The iconic gaming keyboard that needs no introduction—this is the Razer BlackWidow Elite: http://rzr.to/BlackWidowElite



It starts with the switch—Green, Orange, Yellow.

We’ve improved the Razer Mechanical Switches with the addition of dual side walls for greater stability and bonus armor against dust and liquids. Throw in the 80 million keystroke life span and you’ve got yourself a winning formula.



Rejoice! Dedicated media controls are here.

Even before the launch of the Razer Huntsman, YOU, the community has continued to lust for dedicated media keys on the BlackWidow line. The all-new BlackWidow sports a brand-new look along with the addition of a multi-function digital dial and dedicated media keys. Oh did we mention that we’re keeping the fan-favorite plush leatherette wrist rest too?

Unlock true gaming potential with Hypershift.

Unlock an arsenal of killer combos using Razer Hypershift—you can rebind each key to the skill of your choice or record multiple keystrokes into macros for any situation.

Our flagship mechanical gaming keyboard is back, and even better: http://rzr.to/BlackWidowElite

Blackwidow without 5 macro key buttons at right side.... No!!

Right? The macro keys were a 'key' deciding factor in my purchase of the Black Widow.

I have bought this keyboard and having problems to use the drivers.. I can use the keyboard, but Razer software and drivers doesn't recognize it.

EDIT: I have installed another Razer Synapse version, version 3, and now I can configure my keyboard on it. But the app that is installed with Razer_BlackWidowUltimate_Driver_v1.05 still doesn't recognize my keyboard and closes itself.

The best keyboard! Especially with the clicky green switch.

News update - I found out that I actually prefer smaller boards for many reasons - I've ditched using all normal keyboards with numpads and moved to a 75% keyboard as my daily driver
I'm now using a Vortex Race 3 and from the looks of things I'll never go back to a large board - in reality - what's the actual use of a numpad ? just takes up extra space -
Once I tasted the freedom of a smaller board with the extra space on the right for the mouse - it's very difficult to go back -
TKL is prob the biggest I'l ever go again
Also the quality of the Vortex race 3 is on another level altogether -
ALL METAL CASE- and price $140 ish - why would I want to use a large resonant unreliable Plastic box ever again - ?
An all metal TKL from Razer would be the only thing I'd consider in the future -
I/
I'm never throwing my money away to plastic boxes ever again

Seems pretty dope, but still a little bugged to see the Macro keys are gone. Hypershift is a lot less practical and just seems like more steps to do the same thing as before.

it's an amazing board - I bought two - One with Green switches and one with Yellow switches - Love them both -
Overall best mechanical keyboards I've ever used - and I own about 10 - 4 corsair K70's with various switches and 6 Razer boards
Corsair are now all gathering dust due mainly to the rattling space bars and crappy MX rattling Stabilizers.
the bad stuff on the new Razer boards is the low quality flimsy volume control - both my boards have faulty volume wheels .
the one is scratchy and feels like it scraping against something and the other one is inaccurate and jumps all over the place - - pity that Razer chose to put lucky packet level Volume wheels on their best boards to date -
I forked out $30 and got myself a Drok - lossless volume wheel from Amazon -
Overall I'm still happy with the Blackwidow Elite boards -
My suggestion for future Razer Keyboards
1. all Metal case - top and bottom
2.High quality volume wheel
3. lose the media buttons - they belong on a DJ deck - not a keyboard - they are pure gimmick trash - but if you do decide to keep them - at least make them mechanical - use the same switches as the rest of the board - not rubber dome

Hello,

Are there any Razer Chroma compatible keycaps that have the special characters keys transparent?
I don't understand why Razer chose to make them opaque, it's a pretty big flaw when used in low lighting environment.

The Blackwidow Elite is a great keyboard and Razer finally did the Blackwidow right after all these years. I love mine! Thanks Razer!

It looks so great.. But I can't get it with CH layout in orange switches.. Why would you lose easy customers ? I find it weird not to let any customisation to your products and no way to get what people want 😕 Since I prefer Razer look and feel, i ll wait a long time to try getting one like i want, but I guess I ll have to move on to something more suitable than this great brand...

I agree, that's truly a loss for me that I can't get it in orange switches in french layout.
My bad for english mistakes but i try my best.

Yep it does! There are magnets that hold it on, it stays in place well but also easily removed.

One of the greatest improvements with the mechanical switches this last years.

Is the wrist rest removable? I need to replace my current keyboard soon,, the wires are loose inside it i think or frayed 😛 I'd like the look of the blackwidow elite, but I don't really want the wrist rest =P

I can't say 'TAKE MY MONEY' because you left off the dedicated macro keys. Fail.

Greetings!



Thank you for your insights! a little bit OT but may i ask why you retired the Lancehead in favour of the blackadder?


The reason I retired the Lancehead TE is because I prefer the shape and feel of the Deathadder Elite instead as well as the easier to press side buttons. The side buttons on the Lancehead TE is a bit harder to access with my thumb vs the Deathadder Elite's side buttons. Granted both mice used the same sensor.

I have the Razer Blackwidow Elite, Razer Deathadder Elite, and Kraken 7.1 V2 as my daily peripherals and I have no gripes or complaints about any of them. I also have a Lancehead TE that I've retired (still works fine).

I also have a Lancehead TE that I've retired (still works fine). My other Razer Peripherals that I've had in the past include the Deathadder 3.5, Blackwidow 2013 (No LED, MX Blue switch model), Razer Blackwidow Chroma V2, Razer Tiamat 2.2, and Deathadder 2013. My Deathadder 3.5 and Deathadder 2013 had double click issue on left click and the Tiamat 2.2 has a short in the volume control. So I've been using Razer products since 2011 and I have some complaints but Razer has done the Blackwidow Elite right! The Blackwidow is a nice keyboard but felt like it didn't match up to other keyboards. Before the Elite model, it lacked proper volume controls and dedicated media keys. Now Razer has finally nailed it on the head with this keyboard and I have to say kudos to Razer for doing that and finally listening to their fans after all these years of requesting dedicated volume and media controls.
