The 2019 edition ticks some boxes, but may leave some wanting more
Razer 'Green' Switches - Light under finger with a satisfying click ; Sharp backlighting ; Well-made and hard-wearing ; Hypershift feature mitigates lack of macro keys
Software is difficult to use in-depth ; Textured plastic shell feels cheap ; No dedicated macro or multimedia keys
The 2019 edition of the Razer Blackwidow ticks some boxes in its revision, but lacks what some would perceive as basic functions that are available on the majority of the competition at this price. The clicky switches, flashy lights and bright colours...

Pure mechanical bliss
Multiple connectivity options ; Well built ; Great switches and keycaps
Very Expensive ; Some glitches in Synapse ; Lacking advanced tweaks
The Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro 75% is a seriously premium wireless gaming keyboard with exceptional build quality and performance. The hot-swappable design and multiple connectivity options are a boon as well. There are a few niggles with the Synapse...

Razer has released a whole host of BlackWidow keyboards over the years - from the original back in 2 It's a new BlackWidow mechanical keyboard from Razer, taking the family back to basics
Razer Green switches are great to type and game with.
Lacks some features compared to similarly-priced keyboards.
Razer’s new BlackWidow is an excellent keyboard for those who want Razer switches and Chroma lighting. There is stiff competition at this price point, though, so you can find more feature-rich boards at a similar price if you don’t mind stepping out of...

Mechanical Switches
Lack of dedicated multimedia buttons
Without doubt the best featured mechanical keyboard we’ve seen to date!
Expert review by : Mike Epstein (pcmag.com)
The 2019 edition of Razer's BlackWidow gaming keyboard is a smart compromise for budget-conscious players, offering top-of-the-line fundamentals at the expense of some quality-of-life features we've come to expect in high-end devices.

The Razer BlackWidow Tournament Edition mechanical keyboard is touted as being travel friendly, but the compact build only limits the functionality.
Quality construction with Cherry MX Blue mechanical switches. 10-key anti-ghosting. Detachable USB cable. Includes travel case.
Compact design removes numeric pad.

Expert review by : PC Magazine (pcmag.com)
Mechanical switches provide audio and tactile feedback. Backlit.
Stylized font on keys is hard to read. No backlight customization. Poor shielding for pass-thru ports. Smudge-prone finish.
The Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2013 Elite is a solid mechanical gaming keyboard, but it has its flaws, like a smudge prone-finish and poorly shielded connections.

Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
Cherry MX Blue mechanical-key switches offer one of the most satisfying typing experiences available; backlighting helps you game in the dark; on-the-fly macro recording; intuitive driver software.
Backlighting and a few spare ports don't justify the $40 premium over the non-Ultimate BlackWidow.
At $125, the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate is a competitively priced mechanical gaming keyboard in its range. We just wish Razer had done more to set this "Ultimate" edition apart from Razer's more affordable standard BlackWidow.

Several months ago, we had a quick look at the BlackWidow Ultimate from Razer, a company very well known for their focus on gaming-related products. A few weeks ago, Razer announced that they have developed their own all-new mechanical switches,...
In terms of design, there is little to say about the BlackWidow Ultimate, as the keyboard has essentially been around for years already. Razer refined it over time, adding one little upgrade after the other, the latest being their own Green switches....
Expert review by : Jason Bouwmeester (techaeris.com)
Our Razer BlackWidow Ultimate review takes a look at the latest version of one of the gaming company's highest-rated mechanical gaming keyboards which Razer has now made IP54 water and dust-resistant.
Low-profile looking design ; Tactile Razer Green Switches ; IP54 water- and dust-proof ; Macro functions ; Game mode ; LED backlit
Uses Razer Synapse 2 software ; Can't adjust speed of lighting movement ; Can't see all key prints in darker lighting
