Logan, you should send XArmor an email as well. They are coming out with a revision 2 of the U9BL (backlit mechanical KB with cherry blue switches) and a new backlit mech. KB with cherry brown switches. They might be willing to send you a review sample.

media keys on F- keys.. Why oh why...

all mechanical keyboards have them there and i dont know why

It's beyond unpractical... Having to press another key with your other hand to change song etc, kinda kills the point in having shortcut keys for media

agreed but i dont think they might consider having separate keys for those functions cause the people who buy these mostly use for excessive typing (programming and stuff) and hardcore gamers(pro's) so people like myself only buy it for the comfort and the features it offers ... think about it ... post this on a normal forum asking which to buy a G19 or the Blackwidow and 90% of the people would tell to get the G19 why? it has a the looks,people think the BW is too noisy and the G19 offers much more features(more shortcut buttons and a nice LCD screen) than the BW but for me id take the BW over the G19 any day ...

For "pro" gaming, listening to music while just chilling ingame is a must.. Therefore shortcut keys.

there is no excuse here Razer! :]

agreed again but do you listen to music when ur in a tournament ?? as in LAN tournament .. anyhoo the media keys is not a big deal but at least a dedicated mute key would have been nice and i wonder if it has the windows key disable feature like the lycosa has ...

Ofcourse not, but where are you most, home or at a tournament? exactly.

Also, windows key disable is pretty useless these days, every new game automatically disables that button

I don't know about that one but


I was thinking about getting a new keyboard not sure what.I think i want a like one with the low keys (laptop type).


I don't really wanna spend that much so i found a [url=http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=039]cheap microsoft one[/url] i might buy.

then its the lycosa or artcosa for you mate

I like my G15 :3


LCD and overall quality could be better. But never let me down.

is it going for 129?

and the only way to have real media keys would to have dedicated keys for it that they do nothing but serve media purposes, i dont think you should have to press a button and hold it to mess with music but its just my opinion.

lolrazer.
