Loved it until I hated it. Double and triple key strokes after only a couple of months. Working on the RMA so might be able to update after. Forums are filled with the same problems. No firmware updates available.

I tried some other keyboards but this one definitely is the best in sound and feel. Similar price range/style I say get this one.

Has worked well for me, and functioned as expected. Used an original Black Widow Ultimate for 10+ years before this purchase.

It’s a great keyboard but after a while the keys start to stick so I’ve had to return it a couple times.

Quality Control

Overall, this item had no real issues up front. The feel was premium and there were no signs of defect. In fact, the quality of the keyboard felt 95% custom, with the exception of a hollow space bar. However, 1 week in it developed a double key issue that was persistent across all keys intermittently. Made the 200 dollar board unusable, and for that I returned it. Premium feel, but not premium function.

Finally a great keyboard from Razer. I love the sound right out of the box!

Low quality experience, hardly useable

Looks pretty, sounds pretty, but is not worth the price. Hardly usable. Keys started double typing after a month or so. After hours of research, I found that others were claiming that the orange switches that come in the keyboard are low quality. I loved the look and sound, and I fought hard to keep keyboard working. I bought quality replacement switches and the problem persists. Now not just one, but several keys, including the space bar and enter key, double type. It is so frustrating replacing those switches several times for the problem to persist, and I’m real tired of spamming my delete key to fix typos that weren’t my fault. I will most likely not buy another Razor keyboard again.

Excellent nice and clicky but not to loud. The RGB Lights are easy to customize and super fun.

Double stroking issue on this keyboard.

This keyboard felt nice out of the box. The compact format was great, but the audio wheel would over spin constantly, my E, S, K, C and A keys would always double stroke. Typing experience was great besides how painful that double stroking was. Many people on reddit have the same complaint and have gotten exchanges from Razer that are also broken the same way.

I've been trying out some new styles of keyboard lately and the only downside I can find to this one is the lack of a numpad but if you're going for a small form factor that's well made and feels good to type on, this one does a lot of things right.
Setup is a breeze as it usually is with keyboards. Plug it in and it's ready to go. If you install the Razer Synapse software, you can tweak things like key binds and lighting. Razer Synapse is not my favorite peripheral software out there but it works well enough. The lighting is easy enough to figure out so you can customize each key exactly the way you like it. The coolest lighting feature is the ambient spread lighting that can spread the light and colors from your monitor across multiple devices. I also have a Razer mouse so I was able to specify a zone where my mouse sits under my monitor and then specify another zone where my keyboard was sitting and the colors from my monitor could spread onto my mouse and keyboard. Very cool and doesn't appear to exist on Corsair's software.
The construction of this keyboard is really nice. It's got a nice heavy feel. The detachable cable is really nice and doesn't appear to be included in many other keyboards. The magnetic wrist rest is also built well and feels nice to type with. Just overall, the keyboard is built really well.
The switches are going to be subjective, of course. I'm coming from using a lot of linear switches (my main keyboard has been linear "speed" silver switches that have almost no travel before activation). I did not hate the tactile orange switches. I thought it would take some getting used to but not at all. They felt very natural and sounded good. No notes.
The only downside here, for me, is that this is a 75% keyboard. It's not hiding that fact so I obviously won't hold it against it. It's a really nice keyboard and will be in use for a future PC build for my wife or daughters (it does have the "cute" factor, being white and small). For the time being, I'm using it as my old MacBook Pro's dedicated keyboard when it's docked to my desk. I just can't use a keyboard without a numpad as my daily driver right now otherwise this keyboard would be it.
Bottom line, this is a really nice keyboard. I'm a pretty strong Corsair loyalist but I can recognize when something is built nice and works well. If you're looking for a small, attractive keyboard and like the feel of orange switches, this could be the one for you.
