The editors didn't like
Pricey for feature set
Ho-hum macro editor
No dedicated media controls
Volume dial
Login required to activate config app
Lacks a media bar
Wrist rest can result in some uncomfortable typing angles
Lacks dedicated media keys
Wrist rest is great
But some may not want to use it (or have their own)
Expensive
Very little new since the previous model
Plastic build instead of another material
Bad placement of USB/aux passthrough
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
Comfortable keys, New Yellow switches work well, Pretty lighting, Intuitive software
Expensive, Very little new since the previous model

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...
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...
