Good keyboard, wrong description on site

The description for this keyboard is wrong. This keyboard is the Razer Blackwidow X Tournament Edition. It's entirely different from the regular Blackwidow Tournament Edition. The description on the site says it has a detachable cable and a carrying case included, it does not. The original Blackwidow TE did, and it looks like they just copy pasted the description from the old version to the new listing.
As for the keyboard itself, it's great so far. The switches feel very nice, and are similar to cherry MX blue switches. It's also very compact which is great for someone like me who want's to maximize desk space at the cost of losing a numpad. The build quality is also alot nicer than previous Blackwidow keyboards I've owned in the past, this time the top plate is a nice solid metal, with the keys being exposed. I think it's a much nicer design, but since the entire top is exposed there is nothing for the lighting to reflect off of so it's not as bright as the previous models. There's also nice cable routing on the bottom of the board, so if you like to turn your keyboard on an angle while you're playing like me you can have the cable for it running out of the side instead of the top. The biggest change that I like is the font on the keycaps. The previous models had this weird childish looking font on the keycaps, but this one has a nice normal looking font that's very crisp.
The keyboard is an overall 4/5 for me, but I'm rating it a 1/5 until they fix the listing on the site. As a customer I feel like it's misleading (i could care less for the carrying case and removable cable, but other customers who actually care about them will be upset) and as an employee it just makes us look bad and creates customer disappointment. I'll update this review when the listing is changed, and over the life of the product as far as durability goes.
