Razer’s Cheap(er) Gaming Keyboard #Helpful Post

hey guys Austin the last time Razer

announced a brand new keyboard more than

a few of you guys were interested in it

so when they announced a brand new

keyboard which is not only silent but

also much cheaper of course we have to

take a look at it this is the Razer

BlackWidow Lite keyboard now in ninety

bucks it's less than half the price if

that huntsman elite and with this you're

getting something that's a little bit

more focused on normal use as well as

gaming pop this guy open and we have the

keyboard itself now this is a little bit

of a smaller when compared to the elite

so it is a 10 keyless design but

personally I kind of don't mind that I

would rather have a little bit of extra

space wait a minute wait a minute so in

the box it says it has silent switches

with included rings but I didn't think

that the o-rings actually have to be

manually installed ok all right this is

not a super cheap keyboard so it should

be a surprise but that decklid feels so

sturdy so we do have the detachable

micro USB cable now I would prefer to

see this as USB see but honestly I feel

like that's still a nice little portable

package I guess we it's time to remove

the keys remember I was signing up for a

bunch of work with my keyboard here so

we do have our little key removal tool

here I'm not sure why this is included I

mean maybe the feeling isn't quite as

nice with the o-rings on let's uh let's

pop it out for a WASD Keys ok so if I

wrap the o-ring around the switch I

guess that works let's pop back on and

see alright so this is what a normal

switch sounds like and the new one I

mean it makes it a little bit quieter I

guess some people will probably want to

install these for me I don't see a huge

difference unless maybe I'm working in

an office so I really want to keep it as

quiet as possible it's much quieter this

is how people type

spreadsheets excel kpi's plug the Black

Widow in and you'll see it's a little

bit more of a subdued look so it is all

white LED lighting unlike the higher-end

razor models which do have full RGB by

considering the price and considering

that this is supposed to be a little bit

more of a grown-up keyboard that's no

problem now we do still have full razor

set up so we can't change the lighting

if we like so right now it's pretty much

a sort of dimming it or brightening it

you can do the breathing effect which is

fine but I mean for the most part it's

either do you want it on or do you want

it off I will say the lights actually

are really bright this almost feels like

it's maybe just as bright if not even

brighter than some of the RGB stuff so

another keyboard that I really like is

the Tomoko now this is a very very cheap

keyboard it's got the blue knockoff

switches and they're only $28 usually

this has been my main recommendation for

people who are wanting to get into

mechanical switches but if you listen to

it versus I mean there's a big big

difference in the noise there what the

hell

wait I lied there's one RGB key it's the

caps lock huh okay well I guess that's

that RGB it's just G its G key so for

gaming it's fine but my main thing is I

don't quite have that same kind of

tactile feedback that I do on something

that's a little bit more clicky like the

blue switches I mean it simply usable

and I think some people actually might

prefer something that's a little bit

quieter when gaming but for me I don't

know it's it's a little bit on the lipid

on the subtle side we switch over to the

Huntsman elite keyboard well I mean

there's a reason why this is my favorite

gaming keyboard out right now first of

all it's gotten the sound and but almost

more important than that it's a little

bit more of a tactile feel so I click

the button I know that I've hit it right

there's no sort of I don't say vagueness

but it's not loose it's all very very

tight and it feels like I'm actually

properly losing an overwatch that's my

favorite thing is when I lose an

overwatch are you serious right now

there you go at $90 the razer blackwidow

light is something that's a little

different than a lot of the mechanical

keyboards I take a look at instead of

being purely focused on gaming this is a

little bit more of a subtle design so

it's got the white LED the all matte

black plastic and on top of that it's a

very quiet keyboard so you want

something that's great for typing the

light is definitely worth a look

you want something a little bit more

focused on gaming though there are

definitely other options
