The Tournament Edition ($89.95 at Amazon) is a bit slimmer-1.18 by 14.4 by 60.6 inches-but the V2 is still far from a big keyboard.

The dimensions hold roughly the same at 1.25 by 18.5 by 7.25 inches (HWD), and the body is made of an appealing matte black plastic. Design and FeaturesĪt first glance, this BlackWidow looks much like the original. The similarly priced Corsair K95 RGB ( at Amazon) remains our Editors' Choice for its top-notch build and feature set, but I'd expect this BlackWidow to satisfy most PC gamers, and it's especially appealing if you want to remain in Razer's cloud profile ecosystem. The lack of a media bar is the biggest disappointment, but not a deal breaker, and the BlackWidow Chroma V2 is generally a breeze to type on and game with. It's expensive, but you're getting top-of-the-line customization options and useful features like a USB pass-through. The full makeover is now here, with more proprietary switch options than ever, gorgeous customizable key lighting, and smaller changes like new key caps with a new font.


The BlackWidow Chroma V2 ($169.99) is the main follow-up to Razer's popular BlackWidow gaming keyboard, which has gone through several spinoff iterations such as the Ultimate ($156.00 at Lenovo) and the Tournament Edition.
