Right now I can get this board for $144 on sale. What I've found out about this board is:

Sub-par build quality, according to public opinion.

The media keys (volume wheel, play and pause buttons etc.) and them being their own thing (my previous keyboard had these and I've grown quite fond of them)

The fact that I already have a Razer Deathadder Elite which has worked perfectly for me. (brand loyalty? lol)

The look of the keyboard. It's relatively low-key when you take into account the Razer brand.

RGB. It's a must since my mouse is RGB too and I'm sick of having my board on just one color for aesthetics sake.

The soft wrist-rest. I tried this at a store and it's a huge plus for the Blackwidow right now.

Of course I've heard you guys' plea to not get a Razer keyboard. Loud and clear.

Right now the closest competitor from a "quality" manufacturer seems to be the Ducky Shine 7 for $222.

Here's what I've gathered from this one:

Supreme build quality.

Some media keys (volume up and down, no next track/play pause buttons) I'm also aware you can make any keys the media keys but I enjoy the simplicity of the dedicated buttons.

No wrist rest (at least standard, I noticed you could get one sold seperately, but it appeared to be for the smaller of Ducky's models.) Also that would be another $30 added to the already steeper price of the Ducky.

RGB (Though I am a sucker for Razer's customizability, though and knowing it will sync with my mouse) I've heard Ducky's software isn't the greatest.

Another contender would be the CoolerMaster MK750.

This one has the wrist rest. It has the media keys too, but no volume keys. I'd even rather have the volume keys than just the media ones. Also has RGB and for only $178. Again, you win some, you lose some.

Right now, to the average Joe (me) it seems like I'm giving away some personal preferences for better build quality and more price. I am not a huge keyboard snob. I won'use it THAT often (pro gaming etc.) I'm not a power user etc.

Do I really wanna spend that extra $80? Will I really notice it? I'm genuinly asking here because you people seem very passionate about this hobby.

Please note that the Razer board is indeed on sale, so deciding soon is crucial. I would never spend $200 dollars on a Razer product. But on sale, I'm considering the Blackwidow. If it wasn't on sale, I'd easily get the Shine 7.

Help me out here guys, I'd appreciate it.

Edit: forgot to mention I'm looking at full sized boards.
