Razer BlackWidow (2019) Review

 

The 2019 edition of Razer's BlackWidow gaming keyboard is a smart compromise for budget-conscious players, offering top-of-the-line fundamentals at the expense of some quality-of-life features we've come to expect in high-end devices.

Razer BlackWidow Tournament Edition

 

The Razer BlackWidow Tournament Edition mechanical keyboard is touted as being travel friendly, but the compact build only limits the functionality.

Quality construction with Cherry MX Blue mechanical switches. 10-key anti-ghosting. Detachable USB cable. Includes travel case.

Compact design removes numeric pad.

Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2013 Elite

 

Mechanical switches provide audio and tactile feedback. Backlit.

Stylized font on keys is hard to read. No backlight customization. Poor shielding for pass-thru ports. Smudge-prone finish.

The Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2013 Elite is a solid mechanical gaming keyboard, but it has its flaws, like a smudge prone-finish and poorly shielded connections.

Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Mechanical Gaming Keyboard review: Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

 

Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

Cherry MX Blue mechanical-key switches offer one of the most satisfying typing experiences available; backlighting helps you game in the dark; on-the-fly macro recording; intuitive driver software.

Backlighting and a few spare ports don't justify the $40 premium over the non-Ultimate BlackWidow.

At $125, the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate is a competitively priced mechanical gaming keyboard in its range. We just wish Razer had done more to set this "Ultimate" edition apart from Razer's more affordable standard BlackWidow.

Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Review

 

Several months ago, we had a quick look at the BlackWidow Ultimate from Razer, a company very well known for their focus on gaming-related products. A few weeks ago, Razer announced that they have developed their own all-new mechanical switches,...

In terms of design, there is little to say about the BlackWidow Ultimate, as the keyboard has essentially been around for years already. Razer refined it over time, adding one little upgrade after the other, the latest being their own Green switches....

Razer BlackWidow Lite: Lab Tested - RTINGS.com
