For $50-70 less than this, depending on if you buy on sale.
I'm failing to see why this is a good option.
To compare a Razer to this keyboard (or even a Unicomp) is to compare a cheapo, bottom of the barrel smartphone to a top-of-the-line phone. The Razer feels terrible--the keys feel "loose", the typing feel is incredibly off, and above all the keyboard looks like it's made for a 14-year-old male gamer. (Which it probably is.)
So no, I do not agree that this keyboard would have any comparison to a Razer. At least, I hope not.
I've had my fair share of high end mechanicals: IBM M buckling spring, Filco/Leopold Cherry of all flavors, HHKB Pro2 and Realforce with Topre switches, along with long test drives with a Kinesis, among others.
Both of my Razers do feel like they're built with slightly less TLC than any of the above, but not terribly so. The keycaps are made of a lighter weight plastic (they're certainly not an ABS double shot keycap, that's for sure), but that's about it.
I've added rubber grommets to each key so they were a bit quieter and bottomed out more the way I like them to, but that's a more of a personal preference than anything. Maybe that alone is a good fix to make them feel a bit more solid?
Perhaps they've got some shoddy QA for some or changed them in some way, but I really like both of mine.
Also this features Cherry MX Clear switches and standard profile keycaps so you can easily get a set of replacement keycaps if you need or want to.
I do believe that most keys on the BW can be replaced: http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/keycap-compatibility
I even spilled alcohol on it (scotch) and it's still working as expected.
I'll be sad to see it go when I move house and no longer have room for anything more than a laptop.
Yes, I am a vi user. :-)
As in CoolerMaster knockoffs or the CM Storm QuickFire line? I've got a couple of the CM Storm QuickFire TK's (1 at work, 1 at home), and they have easily just as good, if not better, of a build quality and feel as the filco's or ducky's I've tried around the office, and definitely better than any of the blackwidows I've tried (old or new model).
