Execute winning commands with the Razer BlackWidow Chroma gaming keyboard. Its mechanical switches provide reliable sensitivity and durability during intense gaming conditions, and it has an average lifespan equivalent to 80 million keystrokes. Customize the backlighting of the Razer BlackWidow Chroma gaming keyboard for cool effects or help with strategic keying.

Software Crashes on login.
on March 14, 2017
Posted by: davidbdeath
The USB pass thru and audio pass thru is in a place that gets in the way with using your mouse. The back or the other side would be way better places. I bought and returned this keyboard, the software crashes on login if the keyboard is plugged in. I tried this on two different windows computers and with both the Black Widow Chroma and the Chroma 2.
There are also constant sync issues, high CPU usage on Mac OS and devices often don't show up in the software.
Also their support can almost never solve an issue and often they recommend just reinstalling windows.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Major disappointment
on January 11, 2016

My profiles get corrupted a lot in both Windows 10 and OSX. In Windows the software doesn't remember the last profile i used and defaults to a game profile that is utterly useless for normal computer use. This is an issue when my wife tries to use my PC. The box said OS X compatible, except it doesn't work well in OS X. If you install synapsis the media keys don't work correctly, they map to where they would be on an apple keyboard. You also don't have access to your function keys. Razer support is either unable to unwilling to fix the issue. Anytime you contact them they give you the same stupid response, uninstall and reinstall your driver. My tech level is my day job is as lab administrator for a school. This has persisted thru multiple installs and i have also deleted all profiles and started over from scratch.

Underpowered For Production

I manage 38 of these between two labs, i a college art department. Not the model i recommended.. These machines are okay for web surfing, listening to music light photo editing and audio mixing and they didn't skimp on the displays. If your looking for a computer to use for editing camera raw files, video, games, auto cad digital painting or 3D modeling you may want to look somewhere else. The PCIe based storage is crazy fast but the CPU and integrated graphics just dot n't it. This model uses an i5-4570R CPU which is far better than the majority of PC's I've seen at best buy with pentium or AMD processors. Your still only going to see 2.7ghz max when running multithreaded applications. Apple's multi threaded optimization is superior to windows. In after effects i get 10-15fps when viewing none rendered 2-3 layer simple content. When you launch after effects you get a warning about lack of GPU support for the mercury rendering engine. When you launch auto cad in windows you get a warning about degraded performance due to the graphics card. The machines I have came with 16G of ram vs the 8G which is the only difference. 8G of ram not enough for the uses i listed above. 16G and up would be my recommendation. My machine at home runs 32G or ram with an Nvidia GTX 770 graphics card which supports after effects mercury engine. One thing you really need to consider is how valuable is your time. Time is one thing you can never get back do you really want to waste your life waiting on a computer?
