    Is there any difference between US and AU layout?

      Don't think there's such a thing as AU layout

      US: AZD

      AU uses the same layout as US, called ANSI. The other common English layout you might see is the UK/European one (called ISO)

        Yeh the one with the FAT enter key

      • howard22 on 30/08/2020 - 12:21

        AUS layout has the "Return" / "Enter" key as a long horizontal key rather than a long vertical key ????

        Can anybody confirm?

        • jp1011 on 30/08/2020 - 12:40

          yes

  • KillerkratZ on 29/08/2020 - 20:21

    This keyboard's switches are not hot swap right?

    • avgbowlofpho on 29/08/2020 - 21:44

      no

    • YeemaiI on 29/08/2020 - 22:05

      No, and that's kinda the problem with these overpriced boards. You can easily build one your self that is higher quality and is cheaper. And you can have the options of using ANY switch.

      • bad hombre on 29/08/2020 - 22:21

        I am looking at building one. Definately not going to be cheaper. If you have links please pass these on :)

          Look at some of TaeKeyboards builds or TaeHa types ones. They have some pretty interesting boards that they've made before on YouTube

          • bad hombre on 30/08/2020 - 06:38

            @YeemaiI: TaeHa is $1800 plus shipping (assume USD) for a custom designed keyboard. They look great though.

            Keychron K8 looks pretty good TKL, alu housing, gateron switches but compatible with cherry - hotswappable for $99 USD plus Shipping.

            • YeemaiI on 30/08/2020 - 09:08

              @bad hombre: Yeah or the K6 seems good.

            • apey2000 on 30/08/2020 - 12:42

              @bad hombre: Keychron isn't really alu. It's a plastic shell with aluminium panels that slide onto said plastic shell.

              • bad hombre on 30/08/2020 - 16:43

                @apey2000: Oh yeah. Been watching reviews all day. Maybe can purchase a compatible case as an upgrade?

                Most of my use will be office type work. I use different keyboards but find mechanical the nicest.

      • OzBoganYeah on 29/08/2020 - 22:37

        Do you have a guide for that? How much cheaper is cheaper though? I thought razer products were high quality or something…

          Guide for building mech keyboards? Mate, there are a whole plethora of choices available. Would recommend checking out the GK61 or GK64. Great starter hotswap boards that you can customize to your hearts content.

          The GK61 goes for less than $75 easy.

      • Shaolinking on 29/08/2020 - 23:03

        Noooo not cheaper but more satisfying

        • YeemaiI on 29/08/2020 - 23:07
          -2

          It can be cheaper. But yes, more satisfying.

        • Chazzozz on 30/08/2020 - 08:57

          Heh. Be careful what you wish for. It’s kinda like golfing or photography: once you really get into it there’s always something else on the horizon and you end up with more stuff than you originally intended. Hella fun, though, and once you find that One Perfect Layout it’s oh-so-satisfying.

      • YeemaiI on 30/08/2020 - 09:09

        LOL why am I being downvoted

        • jjsu on 30/08/2020 - 09:51

          I'm completely for DIY mech keyboards - and I reckon it's a tad more cost-effective. While it's initially expensive to buy whatever you need (whether it be switches, keycaps or hotswap PCB), you can get a lot more life out of a single board - only needing to swap out certain parts, instead of whole keyboards.

          Keyboards like this Razer BlackWidow, use custom keyswitches that are soldered into the board - meaning that if you don't like the switch itself (e.g. too fast) then there's nothing really to do except return or buy another whole keyboard. Also, I know that Logitech G keyboards have wacky keycap sizes - meaning that you can't use a full set of third-party keycaps, even if they fit the stem (e.g. spacebar on the G Pro X is 5.75u, normally it'd be 6.25u).

        • Slidingrb26 on 30/08/2020 - 16:29

          bc people dont understand the mechanical keyboard enthusiast world. If it doesnt have razer, corsair or logitech on it, its bad.

    • smartazz104 on 29/08/2020 - 21:54

      Yes hence why it’s called a tenkeyless.

      • iDrownFish on 30/08/2020 - 01:11
        +3

        yeah but tbh its also dumb bc this is advertised for office use and "professional environment"

        • Chazzozz on 30/08/2020 - 09:01
          +2

          Erm…you’d be surprised at the huge number of ‘professional’ coders who love to use these small-format keyboards. Check out the 60% form factor, it’s missing way more keys than this, yet tons of power users love it.

          TKL and smaller ‘boards are niche, but it’s one of those things that if you have to ask then you just don’t get it.

          • Fybre on 30/08/2020 - 09:49

            @Chazzozz: This ^^

          • howard22 on 30/08/2020 - 12:24

            @Chazzozz: i'm downgrading from a full size keyboard and now want a 60% due to lack of use of those keys.

            Of course everybody has their preference and full size just fits most people's requirements

            • Slidingrb26 on 30/08/2020 - 16:32

              @howard22: ive got 2 60% keyboards and they both still take up less space than my old full sized keyboard did, except now i have the option to choose what type of switch i want to use on a certain day. Definitely spices up my productivity

  • idonteven on 29/08/2020 - 21:56

    I wonder how the current Razer gear holds up against the OG stuff they had back in the day.

    I'm still typing on my 2011 $150 Razer Blackwidow Ultimate with the Cherry MX Blue switches and it's still going strong with no issues to this day.

    • ATangk on 29/08/2020 - 23:26

      I got one of the first gen orange switches in 2015-ish? There was a stuck tab key after 2 years and I’ve used it sparingly since. Was thinking about this one to use but thought better to first try blow out the sticky key. Alas it worked… Hope it stays that way tho.

  • asrey1975 on 29/08/2020 - 22:03

    I just bought the white one at full price, arrived a few days back, love it. The white one is pretty slick looking, photo's dont do it justice.Put the extra noise suppression rings on all the keys that came with the keyboard, its reasonably quiet. Love the underglow / white light. I got it for my work laptop, but its too nice a keyboard, thiking of giving it to my better half if she prefers it, might get another :) maybe the black one now its on sale :D

  • avgbowlofpho on 29/08/2020 - 22:18
    +3

    This honestly isn't the worst keyboard, however i think you can do much better for this price. Tecware Phantom L (Low Profile) is about $79 + Delivery plus it offers the flexibility of being able to swap the switches in the future. I'd argue that the only downside is that the cable is not detachable unlike this one.

    edit: my bad it does have a detachable cable

  • Top G on 29/08/2020 - 22:23

    Still using Logitech with romer g mechanical switches for $54 from back in the day: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/396784?_gl=1*1nccue6*_ga*O…

    Actually prefer the feel of romer g compared to any other switch for gaming. Wonder how these razer orange feel.

    • Void on 30/08/2020 - 11:15

      Yeah the hate for Romer-Gs is real. I love the Romer-G Tactiles on my G512, MX Blues feel too fake, like the click isn't natural, MX Reds feel like there isn't even a switch, though I haven't tried MX Browns. They may be very similar to the Romer-Gs I'm using.g

      • jjsu on 30/08/2020 - 11:28

        MX Browns (and other variants) have their own signature feel. I used Romer-Gs for a solid 5 years on my G810 - it feels a tad smoother than Browns, but when bottoming out, there's a strong mushy sensation. Then again, my Romer-G's are pretty beat and I'm sure they feel different now - compared to when they were new.

        However, a big downside of the Romer-G's are that you can't use any other variant of keycaps (i.e. third-party). First of all, the stems are unique - and secondly, some key lengths aren't standard (e.g. Caps lock, shift and spacebar). Keycaps wore down relatively quickly - but I only gave up on the board when keys started repeating.

  • Wonderfool on 29/08/2020 - 22:38

    What does orange key means in reference to cherry's?

    • jjsu on 30/08/2020 - 09:59

      The closest counterpart would be their Brown switches - just these Razer ones have a lower actuation point.

  • Shaolinking on 29/08/2020 - 23:04

    85% board is the best

  • No ONE on 30/08/2020 - 01:15

    • jjsu on 30/08/2020 - 10:01

      If you're looking for longevity - Das Keyboards are probably the best. You'd best be trying to find one with Cherry Brown switches (assuming that you're working in a office-type environment).

      • thushan on 30/08/2020 - 11:22
        +2

        echo this, I have the original Das (2007) with no key and the Silent from 2009 and they're both still working as if they're brand new - it's a Cherry Brown, I've tried the Blue's but wasn't a fan. Key types are a very personal thing, so best to try it once lockdown is over and pick the click that clicks with you.

        I'm not a fan of extra keys, media functions etc (though the USB ports are handy), so the early Das's are my favourite.

        • jjsu on 30/08/2020 - 11:43
          +1

          One of the newer models looks way too over the top - something about it using RGB lighting effects to tell you of notifications (e.g. new emails, weather alerts).

          • thushan on 30/08/2020 - 15:33

            @jjsu: Yikes, what the! it's like the old Optimus keyboard!

            Also how did these become so expensive? I paid $199 for the original (granted, it was a limited run and preorder!) and $149 for the silent (Professional S) at PCCG in 2009, now they're $299+?

    • hotukdeals on 31/08/2020 - 07:34

    • OblFa on 31/08/2020 - 13:59

      Best pre built mech in terms of build quality is definitely the Leopold FC900R

  • aveeno bb on 30/08/2020 - 11:26

    Nice find OP.

    I am using BlackWidow Elite with Green Key, which is an excellent keyboard but a bit noisy for work especially when having to Zoom and type at the same time.

    Got this one, so hopefully it will be better suited for work purposes.

    • jjsu on 30/08/2020 - 11:39

      It'll definitely be more suited - however, microphone placement may also have an impact of how much of the keyboard clatter that you hear (even for tactile ones)
