Coming in at a weighty 3.31 lbs, the Razer Blackwidow Chroma V2 is built to take all levels of abuse and punishment a user could throw at it. The Razer Synapse software is also a great control centre for all of Razer’s compatible products, giving me the ability to easily set up multiple profiles, effects and lights to cater to the game I was playing at the time.Īll of this sounds great, but some readers may be thinking this doesn’t add up to a board worth $230 yet, so let’s talk about the build and features. Each house-made key is bright and powerful, giving the user the ability to discern even the slightest difference in shades.
Because of how traditional cherry mx switches are made, the illumination on many keyboards can come out subdued or lacking in brightness, but Razer boards don’t have this issue. While the range of effects and colours are nothing new to any RGB expert, I love how Razer’s boards illuminate. It wouldn’t be a Chroma product if the Blackwidow V2 didn’t spew out the 16.8 million colour spectrum we have come to love from RGB products.
