Razer - BlackWidow Ultimate 2016

I switched from Razer to Logitech after having 3 Black Widow ultimate Razer keyboards fail. all 3 had the double key typing within 2 years.

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.

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).

I used to have a Razor Blackwidow keyboard as well. Then I switched to Alienware. Definitely want to go with CORSAIR next, and I was thinking K100 also! Thanks for sharing your experience with it.

I like Corsair keyboards but I find razer black widow series to be better all around.

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

Learned to play Zerg on a Blackwidow way back in the day still miss the black switches tbh. Heavy and clacky

ironically i am typing this from my razer black widow that i've had for a whole year and one month, whose a key and spacebar refuse to work consistently even when firmly pressed, after searching for a new keyboard to buy. it's driving me insane...................

Had a Blackwidow and a Huntsman Analog Mini The Blackwidow had switch failure where a switch would not properly depress. The metal leaf contact inside the switch had shorn off, IDK how that’s even possible given the box-style switch they use, but having the metal leaf flake off and interfere with the spring is frustrating, especially since opening the damn thing to repair it is such a chore. The Huntsman’s stabilizer clips looked particularly shoddy, lots of flashing on the plastic, really finnicky to reassemble, I wasn’t confident in using it. I have a particularly heavy hand especially when gaming, I have a tendency to piano roll keys, and the stabs would not have held up if they were moulded incorrectly. When a $28 Royal Kludge bottom of the barrel mechanical keyboard has a better stabilizer than the Huntsman Mini, which is more than double the price, something is wrong.

Hey guys, maybe someone could give me a suggestion on what to get, I'm at a bit of a loss here. I have had a Razer blackwidow for many years now, but it's starting to fail me. Sadly, there is no current version with the Portuguese (Portugal) layout. I have come to get used to the green switches, so I'd probably like something similar... Any ideas?
