Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2016 or Razer Ornata Chroma

[Zenedge]

Currently have a razer blackwidow tournament edition 2014. and it served me well for the last 3 years.

so to start the new year. i decided to buy a new keyboard.

 

as of now, i'm deciding between the.....

Blackwidow Ultimate 2016

and

Ornata Chroma

 

both are the same price, so i'm not so sure which one to get.

the blackwidow has mechanical keys, but its lighting is only green

the ornata is only mecha-membrane keys (non-mechanical) but has full RGB

im looking for opinions on which one i should get.

 

And yes, it has to be razer. since my current mouse is the deathadder elite, and i want them to match . hahaha

I'd get the Ornata personally, I'm not a huge mechanical keyboard guy.

Blackwidow Ultimate.

 

srsly Razer is a ripoff pls don't buy if at all possible

bad customer service, scam warranty and uses clone switches

How about a real keyboard instead?

Maybe something from ducky or logitech or corsair?

I have tried ornata and it suprised me.

Strangely its so good to type on for a mem mech but yes its way too expensive u can buy a real mech keyboard for that price.

Dont be loyal to razer just because u own their mice.

Deathadder is by no mean a really good mouse but that doesnt mean u'll have to become a razer fanboy and start buying their product just to match your setup

Get  a mech keyboard from corsair their K70 LUX RGB offer a variety of cherryswitches and its a solid keyboard with tons of features.

The switches are fake, and so is most of the quality

Basically you mostly pay for the marketing and green LEDs targeting kids.

I have two Corsair keyboards - a K70 Vengence ( 2014 ) and a K70 Rapidfire RGB - both great keyboards with Genuine Cherry mx switches

I also have a new Blackwidow Chroma V2 with the new Greetech Green switches and I can honestly tell you there is NOTHING wrong with the new Greetech Razer Greens .

I have to admit that the Cherry MX switches do feel more sturdy with slightly less key wobble but the Greetech switches are miles better than the original Khail switches in the first gen Blackwidow Chroma keyboards.

I would recommend the new Blackwidow Chroma  V2 to anyone

The quality of the new Blackwidow Chroma V2 is right up there with the best - great design and great software - the keyboard feels solid and heavy and the switches have a very even feel and click right across the entire keyboard -

Time will tell if the switches hold up as well as the stated 80 million key presses but if they even last me a few years without crapping out like the original Khail Greens I'll be more than happy .

Great keyboard all around and a pleasure to type and game on -

but a word of advice - if you planning on just gaming a linear ( non - clicky ) switch might suit you better - especially for FPS type games - although I myself don't mind the clicky noise , if you gaming at night with other people close by they might complain as the Green switches are quite loud -

but the greens are by far the best typing experience and the most satisfying to use

I've used many types of switches but when I think mechanical I somehow associate that with Cherry MX blue and Razer Greens .

the click and tactile feel of the Blue / Green switches is what it's all about -

the ideal situation is to have a few keyboards and change them every few days to keep the typing / Gaming experience fresh

I myself have been changing keyboards every second day between the Rapidfire and the Blackwidow -

it's hard to pick a clear winner  - I love them all - one day I like clicky - the next - Rapidfire Linear -

No matter how good the meal - variety is what makes things interesting and alleviates boredom and routine  .
