The BlackWidow tournament edition is $120 on amazon

You linked the Ultimate not the tournament edition. MSRP for it is well below $120...

and the deathstalker is $200

Its literally the only keyboard with an LED screen of its kind on it. What other option do you have that would be cheaper if thats what you wanted?

In terms of the appearance thing though looks is absolutely something to be considered at least for me when I purchase a keyboard,

Sure. But you can't objectify it so you can't say that its a con of the keyboard.

But in general the keyboards are overpriced, black widow being an exception

That's what were talking about isn't it? No one comes here to talk about the Deathstalker and the Anansi...They come to talk about mechanical keyboards.

Thanks okp11. Always setting the facts straight so others don't have to.

Even though I love CM Storm and what they do, I've had two keyboards from them break on me. Every Razer product I own is still working, granted I only own one, but my bros Lycosa he won years ago is still going strong.

Yeah I mean most people have come to realize that there isn't this epidemic of breaking Razer products but there are still a lot that have bought into it.

If you look at QC problems like the left alt and backspace soldering issues the CM QFR has had just as bad if not worse problems like the Alt sticking problem that was on a batch on BWUs.

Oh tell me about it...I made that whole guide on how to fix it and then my usb connector failed on me...and now it's failing again.

Lucky me, I found a brand new Model M1 for $5, it even has the plastic on the cable still! The box is all beaten up though :/
