Razer, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, introduced a newly improved Razer BlackWidow Ultimate mechanical gaming keyboard to its best-selling keyboard line-up today. Augmented with water and dust resistant features, the latest Razer BlackWidow Ultimate is redesigned to be the most resilient gaming keyboard to date. With an IP54 rating, the keyboard has been tested to protect against accidental water spillage and harmful dust particles.
"We've never stopped making improvements to our gaming keyboards," says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder, and CEO. "The Razer BlackWidow Ultimate is now more durable than ever and our first mechanical keyboard to incorporate water and dust resistant features."
The Razer BlackWidow Ultimate continues to boast individually backlit keys. Each green LED is easily customizable through Razer's Synapse software, which offers a wide range of dynamic lighting effects which include: Wave, Ripple, Reactive, Starlight and more. Gamers are able to create various lighting profiles via the advanced lighting effect configurator.
The Razer BlackWidow Ultimate also comes equipped with the award-winning Razer Mechanical Switches, the world's first key switch designed specifically for gaming. Available for this keyboard in a single switch variant - the Razer Green Switch - Razer continues to lead the industry with gaming-optimized actuation and reset responsiveness.

4 Comments on Razer Upgrades the BlackWidow Ultimate with Water and Dust Resistant Features
Oh well, still been good to me so far.
P.S. And just so you know, IP54 is not an exceptional dust/water protection either. It is considered -at least- basic, or even inadequate in some cases. Certainly IP54 is not suppose to protect against water like the one in the photo that Razer shows here.
