![]() Because the top-mounted LEDs can only illuminate the top portion of the keycaps, Razer has made the bottom half of the keycaps opaque.Ĭoming in at $160, the Razer BlackWidow X Chroma undercuts the flagship BlackWidow Chroma by just $10. Other than that, it can still be configured to display a dazzling array of 16.8 million different colors. The brightness of the Chroma backlighting has been dialed back a notch so it no longer projects a rainbow on your ceiling. A slew of lighting patterns is available as well. ![]() For gamers looking to bring the keyboard to LAN tournaments, Synapse can create a custom install of the driver with all of the settings saved. Up to 10 profiles of macros can be programmed with the macro editor and stored on the PC. Razer pairs all of its peripherals with its Razer Synapse software. Being one of Razer’s premium products, we wonder if these sacrifices are too much to bear. Just like all the other keyboards in the BlackWidow line, the BlackWidow X Chroma still lacks some much-needed dedicated media controls and USB pass-throughs. It’s quite NKRO, but it didn’t bother us in the least. The 10-key rollover anti-ghosting matrix on the BlackWidow X Chroma can handle up to 15 simultaneous keypresses without a hitch. That’s more than the Cherry MX’s 50 million or the Logitech Romer-G’s 70 million. On the upside, Razer’s Green switches are tested to 80 million keystrokes.

The particular sets of stabilizers on the BlackWidow X are well-greased and quick. We’re glad to see Costar stabilizers installed under the larger keys. This is especially problematic if you need to repeatedly press the same key. Because the bump acts as an extra resistance point, it can cause the switch to rebound slower. While the tactile bump is great for typing, it may get in the way of gaming. ![]()
