Expensive, PBT keycaps would be a nice addition, KitGuru Says: The Razer BlackWidow Elite is one of the best gaming keyboards around, with very few shortcomings. Still, it faces strong competition at similar, or in some cases, slightly lower prices, Becom
The Razer BlackWidow Elite is an excellent keyboard all around and is a noticeable step up from the regular BlackWidow. Build quality is considerably improved and the new wrist rest adds a lot to the comfort factor.Razer's in-house switches still compete...

Razer have really hit the nail on the head this time around, compared to the previous iteration. So many companies release a new version of their keyboard only to actually introduce one or two small improvements, whereas Razer have properly re-designed th...

Feels very well-built and sturdy, Full RGB backlighting, All keys are macro-programmable, Available in three different types of switches, Short pre-travel distance

Solid construction with a nice weight to keep from slipping, Removeable handrest that doesn't wiggle free during the heat of battle, Razer Green Switches that have a nice tactile feel but won't exceed a comfortable dB, New media dial keeps the audio level
Hypershift/Caps Lock notifications still single white LED's that are impossible to read in the dark, USB passthrough isn't USB 3.0, Nearly double the price of a Corsair K68
The Razer Blackwidow Elite represents the upper echelon of quality gamers can expect from Razer. Updated Razer Green switches lead to greater precision and the new media dial means comfortable listening is only a touch away...
Gorgeous, functional design, Great in-game performance, Smart bells and whistles, Comfortable, no-frills wrist rest
Occasionally wonky software
The BlackWidow Elite may be the best keyboard Razer has ever produced. It's gorgeous, functional and priced competitively. Every bell and whistle serves a worthwhile function, without ever detracting from the device's core functionality. It's a perfect co...
