QUOTE(davey.havok @ Dec 2 2015, 02:50 PM) Welcome. You're gonna meet a lot of snobs in this thread who think Razer sucks, but I personally think the BW TE is a good product. Thank you. Honestly, I don't know much about mechanical keyboards. That's why I went with the Blackwidow Tournament Edition as it is small (lack of space on my table cause I play FPS games and I take it seriously so I need a bigger space for my mouse compared to keyboard) and I have friends who used this for a year and had no problems with it.That's not to say there aren't better choices available out there though. Looking forward to be active in this thread and learn more about mechanical keyboards. |

Hello. I'd like to ask, anyone knows if it is possible to attach a wrist rest on a keyboard that doesn't come with one?
I'm using the Razer Blackwidow Tournament Edition (tenkeyless) |

QUOTE(TiF @ Dec 4 2015, 05:00 PM) Problem is the Razer Blackwidow comes with a slight curved edge, not like a flat surface. That's why. I'm wondering if there's any 3rd party wrist rest. Maybe one that you can just put closely with the laptop. Since it's a mechanical keyboard, doubt it would move much. Pretty heavy anyways. This post has been edited by Besanth: Dec 5 2015, 02:02 AM |

Any of you know whether Cherry MX switches and Razer's Kailh switches have identical keycaps? If so, can they be interchanged?
Also, if they are, anyone knows where I can get some unique keycaps for my Razer Blackwidow? |

QUOTE(Wilson0011 @ Dec 12 2015, 09:34 AM) Depends on what your budget is.Also, if you look thoroughly, sometimes you find people selling mechanical keyboards RM60 up to RM100 cheaper than others. This post has been edited by Besanth: Dec 12 2015, 04:01 PM |

Hi, does anyone know where I can get a wrist rest without shipping it from overseas?
I see most recommendations in here are from China websites. |

QUOTE(rurushu @ Dec 16 2015, 09:56 AM) been using blues ever since tried it the first time... tried browns before, but it just felt.... "something-is-amiss" or "unfulfilling" I think the nicest to type on would be either red/blue. Browns give a too weird membrane-ish feel to it. Slightly more not-so mechanical feel than reds.For me, reds & blues are the best feeling switches. |

QUOTE(rurushu @ Dec 16 2015, 10:26 AM) +1 Yeah. Reds are nice, but I've always preferred the clicky sounds. I tried a few keyboards out, but I got the Razer Blackwidow with the green clicky switches. Honestly, I feel like they're a great feel for typing & gaming. They give you the satisfying clicky noise that blue switches does and it gives you responsive clicks like reds do.I think our preferences are similar, I also think reds are nice to type also, blacks are too heavy, green i tried yesterday, it was very tactile and clicky, but also heavier than blues, not quite suitable for long typing session use, but i think will be good for gaming browns to me felt like... "scratchy", i know it is supposed to be "tactile" but to me it just felt like that... hahah |

QUOTE(-Hzu- @ Dec 16 2015, 04:23 PM) Don't get confused with the actual Cherry MX Green switch, as they are in no way fun for gaming and is probably the heaviest switch out there. But it like them the most, and I use it for both gaming and typing. Yeah. I wasn't comparing the MX Greens and Razer's Green switches. I was merely saying that the Razer's Green switches are like a hybrid of the Cherry MX Blue clickyness and Cherry MX Red responsiveness. The Green on the Blackwidow is a variant of the Cherry MX Blue, they should feel almost the same. |

QUOTE(-Hzu- @ Dec 20 2015, 06:46 PM) Probably not on some, like the bottom row? I use the Blackwidow quite frequently but I can't really remember. That was my main concern as well. A lot of people said buttons like the CTRL, Windows, ALT, Spacebar and stuff are not matching for the Blackwidow and other Cherry MX compatible switches. |
