First of all, I paid $119.99 + $5.99 S&H for a total of $127.71. It is currently $109.99 so that's pretty cool.
The Razer BlackWidow Ultimate is a fantastic mechanical and gaming keyboard in its own right. Don't buy into brand loyalty: Logitech, Corsair, Razer - there is no "best" keyboard, it is preference and opinion. Just know if you buy this keyboard you will be getting a FANTASTIC product. I had my BlackWidow Ultimate (BWU) for two+ years and I never regretted it one day. It has excellent construction, great keys, cool features and functionality with Razer's software and the iconic green and black is an excellent pairing for these lights. So if you love the Razer ecosystem - the intense green products, Razer in general or you're a HUGE fan of Cherry Mx Blue switches (the extremely loud, clicky, clackety keys) this keyboard is probably the one for you. If you enjoy 'bang for the buck,' and the best value overall, you might want to settle for a Logitech G710+. Also, if you game at night and don't want to wake somebody up, like your significant other, siblings, parents, roommate, etc. or have thin walls perhaps the Logitech G710+ is also for you. It has Brown switches which are significantly better. On another note, if you don't like the "gamery" look to Razer products (although I don't know why you'd be looking at a Razer product then in the first place) perhaps the subtle white lights of the G710+ are for you instead of the intense green of Razer.
- NO WRIST REST, definitely a con compared to Logitech and Corsair's flagship keyboards which do include German switches and wrist rests -
Now for the full(er) review:
<b>APPEARANCE & AESTHETICS</b>
On first look right out of the box, you will be stunned. The BWU is a great looking keyboard, it's sturdy as hell, doesn't flex or and ultimately seems like the extremely high quality keyboard you always wanted. You initially think the physical design is flawless, especially when you plug it in and see those beautiful lights. However, after awhile you begin to see your thumbs leave horrible prints on the bottom edge (where most keyboards have wrist rests). Then, you see the keys get smudgy too. Then, you see the keyboard is a complete dust magnet and no matter how much you clean the thumb and fingerprints, you will never be truly content. I'm a fan of matte black products, but this particular material doesn't play well with your hands. Oh and you have to use your hands and fingers to operate this. Bummer.
<b>DESIGN & DURABILITY</b>
- NO WRIST REST, definitely a con compared to Logitech and Corsair's flagship keyboards which do include German switches and wrist rests -
With the exception of the poor material choice that attracts stains and prints like no other, this is an excellently constructed keyboard. It's sturdy, rigid and heavy. This thing won't budge on a glass or wood desk thanks to good feet, proper rubber padding and the general heft of the item. The keys are well thought out. You can feel certain keys are raised over others, these are typically the common keys used in gaming. All keyboards get 'higher' keys when you go from the 'ZXCV' to 'ASDF' to 'QWER' rows but the BWU has them a bit higher so you can really feel it. The macro keys are thankfully somewhat distant from your actual 'TAB, CAPS LOCK, SHIFT, CTRL' keys on the left side of the keyboard so you won't be pressing them accidentally. On day one if you're not used to these gigantic gaming keyboards, you will find typing a bit uncomfortable, you will lose typing speed, you will probably miss your key presses while gaming but you will become completely comfortable after a day or two, trust me. Just give it time. Overall, the design is fantastic. Oh and second thought: I once spilled coffee onto the left side of the keyboard. The keyboard didn't stutter, die or stop working - it was amazing. I vaccumed, compression air canned and wiped the coffee out and only two keys got permanently sticky but they still worked. Razer gets great marks for this in my book. People give them crap for their mechanical key switches not being German and claiming they're disguised high quality keyboards with cheap Chinese parts - this thing survived a venti Starbucks okay.
<b> FUNCTION</b>
The functionality of this keyboard is excellent. It has all the bells and whistles you come to expect from a mechanical gaming keyboard. Anti-ghosting, key rollover, 'gaming' key to disactivate your Windows key, dedicated macro keys, back lighting, software to customize macros, save macros and alter the lighting. The keyboard types and 'FEELS' fantastic. It's what we know and love from mechanical key switches. The tactile feedback, the orgasmic 'CLICKS' of the keys bottoming out - you get the entire experience on the Razer. Now for you poor readers out there: these have Cherry MX Blue switches, they're INTENDED to be extremely noisy, clicky and clackety. It's not a con, it's what you paid for. So many one star reviews say, "This keyboard felt amazing, but it was just too noisy." If you need quiet, get some MX Browns or something. Also, a lot of people dislike Razer's non-German mechanical keys. I'm currently typing on a Logitech G710+, I will say they do feel smoother but it's not something noticeable enough for me to complain or feel ripped off. The Razer switches are just fine people, don't panic.
<b>OVERALL SUMMARY</b>
If you really, really love Razer or already have Razer products (headsets, mice, etc) or have a green-LED case, room, green painted room, etc. and want to style it - go with Razer. Also, if you just enjoy the green/black look, go with Razer. If you love Razer in general, go with the BWU and have no fear. I loved the keyboard, like I said, no regrets. It was a fantastic product that was definitely an eye catcher to everybody who lays eyes on it. My older sister who hates me spending too much on gaming loved it when she borrowed my computer to do some stuff. She types at an absurdly fast WPM and said she loved the feedback. It's not just looks folks, those keys are sweet! Also, like I previously said, a very nice piece of room eye candy.
If you're price-conscious and like "the most bang for your buck," this keyboard is probably not your best option. The Logitech G710+ (which I purchased today via Best Buy for $99.99) is a much better option overall, price considered and not considered. It includes a wrist rest, has much 'softer' back lighting, smoother key feedback and feel, German switches, a nicer material that doesn't become a finger print magnet and I personally like the look more. It's got the lovely 'gamery' look to it, but it's not so over the top like Razer's robust, intense green.
This is my first mechanical keyboard; I'm currently studying computer science as a sophomore in college and my advisor kept raving about how great mechanical keyboards were, so I thought I'd try one out. I'm a pretty avid gamer (League of Legends, Borderlands, BF3, GW2, etc, several hours a week), so whether or not I'd be getting a gaming-focused keyboard was kind of out of the question.
I'd previously owned a Razer Lycosa Mirror, which wasn't a terrible keyboard until the cheap construction caught up to me and keys started sticking. Plastic pieces on some of the bigger keys (spacebar, return, etc) started breaking off which screwed with some of the spring mechanisms of the keys and wouldn't allow me to press some of the keys down unless I did so at a specific position on the key...needless to say, it was time for an upgrade.
I did some research regarding the best mechanical "gaming" keyboards (this one was at the top of most of the lists), since I figured whatever keyboard I got for gaming would to the job for programming, so long as it was mechanical. And BOY was I right; my semester-long project was due for CS this week and having neglected to work on it for most of the semester due to laziness, I had quite a bit of code to write. This keyboard performed like a dream, and I could easily notice a significant difference in the speed and precision at which I typed.
Pros:
- Mechanical advantage: drastically increases (at least for me) the speed and precision of typing
- Backlights: backlights are crisp and have very gradual brightness settings, unlike some keyobards with just 2 or 3
- Macro keys: I've never played a game where I've required macros. I can say, however, that the macro keys are placed in a very nice place, just to the left of the WASD cluster. Reachable with pinky (possibly)? Can't speak for the macro-junkies out there since, as I mentioned, I'm not one myself.
- Audible clicks, anyone? I'm a huge fan of the Cherry mx blue switches. I love the satisfying feedback you get from not only the tangible click, but also from the crisp, loud click you get from pressing a key down on this keyboard.
BUILD QUALITY. And I cannot stress this enough. Whereas my Lycosa felt cheap and fragile, this keyboard feels very sturdy and the construction feels a lot stronger. Keyboard is heavy and I love the rubber-esque finish on the body and the matte finish on the keys.
Cons:
- None thus far, will have to see if this keyboard can withstand the test of time.
Additional things you might want to know.
- Audible clicks: not everyone might be a fan of the clicks. Might want to do some research about the different types of switches there are; as far as Cherry switches go, pretty sure the MX Blues are either the loudest or next to the loudest; if you're looking for a quiet, subtle keyboard, the MX Blue switches are NOT for you.
- The FN key is in a way different location than anything I've ever seen. Here, it's located next to the right ALT key, whereas on most keyboards I've previously owned with an FN key, the key's been located on the bottom left of the keyboard. I'm not complaining, it actually works out nicely for me, since i would often tend to slip and hit the FN key on my other keyboards. As I do not use the right ALT & CTRL keys, this problem has essentially been eliminated for me.
Final thoughts:
This keyboard receives a 5/5 rating without a shred of doubt. I am 100% satisfied with my purchase and would recommend this to anyone looking for a new mechanical keyboard or a gaming keyboard.
Top reviews from other countries
I am reviewing the 2013 version with green backlighting.
1) People complain about the blue version being finger-print prone, but the green 2013 version has a MATTE finish. That's right. Check it out on youtube, it's a matte finish. its gorgeous, and stays clean.
2) People complain about the left alt button getting stuck with the space bar. This problem is clearly fixed in all the 2013 reviews.
3) The previous version had half the anti-ghosting limit. The new version has up to 20 keys anti-ghosting.
4) The previous version had like 5 backlit brightness modes. This new version has like 20 brightness modes, its almost like a gradient. Plus. its GREEN. if green is not your favorite color, don't worry, this is gorgeous.
5) Some reviewers are crying about the need to install synapse for the keyboard to work. This is NOT true, at least not for 2013 version. My windows 7 driver detects it immediately, lights go on, and no software is required (i can do everything including change brightness of keys). I dont trust razer software anyway. However, if you dont install the software, you wont have any functionality for the macro keys on the left.
6) Some unintellectual people argue "real gamers don't need to look at their keyboard" I am pretty sure when you take your eyes off the keyboard in the dark, and you're trying to find your "F" and "J" key with the little indent, you'd be better off with a backlit keyboard. I have a typing speed of 100 words per minute. And I still find a backlit key board extremely helpful in low-light conditions. Why do you think all the mac's have back lighting? What if you are entering a product key for something? People who use this line of argument don't realize how much they look at their keyboard without realizing it. What if you cross your arms in the dark? and you try to type again, you realize you're wasting time trying to find the F and J keys when you could've just looked at a backlit keyboard for half a second. If your accuracy depends on where the F and J keys are, you are using relative accuracy. Perfect pitch is always better than relative pitch.
7)There are many people saying razer is unreliable and makes crappy products for children. That may be true. A lot of razer products are junk (mamba). And I also heard razer has terrible customer support. If u purchase off amazon, amazon will serve u well. If u get a defected 2013 key board (unlikely. VERY unlikely with the 2013 version), send it in and keep doing it until you get the right one. Because it is WORTH it. Don't look at razer as a company, just look at this product. Don't look at the 2012 reviews. Look at the 2013 version reviews. It's backlit, its mechanical. The sound it makes is amazing. Look no further.
Summary:
Layout is perfect. This is the best piece of technology I have ever bought. Better than any mouse, better than any speaker, any headset.
I have never had a problem with this keyboard. Driver install was simple, and I didn't even install it on the computer the keyboard is currently used with.
This keyboard comes with blue switches, meaning it gives a tactile feedback (you can feel when the keys are pressed) and audio feedback (the keys click like a typewriter). I would recommend doing some research into the type of switches you want. There are many types including my preferences; brown, blue, and red. Brown gives a tactile feedback without the audio. Blue I have already described, Red gives neither, which is nice if you only want the speed boost and reliability of a mechanical keyboard. The most common switch out there is blue, because it is the classic switch, the one that most people s think is the only option.
Razer is a great brand for gaming. Getting their ergonomic mouse for Christmas, the one that matches this keyboard. Both of them have the green backlight which really makes people notice your awesome 'board.
This keyboard would be great for people who wish they could connect a typewriter to their computer. It comes in a nice, professional box. Would look great for Christmas. I only recommend that you look into the switch types. I believe that this keyboard only comes with blue.
Unpacking it was fairly easy, but when it was out, it was a beautiful thing. The keys sounds wonderful as a mechanical keyboard should, all having a nice *click* to them. Every key has a translucent letter allowing you to see them all even in pitch darkness. The buttons are very receptive to pressure and they feel great.
However, the macro buttons on the left are sometimes fairly awkward. I used to place my hand on the keyboard by placing my pinky on the control key and finding all the corresponding keys immediately under my fingers. However, the macro keys will sometimes get in the way and I'll have my hand wrongly set up. It takes a few second to move your hand in the correct position, but it will take a bit to get used to.
I have not touched the software yet, it is not needed.
Very comfy and great gaming keyboard, I wouldn't have any other one now.
the packaging of the keyboard was nice and i would recommend you buying this keyboard if you want something nice for gaming.
the adjustable brightness is good it has like 15 brightness levels.
great keyboard and think you guys should consider buying it
The only negative for me is that it is a very very loud keyboard, but that is off-set by a much nicer feel to the keys.
