Razer BlackWidow X Chroma Mercury

Razer BlackWidow X Chroma. I have to say, this is possibly the best keyboard I have ever used. I love the RBG lighting effect, the clicky sound of the newly revamped Razer green switches is something I definitely cannot live without; they sound almost identical to MX cherry blues. Once you go blue, you can never type on a non clicky keyboard again. Razer recently changed their switch supplier and has made incredible strides in terms of quality and performance. I actually returned my Corsair K70 RGB keyboard because I couldn't stand how terrible the clicks were. I actually made a mistake when I was at the store buying it; I confused the key-switch 'click' with the actual key bottoming out. Corsair used a grey style switch which gave a 'tactile' response; tactile means mushy to me. I prefer a clean 'snap' of the switches. As far as this keyboard goes, here is what I love about it: - Awesome clicky keys - Heavy, strong built metal frame - Incredible RGB's (better than my Corsair K70 lights ever were) - Smoothly, light, and crisp keystrokes - Cable management trenches in the back of the keyboard Here is what I didn't particularly like: - No wrist pad; I have seen some Razer products with magnetic wrist pads and that would've been awesome - Super small font on some keys, making the RGBs more difficult to see (the 'alt' button has very minimal light that passes through, but I would still consider the RGB effect to be much better than competition) The price for this is also very fair. For about $100 dollars, you get the best RGB's in the market with switches that go head-to-head with the legendary cherry mx blues; how can you beat that? Other manufacturers will typically be much higher, and I don't think there is any price that can compare to this quality. But really, this is by far my most fun keyboard to use, code, type, and game with. In fact, I'm writing this review with it right now, this has been my longest review of a product I have ever written.. coincidence? I think not! :) I have a Das Pro also, but I use that one for work. I would have to rank them nearly the same in terms of typing performance. They Das pro is a little bit better in terms of keystroke performance, but not by much. BUT, the Das pro doesn't have LEDs. Which is why I use the Das Pro at work while keeping the Razer BlackWidow X Chroma at home. I really enjoy this keyboard, I made the switch to mechanical boards about a year ago and to be honest, it changes my perspective. I love this keyboard, and I'm sure you will too!!!! If anything quality related happens, I will be sure to update this post as to what happened. (Note: for the picture, I did purchase some PBT white plastic keycaps which really seem to help the RGB's shine through even more!!!!)
