Please bear with me, I’m not very tech savvy.
The keyboard seems perfect for me and my needs, tactile orange specifically, white colour, but the fairly bad quality control and issues surrounding it is putting me off, heard it’s guaranteed to start double clicking at some point due to a hardware flaw or something, idk exactly, and Razer doesn’t directly serve in my country (even though their everywhere here) and availability and warranties and what not are super weird for my region as well, so no guarantees I’ll be able to get anything fixed if anything goes wrong months later after a purchase. Worth the gamble or no?
Any alternatives that are very similar to check out? Couldn’t find much as well rounded or fairly available as this one for my needs while searching around.
Can you recommend a specific model or something? Availability is near non existent for me on that brand sadly, and whatever little is available is VERY expensive and doubled/quadrupled in price, and lacks the things I’m looking for. Couldn’t find much that’s similar to a Blackwidow V4 75%, it’s perfect for me and my needs, it’s extremely well rounded, perfect size for me, has RGB text so I can use it in darker lighting (seems very rare to find outside of the big brands), comes with a wrest pad out of the box (also very rare to find), is hotswappable (I checked, it fully supports this, so no idea what the other commenter meant or if they forgot), has media controls, and felt amazing to click on when I tried it once, just the right amount of resistance for me to avoid misclicking constantly, it’s got everything I need, it’s just the quality control and weird regional bullcrap for warranties that I’m afraid of, otherwise I’d go with it without a second thought.
Nicher brands may or may not even be an option for me, only the big brands have somewhat of a stable-ish presence globally, nothing I can do about that, it is what it is, so idk what to do here. Multiple recommendations would be appreciated for me to look into.
What’s your budget and what country are you in?
150$ is my max budget rn. Won’t say my country for personal reasons, very sorry, I know that makes things difficult.
Generally though the bigger the brand or the more internationally focused they are the higher likelihood of them being available, the nicher/smaller the brand the less likely they’ll pop up and also way more likely to have weird prices and taxing if they do.
Costs on the other hand I have no clue, it’s all over the place. Something that costs 60$ in one place can cost anything from 90$ to 200$ locally for no clear reason, online or not, it’s very random… So the more choices for me to look into the merrier I say cause your guess is as good as mine haha 😅
Keychron ships worldwide so I’m surprised. Can you give a general geographic region? Europe? Middle East? Africa? A continent? Antarctica? I’m just not versed in who ships what where. Did you order your Razer direct from Razer themselves? Does Amazon Ship to you?
