I use the Razer Blackwidow Ultimate and absolutely love it. LEDs and all, it's by far the best keyboard i've owned. Feels great, has plenty of customizability, is mechanical, and is quite shiny.
Yeah, i was gonna get the steelseries mechanical keyboards but TBH their design looked a bit bland and uninspired. I like stuff around my computer area to look cool and be functional, so the Razer Blackwidow Ultimate was a splendid choice. I give it 5 stars (out of 5)
I have a couple of questions on how the Razer Blackwidow Ultimate works for everyone who has one.
1)I know that you can assign macros to the "m" keys and you can have 10 or so profiles. Can you quickly switch between between profiles while in the middle of a game. If not, how do you choose a profile? Im not sure if 5 m keys would be enough.
2)Are the profiles stored on the actual keyboard or on the PC? After setting the keyboard on one PC, if I went to another PC, would my personal settings need to be recreated?
Thanks everyone for the info you've been giving me.
Damn, this isn't an Esport. You don't need to spend like 90 bucks on a keyboard for Diablo. Also, most of your major actions are done by the mouse, anyway.

I honestly never use the macro keys, so i couldn't tell you.
I vote for the das mind you I tried black and blue keys and could not stand it. The blackwidow blue keys are way to loud it would drive my poor wife completely mad and there are reports of poor quality control.
Brown is the best of both worlds in my opinion. I can't stand mush keyboards but if you really wanted one I suppose the G15 might be ok.
So get:
Das keyboard
leopold keyboards
Filco keyboards
Steelseries

There's a button to turn the LEDs off...
I am assuming you are joking lol
Its the loud click of the keys
My brown is dead silent with a tactile feed back on each key
I am currently figuring out the specs for my next gaming PC designed specifically for Diablo 3. I purchased two 30in 2560x1600 monitors. Now I all need is to get a excellent keyboard and mouse. I decided that I want the steelseries Diablo 3 mouse. It has up to 5,000CPI, 7 programmable buttons that allow for macros, and it looks awesome(see link below). That leaves the keyboard. I feel a little lost and need some help.
What is the best gaming keyboard for Diablo 3? Help me out Diablo fans.
Razer BlackWidow Ultimate. I generally don't buy Razer, but absolutely nothing comes close to this. Mechanical, programmable, backlit, solid construction, fastest actuation time/distance, sleek looking. Everything.

1) Yes I believe you can. If you can't it's as simple as going into the profile-manager thingy and clicking a different profile. 2) I've never encountered this scenario before, but it has a simple solution either way. If it's on the keyboard, then it's no big deal if you switch computers. If it's not, copy/paste the folder in which the macros are stored onto a USB drive and place it onto the new computer.

The final test of the Serpent's Form takes place in "The Pit of 12 Vipers." The initiates are not told about the 13th.

Need? No. But having nice peripherals can enhance your gaming experience. Pretty much all of your interaction with a computer is done through your hands. Might as well get a nice keyboard/mouse/etc to make it that much more enjoyable!
Thanks for the help everyone. I ended up ordering a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate today. My reasons are as follows.
1)I want a keyboard that supports macros
2)I want a keyboard that is backlit
3)I have been reading about mechanical keyboards and now I think they are the best option
4)I want a keyboard with the ability to shut off the windows key
I think with the reasons that I listed above, the Razer Blackwidow Ultimate is a no brainer. Thanks for the information and helping me make my decision. I knew next to nothing about mechanical keyboards and didn't even know that they were available for gaming keyboards prior to reading these posts.

A fair bit of warning. There have been reports that the spacebar will push down the alt keys when you press it down, but I have not experienced this defect. If you do experience it, return it right away and get a new one. It's possible that they have already addressed this issue though. I think you'll be very happy with your new keyboard! Definitely looks good sitting next to my DeathAdder.

Just take a screwdriver and pop the windows key off. Problem solved, money saved. I used to have to do this all the time in WC3 and Dota.

It might not look pretty but it works.
Knock over drink of choice. Buy new keyboard.
:-p
Lesson you only gotta learn once. I used to keep drinks and crap right beside my stuff, ruined some things and have better placement and sense now lol.

haha, I went with "waterproof keyboard" instead.
At a place I used to stay at, I put my comp near an air conditioning window unit once to stay cool while I played. It froze up one day when I wasnt home and sprayed a little bit of water out. Fried my monitor.
Sorry guys for refreshing this old topic but I didn't want to create a new one. I have a question to you, Razer BlackWidow users. I'm going to buy it next week and I'm wondering (as it is shiny and black) how do you keep it clean out of fingerprints, dust, etc. I know they provide a plastic cover in the packaging but it has to be a kind of dirsty after the day of using, isn't it?
I got the Blackwidow Ultimate and yes it does leave fingerprints but it is not as bad as you would think. The dust looks worst than the fingerprints so I keep a can of air close by and blow it off every once in a while. I have a dark room for my computer, so I don't even bother with the fingerprints because you can't even see them without a glare.
