Razer Blackwidow Chroma V2 Yellow Review More Gaming, Less Typing. With the debut of Razers new linear yellow keyboard switches, one of the gaming est keyboards going gets a lot gamier. Its a board for playing, not so much for typing. H.jpg' alt='Andromeda Season 1 Online Free' title='Andromeda Season 1 Online Free' />Razers Blackwidow line has been carving out spots in best mechanical gaming keyboard lists for years now. And why not Its got a striking look, its all sorts of programmable, its got USB and audio pass through and some of the finest RGB lighting in the business, if youre into that sort of thing. Introduced in January of this year, the Blackwidow Chroma V2 is all of that with a free wrist rest and a move from the horrible proprietary Razer font an upside down L is not an R to something nice and legible. The other big change that came with the Blackwidow V2 is the introduction of a third color of Razer key switch. Theyve had the clicky greens and the tactile oranges Tactile Oranges is the name of my REM cover band. Now we have the linear yellow switches, smooth keys with short actuation points. Heres Razers clicky green switch. Comparable to Cherry MX blue switches, when the key is pressed the slider encounters brief resistance before snapping free, creating the clicking noise. Tactile keys, like the Razer orange or Cherry MX browns feature the bump without the snap, providing a bump that is more felt than heard. Instead of a pronounced bump, a linear switchs slider is sloped, providing increasing resistance as the key is pressed as opposed to a click or bump. While this makes linear switches quieter in general, the lack of feedback also means its easier to bottom the key out, leading to even more noise. Linear switches are favored for gaming, as the lack of resistance makes it easier to repeat key presses. They arent great for typing, as the lack of resistance makes it easier to repeat key presses. Razers yellow switches are most comparable to Cherry MX silver speed switches. They feature a shorter actuation point that most standard switches 1. Razer Mechanical Switches with 4.

Gaming mode option. USB pass through. Hz Ultrapolling. Braided fiber cable. Price 1. 69. 9. Whats Great About It. The Switches Are Nice With a feel thats somewhere between Cherry MX reds and blacks, the switches have a very nice play to them. Smooth and never scratchy, though I do get a little bit of spring noise from time to time. Not enough to drive me insane, but enough to remind me that springs are a thing. The yellows are fast and responsive. Depending on what you are doing they can almost be too fast and responsive, but for gaming purposes theyre just fine. Its A Nice, Solid Board The Razer Blackwidow Chroma V2 will not crumble apart in your hands when you touch it, even if you touch it very hard. If it does crumble apart, then youve touched it too hard. Stop touching things so hard. All The Programmable Stuff You want macro keys Youve got five dedicated macro keys. You want to create custom profiles tied to particular programs and save them on the cloud so you can download them to whatever computer you are playing on Knock yourself out. Razers Synapse software is some of the friendliest in the gaming keyboard market. That Chroma Lighting I mean, we have to talk about the Chroma lighting, right You wouldnt get a keyboard called the Blackwidow Chroma without the lighting being a concern. Its quite nice. All the colors, all the modes, different brightness settings. More and more games are coming out with custom Chroma settings that use keyboard lights to enhance the gaming experience, which is fun. Why buy an expensive set of replacement keycaps when you can completely customize the color of every light on every key Because buying keycap sets is awesome, thats why. Still, you can do this. Free Wrist Rest Not just a free wrist rest, but a free wrist rest with a fuax leather feel thats quite comfortable and attaches to the front of the system with magnets so you dont have to bother with little plastic hook bits. I know, real keyboard enthusiasts dont need magnets. Kuroko No Basuke Season 1 Episode 2 more. I type violently. I can use the help. Whats Not So Great. Everyday Typing I was on the fence about linear switches for typing before using the Razer Blackwidow Chroma V2 with yellow switches for a week and a half. I like the feel, but my typing tends to go out the window due to the lack of feedback. Coupled with the shorter actuation distance of the yellow switches, my error rate has gone through the roof, sending me running back to more tactile keys like Razers orange switches. This Damn Cable I do appreciate USB and audio pass through, especially on a gaming keyboard. Headset, mouse, done. But when I need a cable at least three times the thickness of a normal braided cable to do that, maybe not. I am not saying they should do away with the feature completely. Maybe make the cable detachable and give the option of using the pass through feature or not. The keyboard cable is the most prominent thing on my desk next to the keyboard itself, and it annoys the hell out of me. Customization. The Razer yellow switches, like all the Razer switches, feature the same cross shaped stem as all the Cherry MX style switches, so the sky is the limit as far as keycap choices go. The bottom row features a 6. The only thing to worry about is the five macro keys along the side. Maybe get some blanks for those. Or maybe some nice artisans. Oh, and if I were you I would go for shine through keys. Youre paying for that Chroma, you might as well get the most out of it. Final Thoughts. The Blackwidow Chroma V2 is a fine gaming keyboard, packed with the essential and non essential features gamers look for in a means to feel superior to people exclusively using gamepads. The question is which switch to pick for your purposes. As a person who writes about video games and snacks for a living, I require a combination of fast and accurate typing and enough gaming performance so it looks like I vaguely know what I am doing. Thats Razer oranges or MX browns. The Razer yellow switch is built for people who turn on their computer to play games and then turn it off when they are done. Or just leave it on and walk away to get a sandwich. They arent composing soliloquies, or if they are they are using a quill and parchment like a civilized person. The New Systems Commonwealth Wiki.
