  More and more I see that somehow Razer users don't give a damn about their keyboards AT ALL (bought Blackwidow 2013, 2014 and 2016 second-hand)...
context: Good deal but lord that is nasty, give it a deep clean before you use it any more, please.. >
  
  The keys are getting a bath right now. Didn't have an air canister so the keyboard without keys went to the garage and had a leaf blower dusting. >
  
  My bloody brother used my canned air, wish I'd thought of this myself for all the times I needed air 😔😔😔 >
  
  Get a small electric can of air on Amazon or something >
  
  Ooh I hadn't heard of those, thanks >
  
  Good find, congratulations!
  For cleaning, I'd start by removing the keycaps and giving them a bath in some warm soapy water. While they're soaking, take a vacuum with the brush attachment to get all the dust and nastiness. You could air can it, but I personally wouldn't want to blow the dirt and who know what else in my house. Rinse and completely dry the keycaps and you should be good to go. Happy typing >
  
  Lovely. Thanks so much! 🙏 >
  
  Baby wipes for disinfecting on top. I mainly use these as that's also what I use to keep my mousepad maintained alongside a lint roller. >
  
  I've heard Lint rollers leave tiny glue particles that make dirt accumulate faster. There's a type of stiff brush called an upholstery brush that some say works better. >
  
  I will look into this. Would it not damage the surface of the pad? I want to keep the surface just right. I have a stupid light mouse at 23 grams and everything lol >
  
  I just looked at it. I'd rather use a makeup brush and some micro fiber if I didn't already run that In the form of non-alcohol baby wipes. Lint roller seems still necessary for less frequent use though >
  
  Good cleaning products to use:
  -Isopropyl Holy Water
  -Pot over hellfire stovetop
  -Cloth from the local rabbi
  great find btw >
  
  Thought I might need to use some chemicals from breaking bad but soapy water on the keys (caps? Still learning the language) did wonders. All clean now just drying before reassembly. >
  
  This is quite the good deal.
  especially since the keyboard is 200$ new >
  
  it’s not worth 200 new that hella overpriced >
  
  True, just like with all Razer stuff its overpriced. >
  
  Hey all. I started lurking here a while back and thought that even though I don't type all day for my work, having a nicer keyboard will give me just a bit more joy so i can smile more during long days working from home. I was intimidated by some of the prices so I decided to wait until a good deal came along. Never had any mechanical keyboards before. Hopefully I got a decent one!
  Do I need to use both USB plugs? Any cleaning tips? Glad to be a part of the community! >
  
  You can use one of the USB plugs, one is just for wrist wrest underglow (I think). Pretty sure the cable labeled “Razer,” is the main one you use.
  For cleaning, I would first wipe away whatever you can (gunk, dust, etc) then use an air duster can to spray away what you can’t get. If you don’t want to buy one, you can use a Q-tip but it won’t be as efficient. If there is stains that you can’t get rid of, rubbing alcohol would do the job. 
  Some people spray their keyboards with water, but please be careful. It’s very easy to mess up and make sure you dry the keyboard for 2-3 days before plugging it.
  Anyways, congrats on your first keyboard! >
  
  Thanks a ton. I appreciate it! >
  
  Post another picture after cleaning! >
  
  The fact that you got it for $15 completely removed any argument i have that this is a bad keyboard. Enjoy your absolute steal :) >
  
  I got a steelseries apex TKL or smthn like that at a garage sale for $5. It took like 10 CLOROX WIPES to clean. There was full head of hair in there. >
  
  🤢 >
  
  You can't go wrong for $15. >
  
  it's a pretty good introduction into mechanical keyboard, also how are you finding the razer software from my personal experience it was very annoying to use but that was a couple years ago and im curious if it's gotten any better >
  
  Just got it this morning. Plugged it in for a quick test and then sent straight to the hazmat area (my sink/garage) for cleaning. Keys are drying and I'll reassemble once dry and try the software at that point. >
  
  Congrats! Deep cleaning that should prove satisfying. >
  
  Thanks! >
  
  That's rad! My first mechanical keyboard was also $15 at a goodwill. The current one I use I picked up pretty cheap on marketplace. No need to drop a ton of cash to enjoy mechanical keyboard goodness if you are patient and know where to look! >
  
  And not the last ;) >
  
  Now that's a steal >
  
  I got a huntsman TKL for around $5 at a thrift store too! Pretty cool keyboard, but the actuation is way too dang high. Given how smooth the linear switch is, I kept making mistakes and hitting the g key on accident, wasting grenades in Wolfenstein. >
  
  I don't think I would use the word nice to describe this keyboard. Good find but looks like it has a disease. Happy hunting :-) >
  
  Gloves on and cleaning time 🪥 >
  
  free gamer juice crust included >
  
  Might wanna remove the key caps and wash them in some soapy water. Air can spray the board while the caps soak. Should be like new. >
  
  Congratulations, great to see people get satisfaction from gear that’s reasonably priced with a bit of fixup!! >
  
  Thanks! The cleaning process is pretty relaxing and satisfying to see it looking brand new in an afternoon. >
  
  Horrible keyboard imo, but my opinion matters not at all. You searched and found a thing you like at a great price. Good for you! Sincerely. Enjoy your first keeb and welcome to the rabbit hole. >
  
  I wouldn’t say horrible, but yeah there’s much better out there. This was my first mechanical keyboard in 20 years since the days when it was the only option and I couldn’t go on the computer if mom was napping on the couch… I really enjoyed it for the 2 years I used it and it definitely bumped up my typing speed. 
  I only started looking at new keyboards because the elite is loud asf with the clicky keys. Something I like at first, but I was getting sick of having to make sure I was mute all the time because my keyboard was so loud. I recently bought a Keychron Q6 full size and absolutely love it. And I don’t have to be so careful with my mute button anymore! 
  Either way you can’t beat 15 bucks >
  
  Wow, that is awesome. I'm still waiting for the day I find a mechanical keyboard at my local thrift store, and I'd love to find a Razer keyboard since I'm a huge Razer fanboy. >
  
  $15 for someone elses boogers! >
  
  Are you sure it's the Huntsman? It looks EXACTLY like my Razer Blackwidow Elite. >
  
  Yup. Just knew the model from reading the back. Learning a ton today already! >
  
  Nice find, check the volume control because it’s the worst part in this keyboard.. I suffered with mine not properly controlling the volume >
  
  It works! Tried it right before putting the key caps in a bath. >
  
  I donated my click Blackwidow chroma a few years back. I hope it found a good home too. Congrats on the new board! >
  
  Nice find! Happy typing :) >
  
  I had one during quarantine when I was working from home. Still some of my favorite clicky keys to this day. Congrats on the great find! >
  
  My first mechanical keyboard was a barely used but cheap Razer Huntsman TE from Facebook marketplace. It made me want to get more into mechanical keyboards. >
  
  That’s like 10$ of free DNA >
  
  Nice white arrow >
  
  I love that keyboard. I just went from it after 2 years to a keychron. Something to be wary of, and maybe even how it ended up at a thrift store, is that damn volume knob. For me, it ended up failing and would just crank my pc volume from 2 to 100 in an instant with no way to turn it down or mute it until it was done being an idiot. This is a known (but I'm unsure just how common) problem with this model and there are fixes if you do run into it. I spent months thinking it was my new speakers or drivers on the pc before figuring out the culprit so I thought I'd just give you a heads up. Otherwise, my fav razer I ever owned and would recommend to anyone. Enjoy it, $15 is a steal! Mine was $260 somethin lol >
  
  That’s a great deal for what I presume is a $100+ keyboard brand new. Hope it serves you well! >
  
  or just clean it and be happy >
  
  That’s a whole lotta cleaning >
  
  true but my time ain't worth shit
