What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Razer BlackWidow Chroma Gaming Keyboard Clicky Mechanical Switches

I love it. I have limited space on my desk for a full sized keyboard and I never use the number pad anyway. I'm a big fan of loud clicky sounding keyboards too so it's perfect for me.
Its compact size, button layout and simplicity works very well for me.
Love it, perfect size for my desk, works great, looks great.
Used to have a keyboard with loads of macro keys to the left and a numpad which I never used. The compact size of this keyboard is amazing.
Apart from that , good keyboard , very nice feel and the small size actually is something I prefer now , I like the keyboard a lot.

Razer BlackWidow Chroma V2 (RZ03-02030200-R3U1) Tactile and Clicky Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

Really responsive and fast, also well sized
It’s visually impressive, as the keys are raised so the RGB programmable backlight illuminates below each key as well as the key characters.
It's rather large, so takes a bit of getting used to if you often use smaller/normal sized keyboards.
The keyboard has a good weight to it and has a metal base which makes it feel really premium!
Taking it out of the box I was immediately struck by the weight of it. You can sense that its a quality item.

What customers say about "Keys"

Razer BlackWidow Chroma Gaming Keyboard Clicky Mechanical Switches

The keys feel just amazing and the click is so satisfying. I am a person who loves to game and it is the best keyboard for gaming (in my opinion) I love it for typing as well as gaming.
In my opinion blue MX keys are the most comfortable all round key type for both gaming and typing.
This keyboard is absolutely amazing. RGB is very nice and this keyboard really is nice to look at and the mechanical keys are really satisfying to use with the loud click.
The keys feel exactly the same as Cherry MX Blues with a higher actuation point so response time is quicker than that of Cherry MX blues with is a huge plus for gaming.
My X Key went a little mushy but as its still in warranty i can get it fixed before i sell it.

Razer BlackWidow Chroma V2 (RZ03-02030200-R3U1) Tactile and Clicky Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

The keyboard is great, the keys feel really nice as they are very clicky (Razer Green) Feels great while gaming, there is no strain even after very long gaming sessions.
I am absolutely Blown away by such a Amazing Keyboard, I love the clicky sound each key makes, it is extremely sensitive meaning I do Not have to press the key down hard.
The keys require about a quarter click to register which really helps in games because as we know every split second counts.
Excellent build quality with a metal back plate and exposed switch design the key switches on this model are the upgraded Razer green switch.
Really excellent keyboard. It is worth noting that the keys are not silent, however they are much quieter than the standard Chroma keyboard.

What customers say about "Features"

Razer BlackWidow Chroma Gaming Keyboard Clicky Mechanical Switches

For the back lighting is very good it highlights the keys very well .
This keyboard is absolutely amazing. RGB is very nice and this keyboard really is nice to look at and the mechanical keys are really satisfying to use with the loud click.
There is a massive variety of lighting on this keyboard I think it is work the extra money to get the Chroma keyboard instead of just the green one.
RGB Lighting is a whole other thing. Lets just say, if you have time and you're creative person, your options are pretty much limitless.
Overall i'd recommend it if your a gamer and the rgb lights are by quite a bit still better then corsairs rgb lights but if your a typist in anyway i'd avoid it compare to a k70 or Das keyboard 4 ultimate.

Razer BlackWidow Chroma V2 (RZ03-02030200-R3U1) Tactile and Clicky Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

The lights are cool, there's some effects I wasn't aware of such as the fire effect where the lights simulate a fire behind the keys which is quite nice and somewhat fitting to the season!
The Num Lock and other lights are too bright and I found them intrusive to a clear view of the keyboard.
The macro keys are brilliant for using in FPS games for quick healing. :)
Extremely comfortable wrist rest. If I could buy the rest separately I would buy 100 and use them as a pillow.
For the avoidance of doubt, the keyboard and media keys work perfectly but the latest version of Synapse on the Mac doesn't recognise the keyboard, so I can't program keyboard macros and suchlike on the Mac.
The only thing that I want to point out is that the media keys don't have light to the key function but around them so you cant actually see what the media key's function is in the dark.
