Starting with the BlackWidow Ultimate, Razer moved from Cherry MX mechanical switches to its own Razer Mechanical Switches, which have shorter actuation (the distance the key travels before triggering a keystroke) and reset (the distance the key travels on the way back up before it registers another keystroke. Razer claims to have over 16.8 million color options that you can customize in your keyboard (thus the 'Chroma' in the name). You can select certain colors for certain keys, or let the colors wave across the keyboard.

Once you install the necessary software on your PC to run the keyboard, you can set up custom profiles, such as specific color schemes and macro settings for different games.Д¬ustomizable, colored backlighting is one big way Razer differentiates the BlackWidow Tournament Edition Chroma from earlier portable Razer keyboards we've reviewed. It's similar in design to the 2012 Razer BlackWidow Tournament Edition, except as soon as you plug it in, you notice the waving colors on the backlit keys. It also comes with a black carrying case.

You can check out even more pics, plus videos and sound tests for the new Yellow switch on the official Razer site.Design and FeaturesThe BlackWidow Tournament Edition Chroma measures 14.4 by 6.06 by 1.18 inches (HWD) and weighs slightly more than two pounds, making it easy to take along for tournament play and LAN parties. The Razer BlackWidow Chroma V2 price remains unchanged from its predecessor at $169.99 and is available starting today. The Synapse software lets you program any key you want and the dedicated Macro key on the BlackWidow lets you create custom macros on the fly. Razer Synapse also offers custom profiles for several popular games ( Overwatch is my poison) but you're not beholden to the gaming profiles. Besides looking incredibly cool when you're typing (I'm partial to the Reactive color scheme), you can sync your lighting features across all your Chroma devices. Even nicer for being detachable for those who think wrist rests are evil and must be stopped at all costs. Nice for thoseВ who end up with sore wrists after hours at the keyboard. Razer is, of course, gearing this new switch towards their fanbase that lives onВ FPS and MOBA games but for a touch typist like myself who can bang out 85-90 wpm when he gets going, fast keystrokesВ are a blessing.ДЇor those marathon sessions, Razer is now including aВ magnetic wrist rest that you can attach to the bottom of the BlackWidow V2 keyboard. The Yellow switch sports a 'linear and silent design and reduced travel distance' to allow you to press keys even faster than before.

In addition to brighter Chroma lighting and a smudge-free top cover ( finally), Razer is adding a brand newВ Razer Yellow switch to its existing Green (super clicky) and Orange (less clicky) lineup. Today, Razer isВ launching the BlackWidow V2. With its glossy blackВ finish, braided USB cable, and individually lit, Chroma-enabled keys, theВ Razer BlackWidow Chroma mechanical gaming keyboards are immediately recognizable and look nothing like your typical plastic hunt-and-peck fodder. One glanceВ is all you need to know that this deckВ is different. If teenage me back in the 90s had known about Razer BlackWidow keyboards, he would have wondered what kind of amazing science-fiction future he was growing up into.
