Gaming peripherals.

I am switching to desktop! i have a decent pc but all i need is a keyboard. I am considering a Corsair Strafe rgb Cherry MX brown and razer blackwidow chroma. I have heard bad things about the blackwidow but it doesn't look that bad, the corsair also looks great. HELP ME !!

I love my blackwidow, Logitech K70 is also good

Corsair, Razor, Logitech G series are all {usually} great products. It usually boils down to personal preferences, and tastes depending on what you do and or how you use your computer to be honest. They are all great keyboards and peripherals, it just depends on how much you want to spend, and how you use them.

When it comes to "gaming" branded peripherals, always be careful. They tend to be overpriced and focused on the looks. Keep an eye on function first. Do you really want the RGB on the chroma?

I am a developer; so having a comfortable keyboard is essential. btw, i never tried mechanical keyboard.

I do like having a flashy setup.

The strafe is good and MX Browns are my fave switch - dont get the razer their switches are cheap knock offs

 

only downside to me is no wristrest so I use the G710+ but you might not care, or get a 3rd part wrist rest

Are you hinting that strafe is better for typing?

Cherry MX are better than the crappy switches that razer use which are mushy and inconsistent, they are basically clones of the Cherry MX switches

 

so yes the strafe will be better than the razer - its a great keyboard

have you considered the k70 from corsair? it has an rgb version. I can only suggest corsair k70 since I've been using one for a while.

I own a Razer BlackWidow Chroma, and I think it's generally fine (although I don't currently use it as my daily keyboard). I think the main reason to get one before was that it was the only RGB Blue-type switch on the market. However, it seems the Strafe RGB has an option for RGB MX Blues, so that's cool I guess. The BlackWidow does have macro keys which is always a plus, though I personally rarely use them.

 

If you're deciding between the BW Chroma and the Strafe w/ MX Browns, I think the first thing you need to do is go somewhere where you can try both switch types out. Blues might be too noisy for you, or you might end up deciding you don't like the tactile bump at all and would prefer Reds.

I have, but the strafe seems a little bit better to me and the k70 is beyond my budget. Is it worth the extra savings?

I guess its pretty odd but I live in Jordan which amazon cannot reach, or if it can i would have to pay 50% tax which is awful. Only razer products are available here and sometimes i just want to cry.

Ah, you don't live in the US. That could be tricky. Are you aware of some subreddits that have dedicated people buying things that others can't otherwise purchase and shipping to them? youcould ask for quotes in those subreddits i believe.
