Reddit reviews Razer BlackWidow X Chroma Mechanical Gaming Keyboard: Green Key Switches - Tactile & Clicky - Chroma RGB Lighting - Military-Grade Metal Construction - Mercury White

It’s a Blackwidow X Chroma Mercury edition by Razer that I customized to look like the aurora whenever I boot up the game. It’s hella cool. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072JWR7Y5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_hws8Bb0ZV9DR1

Razer BlackWidow X Chroma Mercury Edition

I would set an alert on Pcpartpicker so you can monitor when it drops:

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zRndnQ/razer-blackwidow-x-chroma-mercury-edition-wired-gaming-keyboard-rz03-01762000-r3m1

It’s a relatively new keyboard unfortunately

Also hit up amazon :

Because of the easy return policy and marketplace for “used” or open box items.

You will eventually see it drop to 75 refurbished or open box, it’s just a waiting game for the white one. If your looking for a black one is a lot easier lol.

I am thinking of getting Razer Blackwidow X

Does anyone know of a keyboard that has the 5 left-side macros like the Razer Blackwidow Ultimate? I can't seem to find a good one that has decent tactile keys and also these macros. I know corsair has some, but I hate their software and will not get one because of it.

I care more about these macros than anything. They have made coding/design/typing SO efficient for me.

I like Cherry MX Clears, but I am very used to the Razer switches (similar to MX Blues I hear). I don't care how loud the key is, but I definitely need the tactile feeling.

I need RGB.

Thanks for anyone's help!

EDIT: To be even more specific I want something like this, but with the macro keys.

I know this sounds like a silly request, but I am seriously struggling to find a keyboard with those dang macros that isn't a razer or corsair!

Is razer still not recommended here? It's on sale at least.

And contacting them (i believe china company) didn't get any results (ignored).

Not OP, but the keyboard is the Razer Blackwidow Mercury White version

Once you mechanical you won't go back. It's literally like 100x better. White sort of limits your options. Don't know much about these other than the Blackwidow...which is reputable. I like Cherry MX Red's the best.

Really like it thus far.

Possibly this- https://www.amazon.com/Razer-BlackWidow-Chroma-Construction-Keystrokes/dp/B072JWR7Y5

Do you like linear switches? For the most common switches the noise level goes from softest to loudest. Black, red, brown, then blue. Im not a keyboard expert but I know Tesoro is a pretty good budgetish keyboard option

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074C9QKXH/ref=twister_B07BTD11KM?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1. Its about $100

Corsair has some special edition white keyboards. https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-Mechanical-RAPIDFIRE-Gaming-Keyboard/dp/B07D5S24BP/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1542083689&sr=8-7&keywords=white+mechanical+keyboard&dpID=41hmy8JQAlL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch. $175

And so does Razer, however they are the loud switches: https://www.amazon.com/Razer-BlackWidow-Chroma-Construction-Keystrokes/dp/B072JWR7Y5/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1542083689&sr=8-5&keywords=white+mechanical+keyboard $150.

Off the top of my head, thats what i can think of. There are also a lot of other cheap like $30-$50 white mechanical keyboards.

I dont really know a whole lot about the custom keyboard realm. But those keyboards are super nice. However they can get expensive.

Corsair K70 MK.2 or Razer Blackwidow X Chroma Mercury ?

I'm torn between these 2, which one should I choose? Or another recommendation for a white keyboard around the same price range would also be appreciated.

Thanks

I found a razer keyboard.
