Rather have a keyboard that's has RGB built in function's instead of using an app
By Scott B. Villarreal on Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2020
This Keyboard is amazing. It looks amazing, feels amazing, sounds amazing and the wrist rest is worth the reason to get this keyboard because I need a reason to justify with me why I'm getting a $200 keyboard. I love the clicky knows the keyboard makes and it feels really nice on my fingertips. I'm definitely going to type some questionable fan fictions with this keyboard that will make you say "Every day we stray farther away from god" So I will honestly admit because It does not have the ability to change the lights by holding the function keys... or it does and I just don't know it yet. Then I would want to return the keyboard and get a cheaper one just to have RGB built-in maybe I should have got the Steelseries Omni keys over this keyboard. It's very difficult to make a decision over comparing keyboards around the $200 price range actually matter of fact I didn't like the Steel series because it looks like a gimmick and people were saying the steel series keyboard worth $200 was overpriced. In conclusion... do your research on what chroma li9ghts are... If you want to make sure you get good RGB and are looking for a $200 then get the CORSAIR keyboard that has RGB not this keyboard. I'm a tough customer to satisfy in terms of high quality when it comes to comparison and doing my research and knowing what I want so I would get the CORSAIR instead iff I knew that I needed an app for the Chroma lights. Razer is lucky I'm keeping this keyboard and ironically I'm a RAZER fan now because it's still an expensive keyboard and I definitely show quality to it's utmost and the wrist rest is in a league of its own. So I sacrifice The RGB lights for chroma lights that I don't really like for the best in terms of quality so I'm confident that I have quality on a scale of 1-10 is a level 10 on the scale of how high quality this keyboard is . This keyboard is my ultimate weapon for years to come and I got the warranty from amazon for confidence that my investment is locked in. In summary, the following in on a level scale from 1-0 Chroma lights Level 3; Honestly, if it was not for the wrist pad having the lights as well this would have been a deal breaker but the wrist rest saves the keyboard. Keys Level 10 It's really hard for me to imagine that it can get any better than this, Indeed this is the best keyboard you can ever have if you spend any more money than $200 you are paying for gimmicks or other things that have nothing to do with then keyboards quality and STOP complaining about the keys being so loud it's not that bad its actually just right for a clicky keyboard. The Havit keyboard for $47 had a louder clicky keyboard with RGB but in functions so I already miss that keyboard... I might buy it again because I returned it to get this keyboard but im apparently greedy and want both of them to know but I keep telling myself if I'm going to get another RGB keyboard then I will get one that is Bluetooth. Wrist rest Level 10 This wrist rest should save me years of grief and discomfort. I would rather spend $200 on a good keyboard with a top-notch wrist rest than spend more than $200 on surgery for my wrist going bad. This investmetn will save my wrist in the future. The wrist rest has lights at the bottom with a magnetic connector to connect ton the bottom of the keyboard. Overall I don't have a justifiable reason to return this keyboard or rate it 2 stars but for now, I will give it 5 stars for the highest in quality that Razer was really truthful about. You want the best quality and make sure you are getting what you pay for dollar for dollar than get this keyboard. Honestly, the chroma lights are not that bad I just need to get use to them.

Pick the blackwidow over this.

When considering the Blackwidow and a couple of custom keyboards I've owned... The only thing this keyboard has going for it is the magnetic wrist rest and extra RGB lighting. The optical switches feel okay but when depressed with force though they give a "springy" sound, making them feel cheap. At this price point, I wish better buttons were used for the media controls, doesn't feel premium at all. A non-detachable cable is kind of not great either, would've liked to see a detachable USB-C port accompanied by a splitter. The travel on these keys is LOW, they're pretty sensitive to the touch. I'd say ~40% less than a traditional mechanical keyboard. With this though, I'd say the responsiveness of this keyboard is superb, really helps that the keys are robust yet light and slightly textured so you have a grip. Not docking any stars for that as I'm sure some people prefer that! The material of the keyboard is excellent, it's solid and doesn't have much flex. Construction on the keycaps and LED quality is superb as usual for a razer. Here's my problem with this keyboard. MOST of these similarities are shared with the Razer Blackwidow Elite Wireless. The construction on the razer green switches (not the yellow/purple optical ones) "feel" better to the touch since there's no "springy" sound, it just feels solid and less toy-like. Unless you're pressed for money, I'd avoid this and save up for the Blackwidow Elite as wireless and mechanical switches seem like the better choice for someone looking for more value per dollar. I don't think the extra RGB on this keyboard is worth it for losing a passthrough USB port and wireless functionality. If this was priced at $85 I definitely wouldn't be complaining but for $220 after tax.... it's just not worth it. Even when this goes on sale for 50% off it's a pretty steep buy. There's a good chunk of smaller name keyboards out there that perform comparable to this keyboard, better in some cases for under $100. Do your research before grabbing this keyboard.
