Razer BlackWidow Mechanical Gaming Keyboard: Green Mechanical Switches, Tactile & Clicky, Chroma RGB Lighting, Anti-Ghosting, Programmable Macro Functionality

I was buying this keyboard to replace my 2016 Blackwidow Ultimate which despite being dropped and slammed a few times, has held up rather well, but I thought maybe it was time for an upgrade. this newer Blackwidow simply could not live up to its predecessor. Used it for about 10 days and it just started flashing and not typing at all. Razer Synapse would not even recognize that it was connected. I tried everything (restarting, reinstalling razer synapse, different usb port) and the same result was observed every time. Im extremely disappointed and most likely will not be buying any more razer products. Only reason it gets 2 stars is because it is has an amazing feel to it and the razer chroma looked fantastic (when it was working lol)

The keys kinda like stick I can’t really explain it but like you keep walking forward after you let go of that key. But other than that I love the keyboard the sound the ergonomics organization the way the keys feel I love it

Brightness and color adjustable. Key strokes feel firm but easy to use. Keyboard layout is comfortable to use and my fingers dont feel too spread out or too cramped together.

This keyboard is an amazing keyboard when integrated with the software that goes with it however keep in mind the software itself can be buggy, more specifically the driver, after continuous usage I am finding ghost keystrokes/repeating keys becoming more and more common you can uninstall the driver and reinstall it to fix the issue for a little while but it will come back, this issue lowers the accuracy of the keyboard for gaming and in the case of myself can be quite dangerous playing survival games where a lot of the game is on platforms where you can potentially fall to your death. Great keyboard if you can get around those issues, however if you need accuracy in your gaming I suggest looking at other models from this brand

I decided to purchase this keyboard on a whim, I’ve had dozens of mechanical keyboards and I can assure you, this one does not feel the best. One thing however is that aesthetically, it’s pleasing. I enjoy a full size keyboard for normal day to day typing but when it comes to gaming, I prefer a ten keyless. Essentially, got it at a DISCOUNT, would buy it again for the same price. I don’t however recommend buying this full price.

I like typing with this keyboard. Clicks are perfect and the rgb and key bindings are very customizable through the synapse app. Problem with the lighting is that the shift keys dont light up, so using the secondary keys for the numbers can sometimes be annoying if you dont have them memorized. Volume control is a bit of work, requiring the pressing of 2 keys rather than just a set of dedicated ones. It can be an inconvenience. Overall, its a good fun mechanical keyboard. But there are better.

I started work from home and the company I work for provided me a keyboard that something you would get from a Box Store, and really crappy. It had no back lighting at all, and the elevation feet for it were broke off. So I went with something close to what I have on my Gaming PC, and cant say anything negative about it, it does what I need it to do and dont have to worry about keys sticking or not working at all!

This keyboard is a great addition to the Razer ecosystem of high quality, reliable products. I thoroughly enjoy using this keyboard when coding and playing games. The customizable RGB is quite enjoyable and I love having all the chroma synced on my Razer products. I currently have the Razer monitor, mousepad, mouse, and keyboard, headset, and have Razer speakers in the mail and on their way!

I got this product as an open box at a cheap price (compared to the MRSP). The product arrived in neat condition, almost new but in another box (made by Razer but not the original). There arent any major complaints about this product. Razer has done an amazing job with the software, very few brands make RGBs as good as Razer and this product is no exception. Now the keys. Razer uses proprietary green switches, these switches feel very similar to Cherry MX Blue but the sound compared to other Cherry MX keyboards Ive tested is different, it has this lower tone compared to MX Blue and I prefer this sound. So why do I give 4 stars despite having said so many good things about the keyboard? It all comes to quality control, the keys themself dont feel cheap, however, if you take a closer look you will notice that there is an excess of plastic in the lower edges of each key. Fortunately, you can remove them easily with a small flat screwdriver but this is unacceptable for a $120 keyboard (at MSRP).

Really like this mechanical keyboard, but was very pleasantly surprised how the Razer software puts all my background apps into a mode I think of as starved so memory is available when playing my games. Games running better, didnt expect that. Key lighting is set up just for gaming too. Very happy with it.
