Razer QC is unreliable.

For keyboard is either Logitech,Cooler Master or Corsair although i admit Corsair keyboard looks more appealing.

As for mouse feel free to ask me or create another thread.

Because there are a vast number of mice out there not just corsair or razer.

And Ducky, (or Vortex if you wan't something smaller than a TKL)

Sure but they are kinda expensive and has less gaming feature if u know what i meant.

But yes i prefer build quality,function and feature over aesthetic thats why i choose CM QF TKL Blue.

I hate every peripherals that is branded as gaming except Mice.

I've been using a Corsair K70 Vengence  with reds and K70 RGB Rapidfire  for over 4 years and yes Corsair is great - But I must add that my new Razer Blackwidow V2 is awesome and on a Par with the best out there - the build quality of the V2 is on another level compared to the older V1 and the new Razer Greens amde by greetech are as good as cherry Mx anyday -

My hats off to Razer for upping their game

Razer Blackwidow V2 is on a par with the K95 Platinum - tried the K95 in store for about 15 min and the Blackwidow V2 quality is on a par - just different features and keyswitch types

You got lucky then. A friend of mine runs a shop selling these peripherals. He said that out of 10 Razer products he sells, 4 of them come back within half a year for RMA.

I have to tell you - I had a Razer Blackwidow Chroma V1 ( 2014 ) and the key switches were total crap - Massive key wobble , very inconsistent feel , and some of the keys stopped clicking after a few months .

but that all relates to the  V1 ( 2014 -2016 )

the new 2017 V2 is another story .

True I've only had my Blackwidow Chroma V2 for a few days so it might develop problems but I can already tell the key switches on the V2 model are on a totally other level compared to the originals - or maybe I just got lucky -

I'm a Corsair / Cherry mx user for about 5 years now so I can testify to Cherry MX quality - no doubt cherry MX is tops

But I'm very impressed with the New Razer Greens made by Greetech - the feel of ALL the keyswitches is very consistent across the ENTIRE board - the clicking / sound and feel is  even right across the board - if this last's Razer will have redeemed themselves after the Khail Razer switch fiasco
