   I’ve had this keyboard for three years use it daily for all purposes from editing to gaming to browsing the web. Absolutely wonderful! Hasn’t broken since and I’ve actually raged on a few games and slammed my hand on it. Lol

   RGB backlit is amazing!! The layout isn’t very good for gaming and general use, especially the F1-F4 keys. And I would much rather prefer K70.

   To open, let me just say;I have been pining after a keyboard experience like this forever! I have been a long time user of Razer products, going back to the old Diamondback. Nowadays, on a proffesional team for Overwatch, I’m always looking for the best gear I can get my hands on. After researching for weeks, I went for this behemoth, and I couldn’t be happier! The entire build quality of the thing feels nice and solid. It’s a very heavy and sturdy keyboard, with a super thick braided cable! It also features a super useful USB passthrough, which I use to charge my phone, and a microphone and headphone passthrough. Moving on to the actual keys; they’re an absolute dream. They feel so much smoother than Cherry switched, yet still perfectly clicky and mechanical. They have a perfect amount of feedback, and you can feel the instant actuation. Now, let me talk about the pièce de résistance of this keyboard for me; the Chroma lighting! As I mentioned above, I have used Razer for a super long time, but have never been a fan of the neon green! I love the idea of gaming in color, and Razer’s new Chroma products do such an amazing job of doing that. With true RGB lighting and a super intuitive customization software, Razer’s chroma devices are simply unparalleled in terms of RGB gaming! And don’t even get me started it’s dynamic game integration! Certain games change the colors of the keyboard dynamically, such as Overwatch, where they react with actions in the game! It’s incredible! In conclusion, what an incredible keyboard, simple as that! Just jump in, you simply can’t go wrong with Razer keyboards.

   This rocks! Had a little issue figuring out how to change individual key colors but got that down now… Love the feel of the keys….little tighter than used to but I am typing better LOL Like the heavy feel of the keyboard

   Razer… Great gaming keyboard. Nice snappy keys, the lighting is awesome and easy to setup. I also have Razer Naga Epic mouse and software handles them both in Synapse seamlessly. I have spectrum cycle set on keyboard and mouse, but when I game I have only the keys I use lit and keys with different functions lit as a different color. You just paint each individual key and select color if you want them different. Works great! I have always used Logitech keyboards and the keys do seem closer together on this one, but once used to it I would not go back. Also, nice heavy keyboard or maybe substantial is more accurate. I have this on my RipperXL desktop pad and it does not move a bit when gaming. I did buy the extended warranty with the product just to make sure there are no issues with the lighting.

   

7. Brandejo Verified Buyer – 20 September 2024

   I really want to give this keyboard 3.5 stars because I really enjoy having it. I work on a computer all day so I’m not that eager to get back on a PC once I’m off so I really only use it on the weekends. Got it for myself as a birthday gift but today after about one month of light use, 7 keys LEDs aren’t working properly. The “F8 9 0 O L and ,” keys are unable to light up any green and the “P” key can’t light up red. I use the spectrum cycling at night and noticed they weren’t cycling correctly. Checked the software to see if maybe they were programmed different. Nope. By setting the one key to static red and the other 6 to static green, I found none of them lit up at all. I’m really disappointed because I love the pass through USB and headphone jacks as well as the bright colors on it. I’ll be returning it and probably getting a Corsair k95. Maybe it was just a lemon, but if this happened in just one month it’s probably not a bad idea to check out something different…at least in my case.

   Razer’s Blackwidow Chroma keyboard is serious bit of kit, made to take abuse of serious gamers and key-pushers. Solidly built with a nice heavy weight to it, the Blackwidow feels like the premium product Razer intended it to be. The mechanical switches are very satisfying to use, resulting in a pleasing feel that makes typing a joy. When gaming, this feel contributes to a nice sensation that confirms that each individual key press is activated exactly as intended. Having used Cherry MX Blue switches on OEM Cherry keyboards extensively in my professional career, I can report that Razer’s “Green” switches do have a shallower activation point as well as a lighter action overall. They’re not as loud as Cherry MX Blues, either. Having said this, if your a fan of MX Blues, the Razer switches are different enough that you should definitely try before you buy. The Blackwidow is wonderfully straightforward in terms of key layout and functions. There are only 5 multi-function keys (fully-programmable using Razer’s Synapse software) and a full-sized number pad. The media control functions must be activated by pressing and holding down the FN key. This is different than many keyboards where the media controls are either direct access, or usable sans the FN key. My former keyboard, Microsoft’s excellent Sidewinder X6, had analog-style knobs to control volume as well as keyboard lighting. For me, this remains the most elegant solution… This being a Chroma version of the Blackwidow, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the RGB lighting effects. Bright, vivid and dramatic, they really make this keyboard stand out from the rest of the premium/gaming category. Both Razer and Corsair have the most powerful RGB features on the market, with both companies lighting each and every individual key. But what sets Razer apart is that they use a white membrane to “back” the keyboard switches, making the lighting effects much more powerful and giving the colors added “pop”. The Synapse software may not be as customizable (currently) as Corsair’s, but it far easier to use in both customizing the lighting effects, and more importantly, customizing the key functions as well as setting up user and gaming profiles. So, there you have it. The Razer Blackwidow Chroma is an excellent choice as a premium keyboard that can satisfy the PC gaming/enthusiast crowd. The construction and parts used are first-rate and the Chroma RGB lighting is best-in-class, IMHO. If you’re looking for a keyboard to compliment that high-end, custom PC rig you’ve built (and want performance to match it’s looks), you should have the Blackwidow Chroma at the top of a very short list…

   Great mechanical keyboard with super fun and flashy perks! Took me a couple minutes to figure out the software to get it to glow the way I wanted. If you are not computer minded it might be hard to understand. Also the keyboard is a little expensive but I got it when it was on an awesome sale! It also has a matching mouse and keyboard which is amazing if you are going all out!

    I love this keyboard, it’s my first mechanical keyboard and I’m loving it, the backlight keys are really good looking, you can adjust everything, the usb port on the side is amazing and very useful. Everybody says that mechanical keyboards makes to much noise but I’m fine with that, I mean, it’s a little bit louder than normal keyboards but the mechanical switches are 10000 times better, and I really like the sound of the keys.

    

11. Dre Verified Buyer – 20 November 2024

    Amazing keyboard, crazy how over 460+ actual people thought a guy spilling coffee on another keyboard, then having a “key” issue which is a typical spill issue, which can only affect a single key or many (I’m on my third blackwidow keyboard) has any validity to say that customer service is to blame… So you waited a month to re contact them… Then didn’t call them the day they said they would call you? They were probably trying to stop laughing about how the substance they found ‘splurged’ all under the underside of that N key that stopped working along with the U, P, O R, we’re all sticking! Just crazy that so many people found this review helpful, like saying that I had a razor naga mouse, that I loved but would also love to hurl it at a wall, then my new mouse from Company X didn’t work so well with key click issues after a week, and then I didn’t check back with go-keyboard.com or the company X, or the postal service I sent the package back with…. Just perturbed because this product is absolutely amazing, the clicks, response time, look, feel, sound, colors, fully customizable is off the coffee coated chain!!! Am on my second chroma, cause the first didn’t like stoli screwdrivers, and the precious blackwidow ultimate didn’t like beer… Surprisingly enough, this is an Electric device!!!! I cleaned them out, soaked in rice, got the few keys to work again but you have to do a long process and then grease the keys, blow out excess liquid/gunk, then hope the keys work. Long story short, this time… Also bought the ‘I might spill crap, please cover me’ insurance… They have a reputable record of replacing the item once… So don’t b&@$& if your 2 year insurance policy that costs around $35 only gets you another FREE keyboard… Keyboard is amazing, just perfect!

    Great keyboard for those that love clicky mechanical keyboards with tactile feedback. The brightness and vivid of the colors are currently the best on the market easily thanks to the white back plate and a true 16.8M color spectrum unlike the Corsair K70’s 512 color mode. So far the keys are all perfect and consistent, the Razer Green switches are basically slightly modified MX Blues with a higher actuation point which in theory makes it better for gaming while still being great for typing. Also comes with a very thick braided cable and a USB/Microphone/Headphone pass though. The only con I can say is the matte paint can attract oil and fingerprints pretty easily but other than that, it’s a great product.

    

13. Robert Verified Buyer – 1 January 2025

    I was super happy to spend nearly $200 for a keyboard from a company that I loved, and had focused my entire build around. I love the mechanical switches that are just “clicky” enough, and the rbg is great. The problems started after only ONE week when my control key quit working. I didn’t worry, i barely used it as i rarely used my pc as a business rig or even as a “serious” gaming PC. After that first week, the bug spread to my left shift, then to my Z, and now has spread to my left windows key as well as my left ALT and my X. Though the problem does seem to have stopped spreading, i voided my warranty and took the keyboard apart to ensure that the fault wasn’t a spill/moisture problem. There was absolutely no corroded corridors, nor residues underneath the board. TL;DR – this board started breaking down within 1 week of buying it. It has the potential to be incredible, but it fell apart for me.

    

14. Benjamin Verified Buyer – 13 January 2025

    They keyboard is nice but I feel like calling it “stealth” is quite the overstatement as these keys are so loud I feel embarrassed to mention the fact that stealth is in the name of the product. When I set up the lighting originally everything was great and I love that I can customize everything to such extreme detail but my ‘I’ key has been getting more and more yellow every hour my keyboard is plugged in despite Synapse telling me its set to static white. There is nothing bad about the keyboard at all and it’s improved my CS:GO game instantly but I feel like for the steep price I should be able to expect more quality out of my product. I’ve heard a lot of criticism about Razer’s keyboards and I was hoping that maybe I would get lucky and have as great an experience as I’ve had with my Deathadder Chroma but so far this keyboard is going downhill in terms of what I expected and initially received to what I’m using to type currently. Pros: – Intense customization that lets you have everything exactly the way you’d like it. – Very bright keys that stand out during the day and can be dimmed at night with two key presses. – No ghosting at all compared to my previous keyboard that could only handle about 4 keys before dropping keys. Cons: – (My) LED changes color despite my settings (The ‘i’ key I mentioned above). – Special characters such as *.&,<,# aren’t lit. Instead they are printed onto the caps. – Plastic of wrist rest sucks up skin’s oils and doesn’t wipe off easily. Overall I would recommend the keyboard to anyone who has fallen for the Chroma craze but doesn’t mind the headache of managing all the issues. Edit: Changing up to a 4-star because I realize now that this was not the Stealth edition of this keyboard, however my other issues stand.

    

15. Jsebasbon Verified Buyer – 28 January 2025

    It’s been a year now, so this is my verdict. The keyboard itself is a nice piece of hardware, it feels really good, BUT the software is total garbage!! And the keyboard and its customizations works via software, which means that if the software doesn’t work you’re basically screwed. I’m a Mac user, and there are constantly issues with Razer Synapse (the required software used by the keyboard). Sometimes it doesn’t load my profile so my keys end up unmapped; sometimes it seems to forget some mapped keys; sometimes the software itself won’t open! My recommendation? If you’re a Mac user then beware, either wait for a more solid update to their software or go with a different brand.

    

16. jeremy sizemore Verified Buyer – 18 February 2025

    I really like this keyboard and the back lighting is fantastic but coming from a Corsair K70 I’ve been spoiled. I miss the scroll wheel for volume control and the keys on the K70 are better imo. I also wish the blackwidow came with the the angled key covers for gaming like the k70. Also the caps and nums lock indicator lights are really hard to see as well. All in all I’m not disappointed with this keyboard at all and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality rgb keyboard

    

17. Queen B Verified Buyer – 1 March 2025

    Ok so I waited forever to get this for my son and he loves it! Problem is the dash keys are an entirely different color. When the keyboard is set to static green for example, the 2 dash keys are red, if they’re on at all. Sometimes they’re just black with no light. The lights look vibrant and it has a TON of options for the lights. Looks great if it worked. *Filed a return with go-keyboard.com and they’re sending out another one pronto. No shipping costs at all. And the best part is my son gets to keep this broken one at least until the new one arrives.* *Update 9/30/15 I AM SO FRUSTRATED! I have now 2 of these keyboards that don’t work properly. Our first keyboard as I mentioned in my earlier review had a different color dash key. Now we’ve received our new keyboard and it has the same EXACT problem except it’s the comma key that is a different color. I spent this much money for a bum keyboard! I purchased the Razer chroma mouse, the Razer Firefly mouse pad and this worthless keyboard all at the same time, I am REALLY CONSIDERING returning it all for a refund. I’ve included the pix of both of the broken keyboards.

    

18. mayo Verified Buyer – 13 March 2025

    This was not the Bleach Widow Chroma, just the black widow. It’s missing the macro keys depicted in the advertisement (the main reason I wanted it) as well as the usb port on the side. I bought the keyboard on the picture and got a different one. Pictures attached.

    

19. Kyejong lee Verified Buyer – 14 March 2025

    Packing broken, product came defective, all dirty with hair and dirt in it, broken, in one words, it was garbage that they sent me. And the seller didn’t even answer for the product claim that I’ve made.

    

20. Ad@m Verified Buyer – 2 April 2025

    UPDATE 10/15 – After a couple days of use, the keyboard works great… However, I noticed a scratch at the top of my keyboard. I am always surgical upon unboxing, so I know it was not from me. I was ready to deal with the aesthetic flaw, despite how much I paid. After further inspection, I realized that the scratch was actually a CRACK in the plastic. Wow. I want this keyboard to work out so well, yet I keep receiving keyboards that should be failing Razer’s quality control standards. How can one keyboard have a defective key, and another keyboard have a crack in the frame? Needless to say, I am now returning this keyboard as well and I plan on buying a different brand. I loved being able to sync my Blackwidow with my mouse, but I am done taking a risk with Razer’s “premium” keyboard. ____ UPDATE 10/12 – Received my replacement keyboard. TAB key works flawlessly on this one; doesn’t miss a command. I must have received a defective keyboard. Props to go-keyboard.com for handling this exchange top-notch, per usual. So far I’m really enjoying the receptiveness of this keyboard. I only hope that Razer takes care of the lemons in order to restore some of the faith I have lost in their products. ____ INITIAL REVIEW 10/10 – My previous keyboard was a Logitech G710+. I have a Razer Chroma mouse so I thought I’d give this keyboard a try. Love the keys… Except upon receiving the keyboard I realized the tab button only worked intermittently. I restarted comp, reinstalled drivers, unplugged/replugged USB, and the problem still persisted. Maybe I received a rare, defective keyboard. I ordered a replacement – I will update this review after I receive the new one.

    

21. Cameron F. Verified Buyer – 2 April 2025

    This keyboard is awesome but there is one problem for some reason when I turn my computer off and then back on its say the last USB connected has malfunctioned and it is annoying and help to fix this?

    

22. Livia Verified Buyer – 7 April 2025

    I bought this on the US, and I moved back to Brazil, and now I can’t return this. My “0 ins” key on the numberpad can’t light up the color blue. That means that if I use the Spectrum Cycling, the 0 is always showing a different color than it is supposed to, because it doesn’t have the blue to mix on the RGB spectrum. My OCD drives me nuts with this and I end up not using the chroma feature. In conclusion, I paid double the price for a feature that I don’t use.

    

23. Dianne Verified Buyer – 8 April 2025

    This keyboard is pretty awesome! I bought it because I personally love the way it sounds whenever I am typing or playing a game. I also love that I have the option to customize my keys to any color I want to for anything!
