Razer Blackwidow Ultimate

Look, I really like Razer’s innovations, and product designs. But they seem to fail on the quality of things.

I currently bought a Razer BWU less than a month ago. And about 2 weeks into using the product, the LED on the “Y” key seems to be flickering at the 2 brightest settings. While on the lowest it only has recently just started flickering.

It’s a mechanical keyboard with the lot – Macro Keys, LED’s, and naturally the disable the Windows key feature, media keys, number pad and on-the-fly macro recording. All along with Razer’s excellent software and auto-profile switching.

I “upgraded” to this from a G15 which I had ever since the refresh version was released. It still works, however it isn’t mechanical. Which is the main reason why I chose a Razer product – mechnical, LED + macro’s.

All in all, it is a good product, but it fails on the quality. So I can’t exactly recommend it unless you don’t mind spending $X returning it to the retailer, or to Razer themselves each time is starts playing up.

However, when and if Logitech release a mechanical keyboard product. I most definitely will be buying one of those. I’ve never EVER had a Logitech product fail on me.

Anyway, it wont stop the Razer fans from buying their products. Nor will telling people Dell and Alienware’s are overpriced stop them from buying their products. But I felt I should update the blog and write a quick and shitty review anyway
