They've recently released BlackWidow V4 Low-profile line: [https://www.razer.com/gaming-keyboards/razer-blackwidow-v4-low-profile-hyperspeed](https://www.razer.com/gaming-keyboards/razer-blackwidow-v4-low-profile-hyperspeed) Maybe it's not as flat as old deathstalker v1, but it's lower than most Razer keyboards.
Yup, but on Blackwidow V4 they'll go slightly inside, so they are not that high as Deathstalker V2.
I got the BW low profile full size and TKL off Amazon today. https://a.co/d/biRtScR https://a.co/d/83x1qot
i've had mixed results with razer. a blackwidow hyperspeed i got a few years ago broke recently, but a huntsman v2 i've had for over 5 years works well. i think at least their optical stuff is good. also, i think there have been a lot of issues with the blackwidow v4, but that supposedly has been resolved
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.
