Razer Announces Blackwidow Stealth Edition Gaming Keyboards
Razer, the world's leading high-end precision gaming brand, is emerging from the shadows to unleash a flurry of hurt with the Razer BlackWidow Stealth Edition mechanical gaming keyboards. Both the Ultimate and Standard versions of this hardcore mechanical keyboard have been refitted with a keyset that offers tactility but with a quieter feedback for the true silent assassins of gaming.
The Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Stealth Edition also comes with extreme anti-ghosting. This is an improvement over the traditional anti-ghosting matrix when it allows up to 6 simultaneous key presses anywhere on the keyset so your orchestra of destruction is executed in its entirety.
"Where the first Razer BlackWidow can be likened to a barbarian ploughing through enemies with ease, the Stealth Edition of this mechanical keyboard is the ninja who sneaks up on opponents unexpectedly to take them down in a quick blur," said Robert "RazerGuy" Krakoff, President, Razer USA. "Quieter feedback on the keys, lighter actuation force, extreme anti-ghosting on the Ultimate version, and a new matte black finish make the Stealth Edition of the Razer BlackWidow keyboards the best choice for the unassuming but extremely deadly gamer."
Both Ultimate and Standard versions of the Razer BlackWidow Stealth Edition are now available exclusively on Razerzone.

In addition, complete anti-ghosting on the entire keyset allows up to 6 simultaneous key presses so multiple commands or actions can be executed at the same time. Rounding that off with backlighting, additional macro keys, and on-the-fly macro recording, the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Stealth Edition is a weapon of ruthless power.

Im not a fan at all of the original Blackwidow, Cherry MX Blues are less than ideal for gaming and the construction was less than i expected im keen to see if this is the same with new keys.
I just pulled the trigger on this to replace my aging Saitek Eclipse. I did a lot of research and as this is going to be my 1st mechanical keyboard. I was trying to find a MX Red keyboard that was backlit and that led to an exhaustive, fruitless search
This keyboard has a good look to it. It appears to use MX Brown switches that require 45g actuation force, has a nice gaming mode to disable the windows key and 5 different levels of brightness for the LED
