Gaming keyboard help!

[Nick Burkart]

Hey! I'm using a normal 30 dollar keyboard for gaming and I don't know anything about keyboards. I have the naga 2014 for mouse. I would like to stay the same color . And I would also like to use the corsair wasd 1234 fps buttons as well.

I have had a lot of keyboards till know, but my top favorite one is the Logitech G710+. It is an awesome keyboard.

What's the difference between ducky and razer

How about the Razer Blackwidow Ultimate? I have one and I love it, it uses cherry MX blue switches and has green LED backlights.

Plus if you want it to pulsate the same way your Naga does you can configure it in Razer Synapse 2.0.

Dad hit it on the head. With a $200 budget you can pretty much get whatever you want for a keyboard, outside of that high end cyborg keyboard or those happy hackers.

But if you want something to match your Naga 2014, go with the Black Widow Ultimate. Since the Naga 2014 has a static color the Black Widow will match out of the box. Other static LED keyboards might be off by a little. And when it comes to mechanical keyboards it really will come down to which switch type and what multimedia functions, if any, you want.

But yeah, I say go for the BW Ultimate. Most Best Buys have them out for display so you might be able to try it out even. That way you can go buy it on amazon afterwards, lol.

What's the difference between ducky and razer

Razer keyboards are going to have a lot more multimedia options built into the keyboards as well as they can be heavily customized with the Razer Synapse software. Razer also sells rubber dome and mechanical boards. Regardless what you'll hear about Razer keyboards, though they are overpriced they are worth it. High build quality, especially on their keyboards, and tons of options. They also come in a wide variety of base shapes and designs.

Ducky keyboards have a ridiculous amount of lighting options and are, as far as I know, all mechanical. Duckys are also insanely heavy. A lot of people attribute this to their high quality build design as for the last several years Ducky has been considered one of the best made keyboards you can get, close to being on par with filco. Ducky keyboards are also all based on your standard qwerty design.

So, short story, it's features. Between the two, If you want a simple design with a ton of lighting features, go Ducky. If you want multimedia options, go Razer. Regardless what's right for you, you'll pay a high premium for either brand.

And remember, as long as it's a Cherry MX switch board you're not gonna really find too much a difference typing on one or the other.

I got the razer black widow ultimate

Those are usually blue switches. I thought you prefer reds or blacks? Blue switches are nice but obnoxiously clicky especially if you want less noise.

[Nick Burkart]

I tried my friends before I went to look at them and I liked them and the noise Idc about cause I wear a headset I can't even hear the clicking. So I tried it before I got it and I fell in love lol
