BlackWidow Ultimate 2014

My keyboard has been a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2014 since I built my PC 10+ years ago. People seem to not love Razer but it never failed me, lived through lack of cleaning and multiple water spills, and always just worked. I would prefer something plug-and-play vs something that's built for a lot of customization; it's not really important to me to change the look/keys of my keyboard. All I want is a quality-built 80% keyboard (my only gripe about my Razer is it's just too wide) which also has some dedicated macro keys on the left side which I can use as my Discord mute/deafen buttons. RGB/backlighting would be helpful at night as well. And please, any suggestions for a quieter keyboard? I'm hoping that there have been enough advancements in mechanical keys in the last 10 years or so that will cut the noise of typing fast at least by 50% vs my Razer. I paid $110 for my keyboard, I'm hoping to pick something up on sale in the same price range? Maybe $125-$150 at most. Black Friday/Cyber Monday stuff going on currently, so figured now is the time to upgrade. Ty for any and all help!

Man I also had the Blackwidow Ultimate 2012, stopped using it a couple of years ago. That thing was legendary.

So I just recently swap my old Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2012 as it gave up on me and lots of stuck keys so I finally bought a Keychron V6 Max with Quiet Brown keys, I was expecting that the brown keys were identical to Blue but quieter, but as I am typing on the V6 Max it feels so shallow and meh? I don't feel any clicky and tactile when I am typing compared to the old Razer, also I can't test the keyboard at stores as I live outside the city and nearest store is like 1 Hours away. Do anyone have any recommendation on keyboards or switch that's feel the closest to my Razer if at all?

I had my Naga Epic for I think that long if not longer. A blackwidow ultimate for 12 years too. They were both showing their age and had some issues so I went to Logitech stuff earlier this year.... I miss my high quality Razer stuff.

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 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
