So today I purchased Razer BlackWidow Ultimate and replaced my old Steelseries 7G. If you are wondering why I did that - I am a keyboard maniac - I am collecting them, comparing them etc. Nothing rational. Another reason is I like Cherry Blues better.
So to compare those:
I like typing on RBW better, that clicky feedback is just nice, also you need less effort to push keys on RBW than on S7G.
Regarding the build quality and durability, I'd say Steelseries 7G is more durable than RBW. So if you are a rager and want to smash your keyboard, pick S7G over the RBW.
About design - Steelseries has functional one, RBW has nice, glossy.
Currently I will stay with the RBW as I really like the typing sound of it. The price is a bit high when you compare it to a standard edition (which is not backlit) but if you are a hardcore gamer a want to feel nice while playing, you might want to spend those extra money.
Yeah, apparently i commented on this thread back in august. I'm still loving my Razer Blackwidow Ultimate. I heard some people dont like the clickiness of the keys, but i think it's the kind of thing you either love or hate. It's still holding up great, and ahhhh, the clicks are still not old, and still so crispy and nice sounding.
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.
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...
