The new Razer BlackWidow Chroma V2 mechanical gaming keyboard line gets new switch option, magnetic wrist rest, and cosmetic updates. Originally launched in 2010, Razer BlackWidow mechanical keyboards quickly became a popular gaming keyboard and choice of professional gamers everywhere. Razer began manufacturing its own mechanical switches in 2014 – the Razer Green and Razer Orange switch – that set benchmarks in the industry for gaming-optimized actuation and reset responsiveness and superior durability.
The Razer BlackWidow Chroma V2 offers the best tactile switches with Razer’s own Green and Orange variants, and adds an alternative – the Razer Yellow switch. Its linear and silent design and reduced travel distance allows keys to be pressed faster than ever before. The new switch’s feel and properties are meant for FPS and MOBA players who press certain keys thousands of times over the course of a match session. The Razer Yellow switch is also rated to 80 million keystrokes ensuring durability and longevity. The Razer BlackWidow Chroma V2 now includes a magnetic wrist rest which optionally attaches to the bottom of keyboard and helps keep gamers comfortable during marathon gaming sessions.
Razer BlackWidow Chroma V2 keyboards feature individually backlit keys that are powered by Razer Chroma™ technology, which unlocks customizable lighting features that can be synced across devices. Gamers can choose from 16.8 million colors and a variety of effects. Custom settings can be created using the Razer Synapse software platform and shared with millions of other Razer software users via the Razer Chroma Workshop. In-game Razer Chroma lighting profiles are also integrated into popular game titles, including “Overwatch,” “Call of Duty®: Black Ops III,” “Blade and Soul” and more. These profiles can display tutorials, in-game actions and more.
