The Blackwidow Chroma V2 is a solid, all-around gaming keyboard that’s got all the features to recommend it. That said, typing on it does feel good, and the keys register your presses exactly where you’d expect. Typing on it is an event for anyone that’s nearby to share in, so if that’s an issue, you might want to look into the Orange or Yellow switches instead. The Razer Green switches have an audible click, and it’s one of, if not the, loudest mechanical keyboards I have ever used. While I really like gaming with the BlackWidow Chroma V2, if this is going to be your main keyboard, be forewarned: this thing is LOUD. Sure, there are the five dedicated macro keys, but if you want to rearrange your keyboard, you’ve got that power.
While you’re in the software, you can also reprogram every key on the keyboard to do whatever you like.
You can also set up your own lighting profiles, which is surprisingly easy in Razer’s Synapse software, and you can easily sync the profiles you create to all your Chroma-enabled devices. That means you can choose from a number of preset patterns, like simulated fire, starfields, or even waves of shifting colors. That is, until you plug the thing in and all the lights come on.Īs the name would suggest, the V2 includes Razer’s Chroma lighting technology. There’s not a lot of flashiness here, just a smooth black finish that looks great. Overall, the look of the Blackwidow Chroma V2 is kind of minimalist, much like the Ornata before it. It seems to be even softer than the one I liked so much on the Ornata, and the magnets seem more powerful as well. It’s got a leather-like surface with some nice padding, and it attaches magnetically to the keyboard.

Of course, this means that the other end of the seven-foot braided cable has two USB plugs and a headset plug as well, so you’ll want to make sure you have enough free ports for those features.Īnother new addition to this keyboard is a wrist rest that’s very similar to the one included with the Razer Ornata Chroma that we reviewed last month. You’ll also notice that there’s a USB 2.0 passthrough port on the right side of the keyboard, as well as a headphone jack.

While it’s not a huge keyboard, it does work in a full numpad on the right and a row of five programmable macro keys on the left. The newest BlackWidow will certainly look familiar if you’ve seen any of its predecessors. The new Yellow switch is designed with a reduced travel distance that Razer says “allows keys to be pressed faster than ever before.” All of the switches are rated for 80 million keystrokes, which Razer says is “the highest mark amongst current generation mechanical switches.” There’s also the Razer Orange, which has the tactile bump but not the click, and the new Razer Yellow that’s mechanical without the click or the tactile bump. My review unit uses the Razer Green switches, which feature an audible click and a tactile bump, much like a Cherry MX Blue. The V2 is available with three different switches, all manufactured by Razer.
