Which one these keyboards?

I have watched reviews and still can't decide which one of these .

Razer BlackWidow Ultimate or SteelSeries Apex Gaming.

Depends, do you want a mechanical keyboard or not?
Thats the only big difference between the two I can see.

What do you mean mechanical ?

Refers to the keyswitch the keyboard uses, the Steelseries uses Membrane switches and the Razer uses Cherry MX Blue Mechanical switches.
In a nutshell.

Basically they give a lot more tactile (and audible if you want) feeback when your pushing down the key, as well as being a bit more solid to push. After using a mechanical for a while, eventually Membrane keyboards start to feel "mushy".

So you are saying mechanical is better for gaming ?

Not saying their better, just they feel different. Some people hate the feel of mechanical keyboards.
Most I can say is look into it more and decide that for yourself. I love my mechanical, but not all do. See if you can find a Gamestop nearby that's showing off a Blackwidow, that will let you be able to feel a mechanical keyboard before you decide to buy.

From experience I have the black widow ultimate and LOVE IT! Although its expensive typing with it is bliss and they macro keys help a lot with games the Like DOTA and games that require large sequences of hotkeys I would highly recommend it.
