Razer BlackWidow Tournament Edition Chroma Keyboard Now Available

btarunr · Apr 17, 2015

Razer announced availability of its flagship compact gaming keyboard, the BlackWidow Tournament Edition Chroma. It's essentially a BlackWidow Tournament Edition, the company's popular numpad-free mechanical gaming keyboard, but the company's swanky new Chroma multi-color key backlit system. The Chroma system, configurable using Razer Synapse software, lets you color-code individual keys over the full RGB palette, and even lets certain games color-code them for you (eg: cop-chases in GTA V cause the function keys to flash police strobe lights). Under the hood, the BlackWidow features Razer's in-house designed mechanical switches, designed for over 60 million keystrokes. Available now in US and Canada, exclusive to Best Buy and Razer Zone, the Razer BlackWidow Tournament Edition Chroma is priced at US $140.

USD140 is actually a decent price for people who want discolight keyboards. Alternatives are quite a bit more pricey.

This why we cant have nice things

well, a upgraded Razer product is still a Razer product ... and imho a pure p.o.s, and i got quite my lot of Razer, testing for myself and for friends ... who are, all without exception, grateful to me that i recommended them another brand with a equivalent product and a lower price (not mentioning better quality too... )

ie: if i want a good TKL keyboard i would rather take a Roccat Ryos TKL Pro than a BW Chroma

In house switches ?, and not Kailh which are cheaper to make a keyboard. Funny that Kailh have a 60k key press too.

Seems way over priced and tell you the truth besides the rgb which don't look all that good the keyboard looks kinda iffy.

The sucker will buy these with Mommies money...
