Price
Stiff cable

Price (For Some)
Preset lighting effects are more blingy than practical
Ports inconveniently located
Volume adjustment is a key combination
Stylized font on keys is hard to read. No backlight customization. Poor shielding for pass-thru ports. Smudge-prone finish
Breakin period can take awhile
Even with extended use
Expensive
As much as the standard “stealth” model for a very limited Mass Effect paint job
The Mass Effect 3 addons are a joke.
Razer's new keyswitches aren't very good for just typing
Indistinct
Blurry icons for Caps Lock
Scroll Lock
Etc
Matte finish smudges easily
Font for key designations is not my style
Included instructions are brief
Integrated USB port is only a USB 2.0
'Stealth' edition is still rather loud when typing
Only one backlight color offered
Expensive for some consumer budgets
I'd still rather have Cherry Blues
Stuck with Razer's standard black-and-green scheme
Can't adjust the color of the backlighting like in other Razer models. Glossy frame attracts smudges.
Convoluted macro recording
Backlighting and a few spare ports don't justify the $40 premium over the non-Ultimate BlackWidow
Nothing new or innovative
Razer switches could be better
Almost identical to previous model
Outdated software
Single Audio in/out
USB Passthrough is lowspeed
Slightly expensive
Doesn't bring much new to the Razer lineup
The standard edition of this keyboard can cause a huge ruckus. In fact
Because of its design
The keyboard can keep your neighbors awake through the night as you pound away on the keyboard. To be on the safe side you could opt for the Stealth edition
Th
Attracts fingerprints
Noisy
Doesn’t offer many more features than $50cheaper basic model.
Requires more space between the macro and right side keys
Scroll/Num/Caps Lock
Gamer Mode and Macro LED indicator looked ‘washed out'
