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.
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.
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!
Recently bought a Razer Blackwidow and absolutely love it compared to my Logitech G15. Mechanical keyboards are definitely the way to go nowadays.
I bought a Blackwidow (Ultimate) recently too and I know they are looked down upon by some in the mechanical keyboard circle, but I've been extremely pleased. Gorgeous keyboard and I haven't had any build problems that some have reported. I hate coming in to work and using this crummy membrane keyboard.
