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...

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...
