Review on Experience Elite Gaming with Razer BlackWidow Mechanical Keyboard: ๐ŸŽฎ Green Switches, Tactile & Clicky, Chroma RGB Lighting, Anti-Ghosting, Programmable Macros! by Ameer Kobblewood

Revainrating 4 out of 5

This is a Razer keyboard and it just works!

Well it has RGB, lots of RGB and is fully customizable through many apps, including of course Razer Chroma Studio. It works well with MSI Dragon Center and is compatible with many games that support Razer products, such as: Apex Legends where the keyboard explodes with the fast swiping of the menu as well as the colors on the keyboard. I mean, these effects can be turned off, but they're fun and can be conversation starters for anyone seeing your rig for the first time. Still, it prints reasonably well, which is understandably not the best experience; because it's very tactile and more game-oriented. It's clicking, but not as loud as you'd think, still loud enough but satisfying, at least for me. However, others may prefer a more linear switch. Razer's green switches are similar to the blue switches, but are much smoother and give you the tactile feedback you've come to expect. However, there are times when you can lose a little control and gain an advantage when you're in the heat of the moment, which is common with any keyboard, but is all too common with standard keycaps. However, Razer sells higher quality keycaps, and if you value your symbols being "lit" from F1 to F12 and below your numbers 1 to 10 (- or =), you might want to pick up this kit. It's not a terrible experience, but it can be annoying in certain scenarios. Additionally, the build quality of this keyboard is top-notch, well-weighted with quality materials that just feel great. The lighting is bright, but note that the Razer switches only light up from the top, and there's a white background under the keys that actually spreads the lighting evenly across the keyboard, giving it a more Tron-like glow. Individual keys can be individually backlit, even the Razer logo at the bottom, which I really like. There's not much more to say than that this is Razer's mid-range variant, which feels really premium and will likely get even better with custom keycaps. Overall I'm impressed with the board and have a feeling it will hold up well over time. I highly recommend pick up. 4 out of 5
