Q: Are there more colors or is there only one?

A: This only has the green option, but you can choose how vibrant the green is. If you want programmable colors check out their chroma keyboards.

Q: i want to use my own credit card

A: Permission granted.

Q: Can you program hot keys?

A: Yes you can with razer synapse 2.0 all keys can be reprogrammed

Q: Hey guys. So I just purchased this keyboard because I fell in love with how it feels and sounds. (I am not a gamer) and upon plugging it in the lights on the keyboard are just constantly pulsing. I tried the companion windows app and there no light option

A: You can use the app to change the pulsing to a steady light. I had the same issue that took me a bit to figure out. It's a lighting style you choose. Sorry can't be more specific, I already replaced mine because I hated the loud clicking of the keys.

Q: What's the difference between this keyboard and the Razer Ornata Chroma?

A: The primary difference is the type of switch used for the keys. This uses the "Razer Green" mechanical switch, which is actually a version of Blue made by Greetech and re-branded by Razer. It has a slightly shorter actuation distance and total travel distance compared to the original Cherry MX Blue switch, which makes it slightly more responsive and better feeling, imo. The Ornata keyboards use an interesting switch type that is a combination of membrane dome and scissor. It's essentially a switch that provides a feeling similar to a mechanical switch while being far less expensive to produce. Personally, I like the feeling of a real mechanical switch better, but you may find the feel of the Ornata switch to suit you just fine.

Q: where does the audio /mic plug go '

A: Audio jacks on right side edge.

Q: do the keys make a clicky noise

A: Yes they do and it's loud.

Q: Does this keyboard have a compatible headphone jack or plugins on it ?

A: The BlackWidow Ultimate 2016 does have a usb and audio pass through to plug in a combo jack headset or usb device.
