Razer BlackWidow X Chroma Mechanical Gaming Keyboard: Green Key Switches - Tactile & Clicky - Chroma RGB Lighting - Military-Grade Metal Construction - Mercury White

This is the first time in over a year that I've used a mechanical keyboard and I am impressed. The main reason I chose this keyboard over others within the same price range was aesthetics. The white key caps on a smooth light metal finish was so refreshing over other boards, I was tired of having the same old black on black finish on all of my tech. There was also the font of the key caps which needed to be considered. This board sports a nice modern font which is easy to see and not over sized and bold like which could be found on most corsair keyboards (some people might like this but to me it was a huge turnoff). The software works flawlessly and the lighting has many configurations to try although i stuck with the static as it is not distracting. The lighting can be dimmed and there are many different colors but the only downside is that some colors pop while other colors, such as pink, are hard to get right. The keys give great feed back in terms of touch and sound(It may be too clicky for some, especially when you are typing for long periods of time), only a little bit of pressure is needed but the resistance is noticeable so it doesn't feel overly sensitive while at the same time you only need to move your finger a bit for the key to register. There really aren't many cons to this keyboard and I think that the design choice made by razer is a step in the right direction. No more over the top black finishes or green logos and cheap plastic. It honestly feels like a whole new brand. I will be looking forward to other name brand peripheral manufacturers to follow suit.

For gaming, the Razer Blackwidow X Chroma mechanical keyboard in the fantastic color of Mercury white is unbeatable. I first looked into purchasing a mechanical keyboard to replace an old rubber domed Logitech keyboard that was nearing the end of its life cycle. I did my research and looked at several different mechanical keyboards including the highly reputable but surprisingly low reviewed Ducky keyboard found on Newegg, along with the pinnacle of German engineering found in the glorious looking but overpriced WASD Keyboards. After asking several CS and EE majors about their opinions, I was still stuck in the middle until I landed upon a hint form a friend and the keyboard that he had: the Blackwidow (in black). Then I went onto Razer's website and found this beauty in white. Like the Holy Grail it matched my tower, complimented my desk, and lit up with the same intensity and fury as my new mouse. Here it was, the White Whale that Moby Dick himself was looking for, and it was to be all mine. As far as the noise level goes, come on guys (or gals), you bought the equivalent of the Cherry MX Blue switches for a reason. No sane person would want to be roommates with someone who uses one of these marvelous keyboards on a daily occurrence. And this sound was exactly what I was looking for, where some people listen to the sound of people eating pickles in ASMR videos to relax, I listen to the superior tactile click of this keyboard at high typing speeds to get my jimmies all hot and bothered after a long day of putting up with people's bs. If you are looking for a keyboard that is truly worth its weight in gold, then definitely go for this one. P.S this is a 100% honest review that is not being sponsored by anyone (although Razer is free to sponsor me even though I suck at PVP video games)

LOVE the look! I always wanted a blackwidow but never bit the bullet to buy it. I immediately decided to purchase it when I saw there's a white one. So far it had been working perfectly, except for the times Synapse wouldn't work. The color in the first pic is a bit off since I have a yellow light bulb. The second one is more accurate. Make sure you download the newest Synapse software for things like overwatch chroma colors. It's awesome! I use it intensively for work, on Pro Tools (audio software if you don't know). I have macros programmed on it, and linked Pro Tools to the profile. As long as Synapse doesn't bug out, it's been running perfectly. As mentioned, the Synapse software does sometimes mess up. I absolutely hate when I'm in full screen game and the app just stops working, making my whole keyboard unusable... Normally it'll work if I close the app down but in full screen mode, sometimes it's not an option since sometimes you need to press a key to use cursor... What I did was hook up another keyboard just to exit out of the game. Try reinstall the software if it randomly stops working. There's really nothing else you can do as they are still trying to develop the software.

I upgraded from a refurbished Razer Blackwidow Chroma Ultimate that developed a finicky D key after a few years. Things I like about this one: the color is pretty amazing. The white keys really help to show off the individual key colors, and the metal base is sturdy and weighty so it won't go scooting across your desk. Keys are nice and clicky and have a comfortable amount of travel. The keys are also not surrounded by a shell/housing like previous keyboards, which makes this MUCH easier to keep clean. Honestly, that's the biggest selling point to me. Things I don't like about this one: My last one had a usb port on the right hand side so I could plug in the mouse/base for my mouse. This one doesn't have that. However, that also means that the cord going to the back of the computer isn't as big since there is only one connection. Also there are no macro keys along the side on this one, but I didn't use them much, so it's not a big deal for me. Mentioning it in case it matters to other folks. Easily the best keyboard I've owned over the years.

I honestly love this keyboard. It's very durable with the aluminum base and braided cord; it has a good weight to it and doesn't slide around and the keys feel really good (the arrow keys feel different for some reason, a mooshy feeling). The synapse software is really easy to use and I haven't had any issues changing the color profiles on this keyboard at all. In my opinion, the synapse software is much more reliable compared to the corsair utility engine I've used a few months prior to buying this product. I haven't had any issues with this keyboard to date, and I haven't noticed any rusting issues on the aluminum base either. The ONLY thing i don't like about this keyboard.... I saw on a couple video reviews that the original Black Widow X keyboard has a USB passthrough port build into the base, this Mercury Edition does not. Somewhat disappointing, but I'd say its more of a luxury feature than necessary.

I've been wanting to get myself a mechanical keyboard for a while and since I have owned a few Razer keyboards in the past I decided to stick to the brand. So enter the Razer Black widow x Chroma Mercury White edition. Pros: 1: Love the look! White caps on a silver body looks really nice. 2: Great Tactile keys! I absolutely love the tactile click, sound and feel of each keystroke. Typing is an absolute joy. All is not perfect however, Ill get to that in the "Cons" section. Keys also have a soft touch feel to them which makes me wonder how they will hold up over time, I guess we will see. 3: Nice RGB illumination. Also my first RGB keyboard. I was not really a fan of boards that allow the light to spill out under the caps but seeing it in person, it actually looks really nice. The ability to change the colour of each individual key is also nice. If I am honest I don’t care much for the RGB madness as I will most likely select a colour that matches my setup an work with that. Cons: 1: Keys wobble........a lot. This I did not expect. I have never experienced this in a Razer keyboard before, well not on this level. Just looking at the keys from above the keyboard you will notice that some keys are slanted and as if they are rotating just slightly on the key stem. Its off putting especially for a keyboard that cost this much. 2: The above mentioned issue leads to inconsistent key strokes. For example the left shift key rocks around a bit on its stem and because of this, hitting shift will register a click but the key will not bottom out correctly or get jammed mid way reducing its key travel requiring a harder press. Sometimes it will bottom out and just stay there. which ruins what is as mentioned before, a amazing typing experience. 3: No USB Passthrough Or Media Keys. In all honesty, I don’t use or needs these features. I could see use for the USB passthroughs but I have had a Razer Lycosa for almost 10 years and I’ve never ever used them. Just thought it should mention this as other may find those features important. Conclusion: Great Keyboard. A joy to type on when my fun isn’t interrupted by wobbly keys (that damn Left shift!!!). it’s far from perfect though. My old Lycosa had more stable keys. This actually feels more like my Cynosa Pro in terms of key stability. I am willing to forgive the Cynosa as that keyboard is far cheaper.

I bought handful of Razer products for my most recent PC build and I am extremely pleased with the quality and functionality of all the products I've used thus far, particularly this keyboard. The BlackWidow X is the first mechanical keyboard I've owned, and I can say with confidence I won't be going back to a membrane keyboard anytime soon. Although this is a gaming keyboard, I do a lot of work on my gaming PC, so my keyboard needs to be typist-friendly as well as gamer-friendly. The BlackWidow servers both purposes flawlessly. The simplistic design, heavy metal frame, Chroma lighting, mechanical keys, & the Synapse software used to configure the keyboard all work together to make this the perfect keyboard for gaming. I particularly like how the keys map to certain games and light up accordingly based on what's going on in the game (Overwatch being my favorite example). In addition, I almost feel as though I type faster on this board. Maybe it's just the clicking of the keys giving me that impression, but for whatever reason, the spacing of the keys and their sensitivity are perfect for my typing style. The metal metal not only gives the impression that the board is very high quality, but the weight of it prevents the board from shifting around the desk accidentally. I really don't have enough good things to say about this keyboard. If I had any complaint, it would be that the white keys (I bought the Mercury Edition) obviously show any dirt that builds up more more quickly than standard black keys. However, I don't even mind that so much as it let's me know it's time for a cleaning.

Just got the keyboard and setup the colors for the various key-groups. Pretty straight forward. Looks really high tech with the various colors. My function keys are a unique color as well as the enter and other specialized keys. It should help finding them a bit faster. I use many keyboards and there are slight to major differences to key locations. I like the mechanical feel of the keyboard. I find that I type better if I forget about the longer travel and type as I normally would. My table is a bit higher but when I move it to a better location, I think it will feel even better. The quality is top notch. It would really look good against a Mac computer but not bad against my black and aluminum trimmed monitors. Sure any keyboard will work and I have bought some for $4.oo (wired) as many people are pretty abusive. But for the money I have no regrets and look forward to exploring more of the macro features when setting up specialized software.

Tolle Tastatur, jedoch Amerikanisches Layout, was ich der Beschreibung nicht entnommen habe, sonst top.

キー入力が毎回違う場所で反応しなくなる。USB接続だが無反応になる事がある。大丈夫な時とダメな時があり使えない。

Should have done my research before purchasing this but shortcuts does not work on iMac. Also, when I try to register this product, it says product not found.

Al ser de una marca reconocida es de muy buena calidad, la capa de personalización rgb es genial y su apariencia me encanto , llego en tiempo y en perfectas condiciones

This is a spectacular keyboard if you are going for the white/silver aesthetic. It is well built and feels nice. The keys being raised makes the whole keyboard a breeze to clean. Plus with the Razer software the customization options for the keyboard seem endless. From specific colors to keys for software, to just very fancy looking animations.
