I have the regular blackwidow and it has been working great with no problems. Is there anything in particular you are wary about?

Yeah, I constantly running a microfiber cloth around it. Besides the glossy finish though the keyboard is great.

Have you looked at other keyboards? If you're not dead stuck on this keyboard there are many other options obviously.
Throw down some requirements and we can narrow down your search! (Price, key switch, LED, etc etc)

I had the BWU for about a week and thought it was a very solid keyboard. The only reason I sold it was because Newegg had a Black Friday sale on their Rosewill keyboards, so I went with one of those instead. However, when I had the keyboard I was very happy with it.
