I've owned two Blackwidow keyboards: a Tournament Edition with Razer Greens and an Ultimate 2013 with Cherry MX Blues. As infern0 said, they are great keyboards for shorthopping and feel very solid. However, I also have issues mashing quickly with them, and both of the left shift keys on the keyboards started to have issues after not a lot of time. So yes, they're nice keyboards while they last, but the problem is that they DON'T really last. The keyboards are relatively cheap as far as mechanical keyboards go, though, so you kinda get what you pay for.
I won't be buying another Razer keyboard and will instead look into the Corsair K-series and Ducky keyboards. I want to do some testing with other switches (primarily Reds) to see how they feel for fangames, but I have a good feeling Blues are what I will end up sticking with.
Also, I've heard from a few people that it's impossible to 1-frame on Razer Blackwidow Chroma keyboards due to the keys sticking, so I would definitely steer away from those. There are plenty of other colorful keyboards that are higher quality for similar prices.
Kefitko once bought a keyboard with Topre switches and absolutely hated them so much for fangames that he returned it the day after. So don't get a Topre keyboard either.
