So long story short, my HyperX cloud 2 headset usb to aux adapter broke, as i was unplugging it,
i knocked over a cup of nice ice cold water straight onto my keyboard, and my mouse. Its a very sad morning for me.

The Razer Cynosa is no longer available at stores, only available on amazon for like 5x the price.
My Question is do i spend $69.99 for a Corsair K55 keyboard that has 5 Macro buttons? ( knowing the RGB lights are not that bright )
Or do i spend $149.99 or $196.99 on the Razer blackwidow v4 / V4 pro full size , with the macro buttons.

Not sure i want to spend that much on a keyboard, but the RGB lights are like 3x as bright which is nice, and i would still be able to use the same Synapse software that i don't even use lol.

Otherwise does anyone know of any decent gaming keyboards in the $100-170 range, that might also includ an aux port?
kinda tired of USB to aux doungles, and aux extensions ect keep getting caught in my chair wheels and breaking my wheels.

Gotta buy a new chair too... sigh. Any thoughts would be appreciated, thank you.

Ended up getting the BlackWidow V4 pro " Full Size "
Hopefully they make an " Extra Large Size "

This keyboard is Designed with like 90% spacing compared to an average keyboard.
Would Recommend it for maybe kids or early teens with smaller fingers, but not for adults , and especially the elderly.

Example i hit the Right - Arrow key , 100 times as a test , and out of 100 Times i also hit the " 0 " number pad key 31 times.

I swear if they would of just added like a Piece of of space between each key.... there wouldn't really be any noticeable issue.

So now i either Return this keyboard, or Cook the Skin off my hands & fingers, only leaving the bones...

Keyboard clicking noise is nice & loud, but there is nothing to prevent the keys from smacking the plastic, and the spacebar is ridiculous.

I use to be a big razer fan. I have always found blackwidows overpriced and overrated. I swapped over to Logitech pro and g series lightspeed and never looked back.

Yeah i ended up trying it again for about 1 hour this morning, razer sure just doesn't make good keyboards like they used to.
Absolutely love the idea of 3 macro buttons on left side of keyboard, but didn't like the 5 keys on top.
Decided not to get the Corsair K55 for that reason.

Returned The razer keyboard, ended up buying the HyperX Alloy core RGB , because its Very similar to the razer cynosa chroma v1 .

plastic wrist rest is just a pinch shorter and smaller in height, ( Faintly noticeable ) but easy to get used to, and if your like me and have a keyboard/ mouse pad full size... just put a layer of ducktape towards the front....
height will be the same, and perfection.

Can get new front rubber pads instead of duck tape too.

Anyways , im happy now, back to gaming !!



If they ever make a razer cynosa V3..... With the Razer logo from V1 , and the rubber volume buttons from V2 , adding the 3 macro's on left side, and maybe even some kind of USB to Aux port extension feature....
i would pay $499.99 for it. Gurantee, and im sure millions of others would too.
