So I have been given a green light to purchase a mechanical keyboard. I am looking at Black Widow Ultimate Stealth because of the brown switches. I didnt like cherry blue because of the "click" sound is annoying me and the double tapping will be quite tricky on it. I personally tried the blue switches on my friend's BWU but I have yet to try browns.
I game a lot and occasionally type reports when doing work at home. Any feedback from the "brown" guys?
they have been accepted as an all rounder, typical "starter switch", but dont get the BWU, get ducky, leoplold or filco etc, razer has inconsistent quality over their boards
if want backlight, will be ducky or race, or HHKB
I am trying to avoid Razer as well, but they are the only one offering mech keyboards with Macro keys (I don like Corsair K60/90) which i use quite a lot. The BWU indeed has a lot of problems but the newer batch now seems to be fine.
some info regarding the sound made by Cherry MX Blue mechanical switches.
The click sound is made by the switch mechanism. This cannot be silented with o-ring.
whereas, the clack sound is made when you bottoming the keys. This sound can be silented with o-ring. by the way, all of the MX switches can make this sound, or should I say everyone can make this sound if they bottom out the keys.
take note about this.
here's a video on how o-ring works on different switches
