I have the Razer Blackwidow elite, and while it is kinda heavy, it works well with my large hands and fat fingers. Also after many years of use I have no broken keys or anything like that, the paint on the keys has also not gotten smudged off so all the letters are as clear as when I first bought it. However the volume wheel broke pretty early in it's life. The extra player keys still work fine tho. It's also quite customizable but you have to use the razor software which was annoying with constant log outs, popups and pop ins to ask for an account mid playing. So I uninstalled it and now use the default settings.

I second the black widow. Probably your best bet. Then get steel key caps.

Ngl I miss the macro buttons on keyboards. I still use my razer blackwidow on the main PC and I can’t stop using the M1-M5 keys

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

all their mice work perfectly for me with zero issues. i had a blackwidow keyboard from them start double typing, which is apparently a known issue with them. i had a huntsman v2 mini from them that works perfectly after years of use. i recently got a deathstalker v2 pro tkl that works ok so far too. i've had two mechanical keyboards fail on me, one razer, one not, neither optical. so i don't know if it's a razer issue or just non-optical mechanical keyboards being unreliable

Razer Naga Trinity (wireless,mouse) and Razer Huntsman V2 (keyboard) what I’ve been using for a few years. Before that had a standard Razer Naga and the Razer Blackwidow keyboard. Razer key is on the price side (can often find decent deals on Amazon and other 3rd party vendors) but I’ve been gaming with Razer peripherals for like 20 years and never had any issues with anything, other than wear and tear.

Hi everyone, At work I'm using a Logitech MK295 Silent keyboard and it's amazing for office use. Super quiet and comfortable. At home I currently have a Razer BlackWidow, which is fine for gaming but honestly way too loud, even for normal typing. I'm setting up a home office now and I'm looking for a keyboard that lets me work in silence but also game properly. I know nothing will be as silent as the Logitech MK295, but most keyboards that advertise being "quiet" still seem quite loud in comparison. What I need is: * Full-size keyboard (must include numpad) * Wireless * As quiet as possible (so hardcore typing is no issue) * Still good enough for gaming The ones I've looked at so far: * Razer Pro Type Ultra * Keychron K10 Pro (Red switches) Does anyone have experience with these, or better recommendations? Thanks!

I used to always buy these and loved the macro buttons on the side and synapse despite it's lag. They just break too quickly for me to justify it now. Does anyone know good alternatives?
