"The roborock I have kicked and smashed with my foot so many times out of anger when it doesn't collaborate, and still he rocks 4-5 yrs later and no broken parts"
"they are extremely durable. ... I’ve got well over 1000 miles out of a pair and they still have grip and the uppers are in great shape"
"I've used them for 1500 miles of multi-day hiking with no issues!"

"my g502 and g402 lasted for 4-5 years and i didn't get double click issues in both of them"
"The VXE R1 PRO has the Huano Blue Shell Pink Dot switches that are truly legendary and has no problems in the long run whatsoever in terms of double clicking or becoming mushy or anything really."
"better switches that aren't going to start double clicking like 100% of logitech's do. ... you're not going to have to scrap it in 6 months to 2 years or solder in new switches or RMA it due to the switches."

"Primary reason I recommend the Basilisk as the cheap mouse alongside the tartarus is that you're already going to be using Razer Synapse software, so might as well not also have to run Corsair's iCue or Logitech's software alongside it."

"I couldn’t find it on sale separately in the US. So Ace Mini seems to be locked to 1k only for the time being. ... 8k Polling Rate Booster is not included with a $130 mouse! Moreover, it’s not available in US at all. If you add its price $30 - that’s a top tier price range, for that money you can buy Razer Viper V3 Pro. ASUS could have a great offering for mouse enthusiasts, did engineering right, but marketing messed everything up. Again."
"$179 is pretty nuts. ... As long as people keep buying them and paying the esports tax, they're gonna keep selling them at this crazy price. ... The G305 feels really similar, but at 1/3 the price. ... I don't truely understand why the G pro light is all the rage. ... I used a G pro for a week, and while it did feel very smooth and responsive, I also had a G305 that felt very similar."
"the EX has bad ANC capabilities ... that was always the biggest complaint for the price"

"my razer black widow that broke only a year and a half. ... The A key became unresponsive. ... It was actually the second one i got that had the same issue, but the first one lasted 4 years and one of those were during lockdown so i chalked it up heavy use. The second one broke within the two year warranty ... Razer sucks dont buy their stuff. ... I've had nothing but trouble with razer products, even straight out the box I've had issues a couple of times."
"My green switch v4 pro keeps double clicking some keys and missing clicks on other (space specifically)"

"I get a lot of pinky fatigue using them and it turns out that it’s due to their long travel and higher actuation force needed. ... I do have a gaming PC, but I spend most of my time typing (working and studying from home), so I’m using most keys from 7-7pm. Perhaps the use-case also has something to do with the fatigue? ... I do like the Razer TKL, but I wish I could also get it with a similar profile instead of orange switches."
I'm using the Razer Blackwidow V4 mechanical keyboard and it's great. It does have a number pad but is also loaded with great features that you'll want for gaming. It's a little pricy but well worth it
r/PcBuild • Help choosing a good gaming keyboard ->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.
r/Corsair • Best keyboard I've ever had. K100 ->I like Corsair keyboards but I find razer black widow series to be better all around.
r/Corsair • Keyboards ->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
r/starcraft2 • Keyboard for Zerg! ->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
r/WootingKB • ducky to wooting, is it worth it? ->Learned to play Zerg on a Blackwidow way back in the day still miss the black switches tbh. Heavy and clacky
r/starcraft2 • Keyboard for Zerg! ->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.
r/ffxiv • Keyboard and Mouse recommendations? ->I keep buying razer black widow orange and yellows because I'm dumb
r/buildapc • What are you go to Keyboards? ->I keep buying razer black widow orange and yellows because I'm dumb
r/buildapc • What are you go to Keyboards? ->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...................
r/HyperX • Is HyperX Alloy Origins Core Mechanical Keyboard Is it still good option in end 2024 and good for longevity & long use and good keys? ->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.
