Got my blackwidow ultimate today. I fell in love with the blue LEDs, not the new green ones. They didn't have the windows key layout in stock for the original BW ultimate so I went with the mac version. Works well on windows 7 professional, although it's not stated on the box. At times like this I appreciate having a smartphone with 3G connection for fast lookups.



Full story on the mechanical keyboard topic

Tried the mx browns bro, the store had the stealth editions on display and the browns just lost the charm (of what makes mechanical keyboards special) since the clickety experience of the mx blues ( that tactile feedback complete with sound) are what made me fell in love with mechanical keyboards in the first place.

I just HAD to get the mx blues. The browns were definitely not up to my taste. I can see why some people would prefer to get the stealth edition though. I live alone in my room so there's no roomate to get disturbed with the sound of the keyboard.

The only thing that might be bothered are my friends over VoIP when we play starcraft 2 together later on. I might need to find some way to filter the keyboard noise through the mic. Or maybe the sound won't reach through the mic, who knows?

I used to be a fan of silent efficient scissors type of keyboards, but then I never thought keyboard clickety sounds can be so exciting to hear. It's nothing like the cheaper keyboards sounds I grew up listening.

if I didn't have my audio technicas already......

It's the command key. I found this video that might show the keyboard better

No problem with razer synapse here. Made my account without issues.

I used to use an abyssus but now upgraded to logitech G500. My razer synapse is for my Blackwidow Ultimate mac edition.

My razer abyssus suffered a mouse scroll issue , no time to try to fix it yet. It's not being used like a desktop mouse though, with how I keep bringing it to work and the unpacking and packing are no good on the wires. I can feel it slowly wearing out. First the soft-touch coating starts to wear out, then I used thinner to clear it out.



My razer blackwidow ultimate on the other hand, still performs well after months of punishment....
