Unfortunately, this high is tempered by odd but significant quirks. The latter provides granular control over ever last key, giving you the chance to tinker to your heart’s content. You have the ability to modify practically anything about your deck, too this can be done through in-the-moment macros (via the FN and F9 keys) or Razer’s Synapse software. In other news, it doesn’t take up much real-estate on your desk and the ability to program any key-and carry those bindings with you, no matter the computer-more than make up for a lack of dedicated macro keys like the ones you’d find on Corsair’s K95 Platinum.

Still, one (subjective) complaint thus far isn’t bad going. You won’t have much reason to care if it stays at home, but this is a factor worth considering for those who’ll use the BlackWidow in an office/shared environment. In fact, they remain some of the most satisfying keys we’ve used in the office thanks to minimum wobble, negligible input lag, and a weighty, button-like ‘clack’ as you press down. Indeed, the Green mechanical switches have lost none of their charm they’re tactile and clicky enough to make it seem as if you’re hammering away on a typewriter. While a lack of USB or audio passthrough is disappointing, this deck shares the same fantastic keys that made its predecessors special. Essentially? It’s the perfect middle-ground in both features and cost (it’ll set you back £119.99). Although there’s still no wrist-wrest, it goes one better than that model by including a numeric keypad along with its compact, matte-black shell. For our money, it’s also more versatile than the cheaper Tournament Edition. In other words, the only things missing are passthroughs, dedicated media buttons, and the kitchen sink. It is available now for $159.99.So, what’s the difference between this and other BlackWidow decks? It’s basically a ‘greatest hits’ remix, offering the still-excellent Green mechanical switches for tactile clickiness, an absurd number of RGB color combinations (16.8 million, to be precise), fully programmable keys with on-the-fly macro recording, on-board memory and cloud storage, 1000Hz Ultrapolling, and the usual N-key rollover and anti-ghosting we’ve come to expect from Razer. The BlackWidow X Chroma despite sharing the same RGB lighting as the BlackWidow Chroma, lacks the five dedicated macro keys and USB / audio passthrough. This marks the first time Razer will use Cherry MX switches since the 2014 BlackWidow lineup. These versions with Cherry MX switches will be priced $10 lower than their Razer switch counterparts. These keyboards are the BlackWidow Ultimate 2016, BlackWidow X Ultimate, and BlackWidow X Tournament Edition. Razer has also announced that some of its BlackWidow keyboards will soon be available with Cherry MX Blue switches.

The new BlackWidow X keyboards are X Chroma, X Tournament Edition Chroma, X Ultimate, and X Tournament Edition. Additionally, BlackWidow X keyboards use a different keycap lettering font that is smaller and more traditional looking. Priced $10 lower, the BlackWidow X keyboards lack the protective top cover of the BlackWidow keyboards leaving the metal mounting plate exposed. Razer has announced the new lineup BlackWidow X mechanical gaming keyboards, a budget friendlier counterpart to the BlackWidow keyboards.
