Keyboard for a freind

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
So my friend wants a new gaming keyboard he would prefer a mechanical keyboard but If a membrane keyboard is better for gaming I am sure I could convince him.
He really wants to get a BlackWidow Ultimate but they are not gaming keyboards despite what they are advertised as.
So a good gaming keyboard alternative to a Razer BlackWidow Ultimate with backlights macro's ect.

Yeah that actually looks pretty good and the one with the red switches has a semi backlight.
What about the razer ones are they any good?
