BlackWidow Elite Wired Gaming Mechanical Razer Green Switch Keyboard with RGB Back Lighting - Black

So far a couple weeks in and this has been an amazing keyboard. Take away the great functionality of the razer RGB just from a usability standpoint it’s solid and feels way more responsive then any previous keyboard I’ve owned!

Absolutely love this Razor keyboard. From its fully rgb keys and chroma software. To its cheery green mechanical switches. I love the clickyness of the key strokes, compared to my old corsair rgb keyboard this is a well made, and I must say heavy keyboard. I believe the weight foe the Razor is 12 lbs. I was shocked at the weight of it, in my head meaning, better construction and components. The padded magnetic wrist rest, is a very nice touch. I like that it connects magnetically, vs snapping connectors. I dont think theres one part of this keyboard that Razor overlooked. 5 stars from me...

High quality gaming keyboard. Very pleased would recommend.

I've had my unit for a few weeks now. I have owned several keyboards including predominantly ergonomic keyboards. Here is what I have to say about the unit: Summary: This is a svelt device with a host of nifty features. It's purpose is to be a highly functional keyboard and this unit excels at that. Pros: The keyboard and its keys play front and center for this unit. They keys feel good and sound appropriately click-y. The travel for keys is just right and I was able to adapt quickly to this keyboard (former keyboard is a Surface Ergonomic). - Compact layout with full set of keys (numeric pad). - Svelte black color. - Like many keyboards, this unit features audio controls in the form of buttons and a radial dial. - Programmable profiles. - Back lit keys makes dark room typing a lot easier with minimal task lighting. - Programmable key lighting schemes. - Magnetic comfortable removable palm rest. - USB and microphone port for use as small hub. - Thick braided cord for durability. Cons: I can't think of any specific cons I would complain about. I could ask for a few more USB ports along the back. I also would LOVE them to release an ergonomic version of this keyboard. Use: This guy gets regular use as a primary keyboard to a work machine that also doubles as a gaming machine (Elder Scrolls, Destiny 2, World of Warcraft). I love it and would most definitely recommend this unit.

Its is a great keyboard for gaming, typing and more. It does take some getting use to. If you have never used a green switch keyboard you may miss a few buttons when typing fast. On the other hand for gaming pretty much 0 problems from my experience.

I’m a gamer. In fact, I LOVE gaming. As any gamer knows, you need serious gaming equipment for those sessions that start off as a 'quick match' and become three-hour adventures. The Razer Blackwidow Elite keyboard is for that serious gamer. Right out of the box, I appreciated the sharp design of this gaming keyboard. Upon plugging in the keyboard, I was greeted with a memorizing display of colors. This keyboard SCREAMS awesome with its aesthetic design. But let me praise the functionality of this gaming keyboard. The mechanical keys are insanely responsive which is important when it comes to response. Playing Fortnite can require split-second reactions whether you’re tossing heals or building to gain the high ground or shield against opponents. In fact, I would have to admit that I feel as if I have an advantage compared to my previous keyboard. I’ve also played Battlefield V with this keyboard and the interaction seems to ‘POP’ when I am tossing ammo for my squad mates/team. The Blackwidow Elite allows for great customization for gamers that sometimes just have to make ‘compromises’ when using other keyboards. This Blackwidow allows every key to be reassigned to what you desire depending on the type of game(s) that you’re engaging with. Customizing the keyboard is done through the Synapse desktop download. The binding customization options have me feeling excited to play Warcraft III: Reforged in 2019. This keyboard also works well with any kind of computer. I’ve used it on my 27” PC and I’ve also used it on my 2 in 1 laptop which was pretty cool because it allows me to put my laptop into tent form, therefore allowing me to rest the keyboard closer the screen. Another nice feature that might go unnoticed by some is the side USB and audio pass. This is nice for me because it allows the cable from my gaming headset to be more relaxed and closer to me and not occupying a port on my computer. Comfort is another pleasantry that gamers relish during sessions. The palm pad is magnetic and secures itself to the keyboard. So far, my palms/wrists are not throbbing compared to using my previous keyboard. With some gaming keyboards, there is an issue of trying to weave that keyboard in regular, everyday activities. The Blackwidow doesn’t feel clumsy when I need to write an email or even create this written review. Again, the palm pad rewards this use with comfort. Whether you are a gaming veteran or just starting out with PC gaming; the Razer Blackwidow Elite keyboard will provide a lifetime of comfortable and precise performance.

Son loves his gaming keyboard for his new kid cave

In a nutshell, this keyboard is everything I wanted. However, it may not be exactly what you want. I was looking at the Huntsman Elite for the dedicated media keys but I really wanted Razer Green switches which meant I was going to end up buying the Blackwidow V2. Sure enough, I found out about this keyboard, which is basically a cheaper version of the Huntsman Elite but with Razer Green switches. I thought it was too good to be true. I've had it for only a day now but let me tell you, it truly is an amazing keyboard. If you have used a Razer product before then you know how impressive their chroma lighting is. There is a USB pass through and audio pass through on the left hand side of the keyboard. The switches are clicky and tactile but they are a new and improved Green switch, with walls on the sides of the switch in order to reduce key wobble. It is made of military grade brushed metal which is virtually fingerprint proof. The included wrist rest is the best I've ever used. The audio dial is a wonderful addition and it can also be customized in the Synapse 3 software to nearly turn it into a multimedia macro dial. I don't know what else to say. Everything about this board is spot on, no hiccups on my end. If I had to choose some cons - it would be that the keyboard can feel cold at times but that's just because of the metal body. There are no macro keys besides for the dial, if you're into that sort of thing. I'm sitting here trying to think of anything else I don't like about it and I'm stumped. Get this board! You won't be disappointed.
