Logitech G512 vs Razer BlackWidow V3

You don't really see any bleed coming around the top of the the print right there or through out the side. Very, very nice, crisp RGB coming through t...

As soon as I picked the keyboard up from the packaging, I knew I was going to return it. It feels cheap and flimsy. I got this keyboard as my full time work keyboard and just hated how it felt and how rough the key texture was, while the keys feel hollow and cheap. The left shift key was really stiff compared to my other keyboard

As a lot of others stated this is not a "small number of users". I love the progress you people made in the last five years but be aware your very lukewarm response over this very, very significant design/production issue won't go away. You own every single one of your consumers an apology and an action plan and its delivery therefore.

Colors are great. However, the software needs to be more user friendly and needs improvement. When keys are programmed in 'hyper' mode for gaming, they don't always work and are inconsistent. Saving particular game keys is not fluid

The "Tactile" typing feel is kinda chunky. The "Aircraft Grade Aluminum" is just a top plate, everything else is thick-ish plastic. **1 year later - The coating on my WASD keys is rubbing off, the space bar is cracked, and any clicky-ness has disappeared. Custom Roamer-G keycaps are pretty much impossible to get ahold of, and if you can, they're usually caps not made for backlighting

. Apperantly not! Since I live in Turkey my keycaps are in Turkish layout but there are no legit indications that the keycaps will be black paint coated for being Turkish layout. I contacted Razer and their answer was kind of funny and since technical support has no idea about what double shot keycap is they got kind of boastful unnecessarily by basicaly saying "yeah we upgraded our new keyboards with more durable double shot ABS keycaps"

And they removed the 3.5mm on the dongle! it was such a useful feature!! Plus in terms of software, the mic never worked, the buttons on the back never did anything unless bound to a logitech specific command, and the volume knob is so soft it just moves to easily, it it brushes your shirt collar prepare for ear rape.

Except that one needs some *real* crappy software to use all of its features^(\*), and the other one... Well, there are some serious complaints about Razer quality, and, being a mechanical one, it's not very quiet

Back lit LED, you can use Logitech software to control, or there are some pre-programmed onboard profiles that you can use. I have used the G10 1st gen, and I loved it, logitech has never really made a replacement for that one. I have also used the G910, that I took a few issues with. Over time, the G910 back light LED's started to die out, I hope they have resolved that issue with the G512

So far I've only found two keyboards that match my criteria: the Logitech G915 and the Razer Blackwidow V3 Pro, but both are seriously expensive. The Filco Convertible 2 is really close but doesn't have backlighting. The Ducky Freedom looks like it would be perfect but seems to have been put on hold. Other than that, I'm struggling to find anything

In feel, sound and materials.The attention to detail, the software, the typing feeling, the sound, the beautifull but useless led strip of the keyboard and wrist rest..

This keyboard works great, and looks very nice. the build quality is great, exactly what you expect for the price, I went for the green switches and they are great . The only issue is there is a known compatibility issue of this exact keyboard with windows 10 where the windows search bar bugs out whenever you restart your pc, and you have to unplug the keyboard and restart the pc again and then plug it after the pc is on . you can look this up, and apparently it is an issue with windows trying to update the keyboard drivers everytime it boots up, the only solution is to manually update the keyboard bios from razer's website, the problem is they don't have any support files or downloads available for this model in particular so you are pretty much stuck with this bug

This thing is considerably taller and your wrists and hands will fatigue and hurt after a day of typing. I don't know a better way to say this, but while the build quality is solid, the edges of the keys are "sharp", as is the edge of the frame. Again, I think a palm rest would fix all of this, but I'm ultimately going to look for a low-profile gaming keyboard and probably give this to one of my kids because my hands can't take it. Suggestions: Logitech should really include a palm rest with this, it might be one of the most perfect keyboards I've ever used and I can tell it's going to last a while

Switch, that's received. Silicon sound openers, so bottoming out is not only quiet but pleasant on your fingers and it's also a really smooth switch. ...
