Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Review – We've heard back about Razer's new mechanical keyboard, the Razer BlackWidow and the Ultimate edition back then in August 2010 (Gamescom 2010) .

Quite compact in size; Backlighting; Macro keys; Mechanical; CherryMX Blue switches; An extra USB slot; Accessible media jacks for headphones; Good tactile feedback for RTS gamers; Sexy; Sturdy

No palm rest; Noisy

The hardware is all as it should be, but a few cosmetic design flaws put this keyboard with potential down on the typing and gaming food chain.

: Programmable keys; on-the-fly macro recording; USB and audio/mic jacks; multi-level backlighting : Slightly confusing typeface on keys; backlighting doesn't apply to Shift+ keys; no light customising to go with macros

Only had it a couple of weeks, but my initial reaction is 'wow' it looks amazing sitting on my desk, it's a piece of modern design as much as it is a very functional keyboard.

It appears effectively created. It's not nicely made.This keyboard lasted 5 whole hours ahead of revealing its true nature.Immediately after 5 hours of game play, the ŕ" key (which I use to respawn in-game) began to stick in the "pressed down" position.

Mechanical keyboards are also incredibly durable, and will outlast any membrane based keyboard by a long margin; the switches are just that much more durable. This durability and tactile feedback comes at a price though, it is loud.

This keyboard is just top notch, it has everything a gamer could want out of it, backlit keys, mechanical buttons and on the fly macro writing/saving as well as a usb port extender on the side of the keyboard.

Awesome keyboard. The clicking is really not that hard. Types really well. Double tapping spacebar t..
