Despite the fact that razer is taking a lot of crap lately. I love my razer black widow ultimate. I'm a linux sys admin so when i'm not fragging i'm typing furiously at a terminal. As such i use this for my work computer and for a home gaming computer. I love the way the key's react and feel, the build quality is unmatched imho. Also the blue isn't all that intrusive and the sound although audible and quite loud, is more impressive than it is annoying.
Well i have had 2 of them and both ended up with the same issue which was letter spamming and not working.
odd part was if i kept hitting the key over and over and i mean a lot of times it would start working again but then another key would do it..
At this time all keys are working probably knows i plan to replace it asap lol.
Quickfire pro is not as high quality as the Rapid or TK. Keep that in mind.
When you tear apart that board and compare it to something substantial then you will know about build quality. Cherry switches are the most high quality component in the BWU and that is no lie. Their plates are not stainless steel so they will rust in certain environments, their controller is mediocre, and PCB/plate mounting leaves something to be desired. This isn't against you defending razer, but more so that instead of defending them just admit you love blue switches.
Switches are great in it but in side the keyboard if you can get in to it carefully enough as the stupid things are clipped as well as screwed together.
I had to re-solder 2 keys to get them working again.
I got my second one due to the 1st failing in warranty and which started to fail 4 months in so i emailed razor about it just to see how they would respond and they did not even respond so fuck'em after 5 razor products i have had of them over the years.
I do love the switches i must say as after time you will not even bottom out the key when typing and the click just tells you when..
KRD did you get a new KB and if so how has it been ?.
