You're really going to need to weigh those features against a hefty price tag
The BlackWidow Chroma V2 is pretty much everything you want out of your gaming keyboard. But there are most cost effective options if you're not ensconced in the Razer ecosystem...
Magnetic wrist rest is a huge step up over most competitors, Razer's lighting is still top-notch, New Razer Yellow switch is an excellent Cherry MX Speed imitation
Lacks dedicated media keys, Wrist rest is great, but some may not want to use it (or have their own), Expensive
It's a good keyboard. Stellar lighting, supple wrist rest, and Razer's new Yellow switches make this probably the best Cherry MX clone I've ever used. The BlackWidow Chroma V2 is a solid choice.But it does feel somewhat like Razer's falling behind the com...
Abstract: First off, the keyboard is pretty big compared to the Razer Ornata but this is to be expected for a full sized keyboard. The keys, however, are quite close together when compared to something like the Logitech G910 or the SteelSeries M500, making it seem...
Full sized keys with a complete Numpad and 5 macro keys – ready to be programmed on-the-fly, Softer mechanical keys that have lesser travel and lower actuation force. This is great for those who game a lot but not so sure about those who code and type, Th
Razer has below average quality check policies and this can result in a faulty piece the first time if you are really unlucky. Thankfully, Razer replaces any defunct piece immediately though you still have to wait for a few days, The Synapse does not prov
Gamers need no introduction to Razer's BlackWidow Chrome V2 because it is one of the most sought after gaming keyboard and naturally has several proponents advertising and vouching for it. The V2 according to us is a flashy looking keyboard with gaming at...

The Blackwidow Chroma V2 is a fine gaming keyboard, packed with the essential and non-essential features gamers look for in a means to feel superior to people exclusively using gamepads. The question is which switch to pick for your purposes.Advertisement...

Having spent significant time with all three keyboards over the last few weeks, it's hard to decide which one is best. Each has its strengths and weaknesses, and at times the race is incredibly tight.Unfortunately, the weakest keyboard in this three way b...

With the BlackWidow Chroma V2 keyboard, Razer is incorporating its own technologies inside the mechanical switches, which are RGB enabled and have the advantage of the Chroma LED lighting system. The Chroma Configurator section is very easy to use compare...

Great, satisfying build quality, Orange Keyswitches are wonderfully quiet but satisfying, Hypnotic and customisable RGB settings, A wrist rest
Plastic build instead of another material, Bad placement of USB/aux passthrough
Without a doubt, there are cheaper RGB keyboards out there. There are also more expensive ones – but if you want guaranteed quality, then it's hard to go wrong with the Razer Blackwidow Chroma V2. It has everything you want from a mechanical RGB keyboard...
Pricey for feature set, Ho-hum macro editor, No dedicated media controls, volume dial, Login required to activate config app
This sturdy, handsome keyboard packs responsive Razer mechanical switches and attractive lighting. We'd just like to see some tweaks to the software, and a price drop. Read More...
