Nice one. Still tossing up between replacements for my back lit lycosa. Still not sure if I want a mechanical keyboard.
Your better off getting something else, I have this and personally I rarely use the screen it's just a gimmick TBH. I would invest in another razer if I were you.
I used crappy gaming keyboards for years (Previous version of this with blue leds-g11?), switched to a cheap Steelseries mechanical recently. Feel like an idiot for waiting, this is so much better it's not funny
how much are the mechanicals?
I paid $90 on Ebay for a Steelseries 6
Get a mechanical keyboard. I just recently got one and it is amazing to type/game on. Make sure you do research on what switches you want though.
Coming from using Logitech gaming keyboards for years, it is night and day really.
hmm, it's not even listed on the EB website and cheapest i could find on staticice was $168 with Logitechshop at $185. $100 is a bargain if anyone can confirm other stores?
It's $184 at Umart. http://www.umart.com.au/pro/products_listnew.phtml?id=10&id2…
It has a five star rating from 35 users.I would not buy this keyboard to be honest, well I believe it's worth $50.
I have one and it appears the electronics in it are quite bad. After 6 months the back lit keys stopped working and was stuck at the colour purple…
Money better spent on a mechanical, and yes the screen is next to useless.
you should sell me one thats stuck on the purple. ;)
Anyone know if this is in victoria at all?
I have one and it is excellent. Well worth $99.
The screen is a gimmick, but is handy as a clock or to see CPU loads.
Recently switched from a g15 to mech, and haven't looked back since. Check out the coolermaster range, good value and top build quality.
Did the same a few months ago and it's been the best decision I've made. Too tempting to pass up a Razer Blackwidow for $90 at EBGAMES.
This is a great deal for a G19, but sometimes EBGAMES have razer blackwidows for under $100 which would be better for a lot of people. Still, if you need the screen or don't like mech then this is a great keyboard & price.
In respected mech circles the Blackwidow is not even considered seriously in any conversation (except the occasional "do not buy it" being mentioned) but I will take it over a logitech membrane kb anyday…..
Logitech make terrible gaming keyboards. Owned the G110 and now the G105 from COTD, both equally mediocre. My Razer Lycosa felt much better.
Razer or Steelseries all the way.
I'm using the g510 at the moment, used to use the lycosa, but the thin rubber coating on the wasd and surrounding keys rubbed completely off withing a few of months. Otherwise I would still be using the lycosa probably as I like the laptop feel to the keys on it. Though I am happy with the logitech keyboard I have now only because it doesn't feel like it's going to break anytime soon.
ut the thin rubber coating on the wasd and surrounding keys rubbed
That happened to mine too… but I generally prefer the tactile feel of Razer's kb keys. Logitech keyboards have this membrany/spongy feel, which doesn't feel as satisfying to type on. But the upside is that it's very quiet.
I completely agree, I just can't stand the fact that an expensive-ish keyboard can look like crap after a few months. - if the keys didn't rub off then I'd still be using the razer.
I bought this for $40 from dse and it was well worth that money. I would even pay $99 for it
Just confirmed this is in QLD as well. Toowong had no stock and I've just put a hold on the last one at Indro.
is this a good price? cause i think ive seen it listed cheaper by LTS?
shame i had to go and FIX my g15, why wont you die damnit!
