Razer BlackWidow Ultimate backlight question

[thepcphysician]

Hello all,

I want to buy a Razer BlackWidow Ultimate, and I want a red backlight. That leaves me to choose between the Battlefield 3 edition and the Dragon Age 2 edition. I initially thought both were identical other than the graphics on the front (don't really care), but upon closer examination of the official product photos, it seems like the Dragon Age version has a redder backlight, whereas the BF3 version has a more orange-y tone. Can anyone experienced with these keyboards confirm or deny this? I'm looking for a color similar to my current keyboard, the Sidewinder X4.

I'm also open to other mechanical keyboard recommendations, provided they have a red backlight.

Thanks!

Only dragon age 2 edition has red. The battlefield always has been orange.

I just picked up this Mionix Zibal 60, feels great, very expensive and makes me a keyboard douchebag.

Also it's green 😀

What does your buying a completely different keyboard have to do with the OP? Is it something in the vein of, if you don't just randomly post it no one will know you spent a silly amount of money on a keyboard?

You're right, I'm sorry OP. I'll consider my replies going forward.

This is probably the only other one on the market with Red leds

lastly as a word of advice the world of mechanical keyboard doesn't really have room to be picky about stuff like backlighting, and if you are determined to have red backlighting you may have to do i on your own. I suggest suspending this a red led light above your keyboard which should achieve the same effect

heres a link for the led:

Please don't buy the BlackWidow. Razer will never improve their shoddy build quality and specs if their stuff keeps selling as is. The only model in their entire line that even has proper n-key rollover is the Stealth Ultimate.

Elitekeyboards.com has most of their keyboards on sale for 89$.
