[melias24]

Hey guys, I was wondering is the razer blackwidow 2013 ultimate keyboard good for gaming a typing from time to time? Is it a good overall keyboard, or do I get something else recommends by you guys?

Thanks,

~Elias

Edit: I am wanting cherry mx blue, and I heard the ones on the Razer are similar

I have it and it is really good for typing and gaming as the keys are really responsive and there is no ghosting. Plus you get the satisfying click with every press of a key

I have the Silent edition. It gives the same tactile feel. But without the annoying clicky sound. I have had no problems a good all round at typing and games. Although the green is a bit hard to match, but I gather you have already taken that into consideration.

Stay away from Razer keyboards there build quality is terrible, and you have to use synapse. There are SO MANY better options for the price.

Agreed, and I hope the OP listens to this. Even if OP gets the BWU 2013, he still has to deal with Synapse.....which works flawlessly for some, it's a mess for others. <_<

 

The 'Razer Green and Orange' are similar to Cherry Blue and Brown respectively, though the Razer switches are basically knockoffs of Cherry switches and are made by Kailh. I don't know about you, but I'd rather stick with Cherry switches which have been tried and tested, unlike Razer's own take on it. Yes, Kailh has been around for ages as well, but they were known to make Cherry knockoffs of lesser quality and reliability/durability. If you buy Razer's spin on how they have tested and design their switch, by all means go for it, I ain't gonna talk you outta it.

 

Here's one of my possible keyboard (Ducky Shine)+ case LED color to match.

Or Yellow theme...believe me, I can be quite anal about color themes at times, so I understand that you may want a certain color theme to match your peripherals, as I;ve shown above, green doesn't mean you'd have to go with Razer.

Or blue theme...

Or, even a white theme...

See? I can be anal about color themes with the best of 'em. :wacko:
