Abstract: I've been a fan of Razer ever since I bought my first Razer Blade laptop nearly 4 years ago. And, I've always been a fan of mechanical keyboards with their tell-tale “clickety-klack” sounds and tactile responsiveness. So I was naturally very hopeful that...
Comfortable keys, New Yellow switches work well, Pretty lighting, Intuitive software
Expensive, Very little new since the previous model
At the risk of being glib, if you want a thorough evaluation of the BlackWidow Chroma V2, go back and read our review of the first one, then tell yourself, “It now comes with a wrist rest.” It’s a comfortable keyboard with pretty good mechanical switches...

Comfortable wrist rest - magnetically attached, Chroma backlighting, 16.8-million colors, community development, 10 key roll-over anti-ghosting, USB pass-through, audio-out/mic-in jacks, 3 different top-notch mechanical switch options
Chroma backlighting not necessary for everyone, No media buttons, No USB-C for peripherals

The Razer BlackWidow Chroma V2 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is definitely more than a pretty keyboard! The On The Fly Macro Recording, the combination of Razer Green, Orange, and Yellow switches were quite effective and the tactile response and clicky noise...

Lacks a media bar, Wrist rest can result in some uncomfortable typing angles
The Razer BlackWidow Chroma V2 is a high-end gaming keyboard that boasts plenty of color and function customization options, and keys that feel good for both work and play...
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: It's the question that every PC nerd has asked themselves as they've been poring over online store listings: should I buy a mechanical keyboard with clicky tactile switches, or one with silent and linear keys? I compared two otherwise identical keyboards...
