Good clicking sound for gaming. Not for typing or if you like it quite. If you are a gamer there are cheaper keyboards but you get what you pay for and this is a solid keyboard.

First impressions of the keyboard and it’s pretty good. Typing feels nice and is quiet compared to my Keychron so the dampening is doing wonders. Pricey but got it on sale for 123. USB-C, 2.4GHZ and Bluetooth which is great but Razer only offers mechanical switches however it would be better if they offer their optical switches.

I use this keyboard work college work but also on my ps5, first off the 3 connection types are not somthing commonly seen with many other keyboards as well as the 65% keyboard key factor i was looking for similar to a laptop. as their is no fail to how to connect it works with the PS5 via 2.4ghz dongle or wired . Next the build Quality is sturdy as the frame is made from metal and the keys are on fine and can also easily be taken off.

The ability to customise the Rgb lighting in the razer chroma app is great but also razer sells some keypads you can buy I hope to get the phantom key kaps.

They keys sound really nice and decently clicky which is always good and what you want from a keyboard.

Overall I am very happy with the product and its worth the amount on Amazon when on offer.

Its a good keyboard, but the green switches are basically just blue switches that require slightly more actuation force meaning for gaming they’re great, really responsive and you know exactly when a key has been registered. (can take a second to get use to tho)

for typing and programming the key layout is great for the UK Layout however the US layout is horrific (half size enter button and shifted parenthesis keys).

the chroma is quite a nice touch, doesn’t require much setup to get it to sync with the computer but it did cause quite a few issues on restart with synapse crashing out a lot (resolved itself quite quickly after a replug).

other than this the keyboard has been great. everything is up to scratch and the build quality is surprisingly good for razer; this doesn’t feel like a cheap keyboard at all.

as mentioned above the feedback through the switches is comparible to heavy blue switches, so entering the relm of buckle spring in terms of typing speed and user feedback; fast but slowed down on occasion because the actuation force is notable. (im typically use to MX browns ).

I can compare this keyboard with Corsair k57 Wireless. The battery of the k57 is far better lasting more than 2w for my use case (developer), and as stated in the manufacture manual, you can replace its battery by following instructions. I was not able to find such info for the Blackwidow, and on top of that, its battery last for around 3 days, before I need to charge again. However, blackwidow has mechanical keys, they are indeed good for typing (my first mechanical keyboard), and could be the cause for higher energy consumption. K57 does not have them. The point that made me, sticking with this model instead of k57′ was the Aurora RGB compatibility in wireless mode. Blackwidow works perfectly fine, with any RGB profile, without cables attached to it. In that way I can syncronize wired and wireless devices RGB to my will. K57 lacks this feature, when used in wireless mode. Finally, the wrist rest pad in Blackwidow cannot be attached to the keyboard like k57. I use this keyboard in my lap, and thus it is very hard to accomodate the resting pad + keyboard when typing.

This is a great gaming keyboard, with great customisation options (in terms of both lighting and modes, key mapping, etc.).
This is my first mechanical gaming keyboard, after switching from a very old hand-me-down Logitech G110! First impressions were of the good quality packaging, and it was very easy to set up, pretty much plug and play if you already have the Razer software installed, which I did as I already had a Razer mouse.
I like the feel and feedback of the tactile switches, but this does take some getting used to if it’s your first mechanical! The keys are quite noisy but you end up not noticing. Tactile is not so great for typing, such as in Word processors, etc. as I keep on managing to either miss or double hit letters, but again, this may just be that I need to get used to it, and this isn’t the primary functionality of the keyboard anyway as it’s aimed at gaming instead of typing.
From my gaming experience so far, it’s been like night and day from switching from the non-mechanical Logitech. The response is just so much better and even when you are using it wirelessly, it has very fast response times.
The ergonomic wrest is great quality and provides good support, the only downside is it remains separate from the keyboard (there’s no way to attach it to the keyboard), so this does slide on my particular desk, which is glass, however I will soon be getting a Razer Goliathus Extended Mat, which should [hopefully] solve this.
The battery life is okay, but it does drain quite quickly under heavy usage. The battery level indicator is on the side and very basic (in that it’s just a tiny LED that’s green when charged or red when low battery or charging), and it being on the side is a little annoying as it’s easy to not notice it. So I have had the keyboard die on me during gameplay (not great when you’re playing WarZone!), you do get a notification on Windows 10, via the Razer Synapse software, that it has low battery, but Windows notifications don’t show for me during gameplay, hence another reason it died. The battery takes ages to charge via USB connection to the PC, however, if you plug it in via USB into the mains, it charges a lot quicker in my experience.
I haven’t used it connected via Bluetooth, however I have used it via wired and wireless connection. Both wired and wireless, in my experience, have been faultless.
I love how customisable it is, and you can easily sync lighting effects across different Razer devices in the Synapse software, and across different PCs due to onboard memory. It’s very easy to adjust key mappings, etc. in Synapse too.
Overall, it’s a great keyboard, and I’m glad I took the plunge in upgrading!

Let me start with the good:
1. This keyboard feels amazing to type on. The Razer Green switches in my opinion are better than the Cherry MX in feel. Since using this my precision has gone up a lot when typing.
2. Software is pretty good. The customisability in Chroma is excellent with more options than you can count.
3. Gaming on this is noticeably different from using a membrane.
4. Hypershift lets you set your own macros without the extra macro keys.

Bad:
1. When you move the keyboard between PC’s it does not keep the RGB effect that you customised. This needs the Synapse software on both PCs to have the RGB customisation stay.
2. No USB or Audio passthrough
3. Keyboard height is slightly high for a TKL keyboard, but this can be mitigated with a good palmrest which i use anyways.

Note: The Razer logo at the bottom does not light up , it only does this on the ultimate edition. Found this out later as the Razer page shows that it lights up.
