While I do not own a Black Widow, I do have a K60. After a few months of using it, I can safely say that it doesn't really have any defects.

Earlier models the letters on the keys would wear out, but they fixed that and Corsair will replace the keyboard if it happens.

Considering the K60 is basically a sheet of (thick) brushed aluminum, theres not many ways to scratch it, and it hides dust well.

Maybe models was a poor choice of wording... earlier batches?

Corsair does not etch the letters into the keys, the letters are put on the keys. On earlier batches, the letters would wear off the keys.

Corsair has since fixed this problem, and will replace the keyboard of anyone unlucky enough to get one that the letters wear off of.
