Cant wait for it to come in other switch types. Greens are just too loud if you share a room with someone else. 😞

They got rid of the best features of the Blackwidow line, the macro keys and the USB and Audio pass through. For 30 dollars cheaper you lose a lot.

heh I was right about new BW 😛 looks decent

Is it gonna have more key switches available?
Seems nice without the macro keys.
Huntsman seems better than this keyboard in every aspect. Altough Huntsman is of course more expensive than this.

No, that's why it's cheaper, you'll need the Elite or V2 for the yellows or oranges.

It looks like they've ran out of ideas, doesn't look any different at all for me, except the obvious, the design.

I agree with you, green swithes are too noisy (for me), can't stream nor record live videos with those.

That being said, it's great to see a new "stock" Blackwidow much more affordable than the Elite.

I like the Razer logo, but for me - it's ackward to type without wrist rest on such high keyboard/keys.

Is this good?

The Hunstman keyboard style seems to apply to the new incoming Razer keyboards.
I'm disappointed. You just cut the best features and make us pay more just for switch type.

Again blackwidow without macro +5 keys on the left side 😞 , still blackwidow V2 is best

I know what you mean about the Green switches. I was playing Overwatch and I was told to turn down/off my keyboard lol I have the original Blackwidow Chroma!

hmmm, not for me. i just received my BW chroma Tournament Edition in Feb, which also is green switches. and i've still yet to use my hunstman.
Looks awesome~~~~

Really like this aesthetic, industrial looks always fit gamer products imo
Another Razer product I can not use at work due to the onboard memory. Glad I got the BW Chroma V2 when I did, worth the higher price over this replacement. Hope Razer plans a "Pro" version without the memory and with a return of the macro buttons.
Anybody tried out the lighting profiles without Synapse? I cant install Synapse on my corporate machine. Can we change to static colors?

Not sure about the lighting profiles, but if your corporate machine has limitations on USB memory devices you are allowed to connect this keyboard maybe a problem since they've added internal memory. I know I cannot use this one at work.

You're lucky so that you can bring your own devices to your work.
At mine it's forbidden because due to protection rules.
And it's quite understable, i mean that even it a product like an e-smoke or some basic keyboards aren't mean to have onboard memory and so can't threat the system, it's impossible to know if it's not an disguised infected memory.

BW chroma v2 can change lighting without synapse?
