Razer has upgraded its keyboard lineup with the release of the brand new Razer BlackWidow Chroma V2 mechanical gaming keyboard, featuring a new switch option, magnetic wrist rest, and cosmetic updates.
The Razer BlackWidow V2 offers the best tactile switches with the 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 previous model. 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, like the Green and Orange switches, is rated to 80 million keystrokes, which is the highest mark amongst current generation mechanical switches and one that is meant to last years longer than any other mechanical switch, claims Razer. The Razer BlackWidow V2 is durable and comfortable to use. It includes a magnetic wrist rest optionally attaches to the bottom of BlackWidow V2 keyboard and helps keep gamers comfortable during marathon gaming sessions.
Razer BlackWidow Chroma V2 keyboard features 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.
Despite the new upgrades, the pricing of the Razer BlackWidow Chroma V2 is unchanged. Select models of the Razer BlackWidow Chroma V2 gaming keyboard are available for shipping for $169.99 and €199.99 from Razer at Razerzone.com
