to the new layout

Any1 who own blackwidow's mind sharing their experience with it? like how long you've owned it and issues with is etc etc

agree .. unless its gloss finish not matte

nice deathstalker, laptop styled keys not bad too. too bad the price is almost rm 500 difference for the switchblade screen

some ppl might prefer laptop styled keys for typing .. but then for the non ultimate version .. at least got few macro keys unlike lycosa .. maybe got tri-color lighting oso like the ultimate 1

damn that blackwidow looks damn nice

mirror? how the coating peel off, isn't it gloss? haha

the 2013 version of blackwidows are all all in matte, no more gloss. so the difference of bwus and bwu 2013 is the switches and the color of led, as well as led intensity (the area around the keycaps are alot brighter for 2013 bwu)

(gotta admit it looks very cool though )

imo mamba is a good mouse, but not for that kind of price

same shape, same ergo, 2 buttons less, less the wireless option, less the dpi's. but i would say DA has better tracking if you are using it under 2000 dpi. the sensors used in mamba have known z-axis issues (doesn't happen to my orochi though, same brand of sensor with mamba but different models).

i just uninstalled synapse for my bw expert. turning my non caps to caps and shift isn't working. i wonder why

probably Q1 2013 then :/. would really love to try ds expert once it's here

well.. for me,
pros:
-detachable cable
-smaller form factor
-matte finish
-the price
-braided cables

subjectives,
-tenkeyless
-green led
-blue switches
-font used
-shorter layout? windows key seems smaller

i don't think cons are needed as they are rather subjective as suggested above. those are all my personal opinions so some will not agree or completely disagree with me.

and i'll be getting one of this once i get rid of my current blackwidow expert

what's important is the type of your grip too. orochi for finger grips, naga for claw grips, lachesis/da for palm grips, some do claw their da and orochi though . naga is actually smaller than da, have looked at naga hex?

you won't go wrong with it if you don't need numpad , it's a good deal at that price point.

Added on October 16, 2012, 8:35 amfirst of all do you really need a wireless mouse? you could take a look at razer da which spots the same shape as mamba with mamba being slightly flatter. i have orochi black chrome but it attracts too much fingerprint. and a thing to consider, if you decide to run it on battery, x2 AA batteries will bring it's weight over 18x gram which is quite heavy to operate and lift the mouse due to it's size.

i think its the same, razer won't produce another set of plastic just because it's on different model, they're all in matte finish

not really suited for fps games but the others you mentioned, yeah.

nice one, congrats on ur purchase

da have one of the best optical sensors out there , no worries, people usually complain abt imperator/mamba sensors only

razer synapse messed up my keys last time, had to uninstall. now not using drivers

not sure lol, one day i switched on my pc as usual and it just went crazy

Right mouse for the right hand - Razer

^ according to razer website deathadder is for claw grip, i'm clawing my friend's da quite well too
