Quartz V3 no yellow switches? Pro Type Ultra no Chroma? | Razer Insider
Skip to main content
Maybe I'm asking too much, and I really like Razer but is my need so very specific that they just don't bother to make it?

I want a white keyboard, yellow switches, with Chroma. Seems like something Razer would have and sell TONS of. I'd put my phantom keycaps on it and it would be GLORY.



Story Time!

I went looking for replacement keycaps for my Ornata Chroma because the current ones have rubbed off in the expected places for an avid gamer and writer who also happens to have adorable nails that destroy keycaps. Two otherwise very helpful workers in the Seattle Razer store assured me that the Phantom keycaps would work for the Ornata. I felt this was suspect, but it didn't hurt to try. As I thought, they are not compatible, but the store is new and I guess they don't know all the items yet? I was a little annoyed, but mistakes happen. It's cool.



Anyway I've got these white keycaps, decided I'd love to have a full size white keyboard with Chroma, and I want better actuation than the green switches. I type a LOT for work, and play games that are reaction-based. Yellow switches are a must now, if I'm going to stick with Razer.

I found the Pro Type Ultra, which is a full-sized keyboard, but only white LEDs for... some reason? I thought perhaps it was to keep the cost down, but at 160 USD, that's obviously not the case. Has yellow switches, though, so that might work. But white LEDs are not what I'm looking for, especially with Phantom keycaps being what I wanted to use.



Okay, maybe just a BlackWidow V3, then. Nothing else I have is black other than this keyboard, and I'm sick of black. Quartz is in BlackWidow V3, great! I'll get that, with yellow switches and just put that in my cart...



Ope, nevermind. For some reason Quartz doesn't come with the higher performance switch option? That's... disappointing.

In summary, am I the only one? Does no one else want a full-sized white keyboard with Chroma with yellow switches? I am STUMPED at why at the very least the Quartz BW V3 doesn't have yellow switches as an option.
