Now, to keep it simple there are two versions, a full keyboard and a smaller 'tenkeyless' version under the 'Tournament Edition' tag. Since its release in September last year, the 'Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Chroma' has recently undergone a more palatable naming scheme for its various versions, quietly ushering out the 'Ultimate' moniker from the Chroma range. The new switch by Greetech is definitely worth it and if Razer would implement a magnetic wrist rest like the one found on their unreleased "Ornata" keyboard, as well as the addition of a mute button/volume wheel, it would be the perfect keyboard for me.Product on Review: Razer BlackWidow Tournament Edition Chroma Out of all these keyboards, the BlackWidow X Chroma is currently my daily keyboard for both typing and gaming, Razer has definitely taken a step in the right direction. Razer BlackWidow Chroma 2014 with Kailh Razer Green switch Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2013 with MX Blues Overall Review: This is a list of all previous mechanical keyboards I've owned: No dedicated media keys, the FN keys can do pretty much everything but the time I spent with the Corsair LUX RGB and Azio RGB keyboards spoiled me with the mute button and volume wheel/knob. For a $160 keyboard it would be nice if Razer started including some extras such as a keycap puller, wrist rest, etc. I know this is a limitation due to where the LED is placed and the only real way to fix that would be to place both primary and secondary characters next to each other. this can be disabled in Synapse though for those that prefer to have their own lighting effect.Ĭons: -Secondary characters are still not illuminated. For example, the keyboard will change lighting effects based on your character, when a cooldown comes up or an ultimate etc. Chroma apps is new in Razer Synapse and it sets up profiles for some games such as Overwatch. The keyboard lighting effects are saved onto the keyboard itself so it will remember your last used profile with or without Synapse installed on your PC. Razer Synapse is still light on resources, it only uses about 40MB of RAM on my system which is less than one page of Google Chrome. Lighting is very bright, although not as bright as the original BlackWidow Chroma due to no longer having the white backplate.
New font looks a lot more clean and professional. Also quite a heavy keyboard weighing slightly over three pounds giving it a premium feel. It doesn't attract fingerprints but note it does attract dust. New metal finish looks and feels a lot more premium than the old one found on the original BlackWidow Chroma. The Tournament X variant of this keyboard has Cherry stabilizers which is one of the main reasons I opted for the full sized version instead. They feel a lot more solid anywhere you press the keys. Costar stabilizers are used on this keyboard which I and many other people greatly prefer over the Cherry stabilizers. With the new Razer Green switch, they've bumped up the warranty from one year to two years. Razer has brought back traditional MX Blues for those that prefer them, but only on the BlackWidow Ultimate. Supposedly these are now rated to last 80 million instead of 60 million but only time will tell if that's true. These new switches sound better and feel a lot more crisp than the 2014 Razer Green switch. Pros: -Razer has switched manufacturer of their switches from Kailh to Greetech and with that, there's been a vast improvement to switch quality.
