Huntsman elite vs Blackwidow elite

A1_Steak_Sauce

I need advice on which one to get (the blackwidow will have green switches). Best buy has a sale at the moment where the huntsman elite is $169.99 and the blackwidow elite is $134.99.

Since the huntsman is only $169.99 i'm kind of torn whether or not to get it over the blackwidow

If youre fine with Razers mediocre QC and their "gamer tax" then I'd go with the black widow. Fair warning though, the green switches are loud as fuck

I say no to Razer. Terrible products and terrible customer service.

You need to just try them out side by side. In general I prefer clicky tactile switches so I have a bunch of Cherry MX blue switch keyboards, and after reading the reviews of the Huntsman Elite I decided to pick one up.

 

It is by no small margin the most comfortable keyboard to type on that i've ever found (from a key press perspective). If they ever make a copy of Microsoft's Ergonomic 4000 design but with these switches I will have found my perfect keyboard.
