Well, the tide, as they say, has turned. We're seriously thinking about taking our loved, key-worn and remarkably trustworthy Microsoft X6 keyboard and replacing it with a new, shiny, and oh so responsive Black Widow.

Bought this for my wife. Shes a touch typist and has fallen in love with it. Really nice feel and really responsive. No zone color differentiations and its annoying that I need to have software installed to change anything.

It's a mechanical keyboard with green backlighting. Very much a personal opinion, but this keyboard has Cherry MX Blue switches, which are the loudest possible switch for a mechanical keyboard. I type over 80 WPM, possibly upwards of 100 on a mechanical board.

Even by Razer's own standards, the BlackWidow Ultimate misses several tricks. There's no choice of backlight colour, unlike the Anansi. Plus, while the Cherry keys have a clean action, the coating feels uncomfortable, and the clunk-click of the keys is very loud.

The BlackWidow is a splendid spiritual successor to the many other keyboards I've owned throughout the years. Out of over a dozen that I've had the pleasure of using since the young age of 8, this mechanical jewel easily holds the most respect within my heart.

The Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2013 gaming keyboard is absoloutly fantastic. The on the fly programable macro keys come in clutch for many different games. The overall construction of the keyboard is really well built and durable.

Mechanical keyboards are good for more than just typing, and Razer has proven that with the Black Widow Ultimate. This keyboard offers plenty of features and lots of customizability.

Powerful customization and a solid feature set make this keyboard attractive

This keyboard sure is awesome. The lighting is great, the mechanical keys just work. It sure is the LOUDEST KEYBOARD EVER! If you're a fast typer, be sure to pick up a helmet, because you'll have things being thrown at you from across the room for it being so loud.

Razer says that it's new Ultimate BlackWidow Keyboard can sustain 60,000,000 keystrokes over the course of its lifetime. Its the kind of statement you can't actually prove. Type at 375 keystrokes a minute and it'd take 2,667 hours of constant typing to break this thing - by that point, you most...
