Razer's Blackwidow Ultimate 2014 Stealth is on sale

Deathwing777 · Nov 3, 2014

Razer's Blackwidow Ultimate 2014 Stealth is on sale right now on amazon for $99.99. I've been wanting a mechanical keyboard for awhile. Would this be a steal for this price? I was original looking at corsair, but Razor looks nice too. Here is the link for the keyboard:

Go for it.
Another option would be this: http://www.amazon.com/CM-Storm-QuickFire-Ultimate-Mechanical/dp/B00EJ8CKIY/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1415032197
CM Storm Triggers have better build quality, and the keys has a nice coating on them. Razer's advantage would be macro keys, if that something you really want.
Both are good, since they are in the same price category, it's a nice deal.

Yes, that's a nice deal. A good friend has one and it is a very nice key board.

I went a head and ordered it. I can always return it if it isn't want I'm look for. Amazon has the best return policy! I'll let you guys know what I think when I get it.

My Review of the keyboard.

tl;dr
I would highly recommend this keyboard to others.

Overall and Pros:
I have been using it for a few weeks and I am very happy. The orange switches are very nice. It's like a hybrid for gaming and typing (and I'm currently getting my masters, so I have to type a lot). I had the k70 for a little bit, and for me I couldn't get used to typing on it. I like the bump these switches give back. (I don’t know how they compare with the cherry brown, though).

The green glow is easy on your eyes in a dark room and wonderful with the lights on as well. I like having many options for glow strength, but honestly I don’t mess with it much.

A lot of people complain about the keyboard having a plastic body. Well, it does...but it sort of feels like nice plastic. It honestly doesn't bother me at all.

I love the USB pass through and use it for my USB headphones or other random things (charging phone, etc.). I also like that they have a pass through for analogue headphones and a mic. I don’t use that feature, but I like having many options.

Finally, having access to 5 macro keys is wonder for games like counter strike. Buying armor, guns or nades is super easy. I haven't used the macros on any other type of game, but I'm excited to try them out.

Cons:
I really wish this keyboard and media keys more like the k70. Honestly, don’t have time to press the Fn key and then find the right F# key that will do what I want during a game. Not to mention the Fn key on the right side of the keyboard and the volume keys are on the left side of the keyboard. So you have to really reach to turn the volume down or use two hands, which is a no go when gaming. However, my headphones have a volume knob on them, so I normally use that.

Nice man, thanks for the review. Yeah, once you get used to media buttons, it's hard not to use them.
