Based on 1 year's data from Feb 24, 2026 How it works
I've been waiting for my black widow chroma to die for a decade at this point. They're overpriced and not great quality but they can last
Same ive literally had mine since like 2013 waiting to upgrade but it wont die
I literally just bought a new one after 10 years. I watched a ton of YouTube videos, rated a bunch at a Microcenter, and settled on the Keychron Q1 Max. Whereas I prefer a full keyboard I was sold on the idea of more desk/wrist space for my mouse. If you need a full sized one the Q6 Max was the other model I looked at. My previous model was a Razor Chroma Black Widow that was very clicky. The board is very heavy and solidly made. To my untrained self, the keys feel nice to press. It has wired, blue tooth and Wi-Fi; the latter of which I plan to use when switching to my work computer. LED lighting is nice but flawed. The colors are pretty but it doesn't light the whole key which means if you buy see through letter keys, the light won't shine through the lettering. The key shapes I'm not used and I can only describe it as feeling a bit tall and too close together. I'm not used to no number pad and the delete key being in a completely new location but I'm giving it a chance. I spent over an hour typing a short story last night, and it went pretty quick. I had more typos than usual but that's due to getting used to a new keyboard.
Mechanical keyboard clicking gets old really quick I was like you and liked the clicking sound and still do but I bought a razer Black widow with green tactile switches and the thing drives me nuts with how loud it is while typing now, if I was to buy another razer keyboard I would go with either the yellow or orange switches to still get that clicky sound but not as loud.
I actually prefer the longer travel, myself, but that might be because I have fairly big hands. I'm on an old Blackwidow with green switches, and I love it. this is my second blackwidow, and I've probably had this one for at least 3 or 4 years, and I game for at least 4-5 hours almost every night. It's starting to show it's age, though, so I'm debating between another Blackwidow or a SteelSeries Apex 7 with Blue switches (similar switches to the Razer Green).
using razer black widow (in pink, idk if the paint or whatever holds differences) for a couple years now and it hasn’t yet done this for me!! something i was having so much trouble with on my old bluetooth keys lol
I like Corsair keyboards but I find razer black widow series to be better all around.
I second the black widow. Probably your best bet. Then get steel key caps.
Been my goto set since sc2 released. During beta though i was using an old, and tiny ps2 keyboard that was phenomenal and i doubt any other keyboard could beat in my eyes. Look for a smaller set of keys? Youll adjust to the bw quicker than you think, but as a recommendation, also get the naga so you dont have to move your keyboard hand all that much. It’s helped me fathoms over the years
I went from Razer Blackwidow, which is similar to your Ducky, to Wooting 80HE. The difference is night and day and the Wooting was irrefutably better. I had to mod mine for more tactile keys as it was hard for me to feel like I was hitting keys, but I've gotten used to it now. The default Wooting should honestly be universally satisfying for most keyboard preferences otherwise
