Razer BlackWidow Chroma Edition Customizable Backlighting Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
Cons:The thickness of the base makes it hard on the wrists. The Vespula mouse pad system is a must.
Pros:The heavy/strong design of this keyboard will impress. The lighting is super bright and the user interface to program has a small learning curve. The headphone/USB jack is side mounted for easy access. I had a issue with this keyboard out of the box. I would have to say that Razer is easy to deal with for troubleshooting their product. Comment:
It gets a 8.5/10 mark. I also have other mechanical keyboards I would have to say if you want to spend the money this is where its at. My other closest comparable board was about $139.99 and was a 7.5/10. WHO CAN ARGUE WITH A RAINBOW!If you like the mechanical clicking this baby comes fully loaded with clicks. The key depressions are bang on. I can depress slightly typing a letter and get a character and then I can be gaming and stressed mashing the board and it responds perfectly.I have in the last 70 days put about 3 hours a day on this board playing the paint on the FN and other higher use keys is still unchanged. I have pulled all the keys off and cleaned it once. Fast easy and enjoyable. There is a great knowledge in knowing that this board can be maintained at home. |

Razer BlackWidow Chroma Edition Customizable Backlighting Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
Cons:Kaihl switches =XFingerprints galore no amount of hand washing will keep it clean
Pros:very bright, colors are vivid very simple to use Comment:
First off Kailh switches: I know they are similar to Cherry MX but until Kailh can give us a full explanation/transparency to how they test their keys and whether if they meet some code of satisfaction I can't agree that they are equal/ superior to Cherry MX.Second, Fingerprints!!!! I thought this was an obvious problem with the other generation blackwidows. It attracts my fingerprints way to easily I mean yes I do like the glossy look but if you were to weigh the 2 with each other I can do without that gloss. I am by all means quite a neat person, I don't eat beside my computer, my hands don't sweat even when playing for hours but in the winter I need that hand cream on, however with or without cream it still manages to get smudges. =(The brightness of this keyboard gives it a very nice pop of color (Brighter then the corsair RGB I've used one at a friends house) which is more noticeable when it transitions to different cycles of colour. Don't worry you can adjust the brightness if it's affecting your usage =) Is it worth 189.99$? For some reason I feel gypped since the corsair rgb is the same price with the extra layer of protection against electric static discharge the model gives it and the German tested Cherry MX. Hopefully the LEDs last long If you do decide to get one of these keyboards I'd suggest to wait for the price to dial down a notch instead of getting it so you can type on a rainbow XD |
This is a fantastic keyboard, it's built rock solid, LEDs are perfectly bright, and the software is easy to use but could still use some improvements. Definitely feels different from typing on Cherry keys, but still feels alright (still 1000% better than using membrane keys). Very expensive, but I think it's worth the price.
