Razer Blackwidow Ultimate Stealth or Logitech G710+?

[ELxJUSTINO]

Hello guys!

This is my first actual post here, but I was hoping for some opinions.

I want/"need" a new mechanical keyboard. I have a keyboard with blue switches now, but they're too loud to use at night and not particularly fun to game with. I've narrowed my search to to keyboards, both about $100 on Amazon: the Razer Blackwidow Ultimate Stealth, and the Logitech G710+. I am familiar with the differences in switches and have "used" both keyboards in the past (while i worked at Best Buy). I like them both very much.

 

So my question is what anyone's experience with these keyboards has been, or any thoughts about them.

 

Thank you very much! (Also, if my posting habits can be improved in any way, please do not hesitate to offer advice)

oh, wow that's something I hadn't thought of. I probably won't end up using it but it can't hurt to have.

@ELxJUSTINO I have the Razer Blackwidow Ultimate Stealth and I love it. It's my first mechanical keyboard, so I've never actually used a real MX-Brown switch. So I can't comment on the keyboard in that regards

 

Overall I REALLY like the keyboard. I make use of the built in USB port daily, and the Razer drivers are really nice to work with. I've got a different profile setup for nearly every game I play, and I mapped the macro keys to switch profiles easily. I even use them to switch profiles on my mouse.

 

when playing battlefield I prefer a slower DPI when sniping, I also want the back button on my mouse to spot players, and the forwards button to swap to my pistol when I'm sniping, and throw grenades otherwise. So I setup two profiles for each situation and I mapped each profile to the same macro key. That way I have one button I push to flip back and forth between the two situations.

 

If I had any gripes, it would be with the Razer synapse drivers...which I just complimented above lol

 

Synapse supports auto-switching profiles based upon a program running in the foreground. So when you open game X, X profile is loaded onto the device. In theory it's great, but in practice it doesn't work 100% of the time.

 

All in all, I'd say it's a solid 9/10 for me.

I'd rather choose neither but if these were the only options I would choose the logitech keyboard because it's not razer.
