I’d rather err on the side of comfort and use real MX Blues instead of worrying about shaving milliseconds off my double-taps (and bottoming out keys more often in the process), but that’s ultimately your call. However, no matter which keyboard you choose, you make compromises. Presumably, you don’t want to drag a different keyboard out of the closet each time you browse the web, do your taxes, write the next Great American Novel, or what-have-you. That’s great if all you do on your PC is games, games, games.īut as I discussed in my review of the 2014 BlackWidow and as I’ve said on PCWorld time and time again: A keyboard is for more than just gaming. Razer claims this design is good for gaming: You can double- and triple-press Razer’s keys a bit faster than standard Cherry Blues. This means you get a lot of resistance up front and nearly none after a key press registers. They require the same force to press as Cherry MX Blues (50 cN) and feature the same kind of clicky feel, but with a slightly higher actuation point and a lower reset point.
In my opinion, they’re bargain-basement Cherry MX Blues. And with the design having changed so little, that also means this keyboard still packs Razer’s own mechanical switches-the model we reviewed had Greens. The remaining features are pretty much identical to the 2014 BlackWidow-same fabric cable sheath, same diagonal cutouts in the lower corners, same media keys. The only other tweak I spotted is so small that it’s almost not worth mentioning, but the Function key now lights up.
Those two changes make up the bulk of the 2016 overhaul.
