$79.99 with code GAMER20.
However, I'm going to copy+paste myself from another thread.
I bought the this keyboard a couple weeks ago from woot.
It had a faulty switch though. D key would rather double click, or not register a click at all. Kind of an important key for gaming.
So I had to go through the RMA process. Razer does not recognize woot as an official seller (but told me they'd make a one time exception)
So, even though it's a new product, sold from an amazon subsidiary, you only get the 90-day warranty. Not 2 years. Which is upsetting because, mechanical keys go faulty over time. I have soldering tools, but they don't seem to sell their low profile switches anywhere.
So, even at $80, I don't really know if it's worth it. There are probably other options, but I have niche taste in keyboards and this one checked a lot of boxes. (I like low profile, TKL, with a volume knob, without spending a fortune, normal key grooves..) RK ROYAL KLUDGE N80 is my alternate keyboard. I don't care for their keycaps, or any 3rd party ones I found. But its a $50 keyboard with a good build. Hot swap too. So I think its worth considering. I don't know how long this Razer keyboard is going to last me, as I'm already going through an RMA. But I have other keyboards. After a year or two, I may need to replace a switch here and there. Just how it goes.
Yeah, it's absolutely asinine to try and sell a keyboard that is $170 MSRP, and not have it be hot-swappable.
So many options for so much less that are hot-swap.
In my experience it's been hit or miss.
I use a Cherry Low Profile Silver keyboard for work. I seem to replace about 2 switches per year, for its 6 years of life.
Before that I had a Logitech Romer-G keyboard. Those switches were junk after 1-2 years.
I have another keyboard with Kailh switches. No issues there after about 1 year of use.
The ROYAL KLUDGE I mentioned uses an uncommon Jerrzi switch. No issues there after 9 months.
got these with yellow switches 6 months ago. this is my favorite keyboard ever. coming from the blackwidow oled. easy to use, silent but responsive, perfect placement, nice volume/scroll wheel. i just bought another one for 80 dollars, last time i think i paid like 140
Yes, you could do that. Most of the time double typing is caused by the switch.
I personally find using fn to use home and end really annoying so my own 75% keyboard has all those as their own keys. There's a BW v4 TKL that's also hotswap if you want to keep those buttons separate. https://www.razer.com/au-en/gaming-keyboards/razer-blackwidow-v4-tenkeyless-hyperspeed
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

Elite gaming performance, deep customization, but divisive typing feel.
