I currently have a razor widowmaker ultimate 2016, I like the numpad but I really want something new. What would be a good mechanical keyboard in the 50-150 range. I do not have any preferences other than I would like it to be quieter than what I have. Ty for your time
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 don't quiet have piano fingers(I'm a bass player, no pick). I have a Razer black widow that's about 12 or so years old, but I hear their quality isn't so great anymore. Maybe something old enough that the caps are on steel posts? That'll probably require a ps2 to usb adapter though, and may not function in bios.
Nope. My Black Widow is still going after 12 years or so. I just wish that it was louder and clankier with more resistance.
I mean.. mouses are kinda a preference item.. personally I use a mouse with a ton of buttons.. if you want to get him one like that Best Buy has a good Corsair one on sale for $50.. there are other options too.. You should ask him what type of mouse he likes. You didn't say how much you want to spend.. I got my brother a Red Dragon set for Christmas like 5 years ago and he was still using it when I went to Thanksgiving at his house last month.. so I can say those are good if you're looking to keep the set around $50 total. If you want to spend more than that I would just look around and look at sales.. Keyboards are pretty straight forward.. make sure it's mechanical or membrane and has good reviews.. I am using a Razer Black Widow keyboard I bought on sale a few years ago and I definitely recommend it.. very nice keyboard. If you don't want to spend that much tho.. you can get the Ornata for way less and it's a nice keyboard as well.
I like Corsair keyboards but I find razer black widow series to be better all around.
