Razer BlackWidow TE Chroma v2 TKL Tenkeyless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard: Green Key Switches, Tactile & Clicky, Chroma RGB Lighting, Magnetic Wrist Rest, Programmable Macros, Classic Black

I'll type this review exactly as it comes out of my keyboard:br>br>I bought this product because I like smaller keyboards with good switches, as well as lighted keyboards. Although the lighting is excellent and the keyboard has a pleasant "clickyness," there are some serious issues with keys sticking and remaining stuck for an extended period of time; this appears to be random and does not occur consistently from key to key. Despite multiple attempts to fix this by upgrading Synapse (Razer's driver software) and contacting support (running through their futile attempts to fix it), it continues to happen over and over again, causing major issues in competitive gaming (as well ass doing any sort of coding). You'll either dodge for longer or appear to do something you shouldn't do at random. Asssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss you can see from There doesn't appear to be a solid fix for it, and Synapse has been in beta for years, so I don't expect a keyboard fix any time soon. So, in my opinion, serious gamers and developers should avoid this product, as well as most Razerr keyboards. br>br>NOTE: if you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, this is the place to be Except for spelling corrections, this review has remained unchanged. The repeated keys you see are typing at a normal speed on the keyboard; imagine how it would be if you were gaming or writing code. To say the least, it's pathetic. br>br>UPDATE 04/16/2020: RRazerr contacted me to ask for assistance in fixing the keyboard (following this review). However, after I contacted them about my problem, they responded with a "tiicket" from their ticketing system, and they never contacted me again after I added more information. As you can see, I'm still using the same keyboard and experiencing the same issue (I haven't been able to find a newer keyboard to replace this POS).

I've had the keyboard for three months and have encountered a number of issues with it. Some keys double up (for example, I press R twice), while others are completely missing (for example, I press E and there is no E). br>br>Because of this sporadic behavior, I would strongly advise against purchasing this keyboard; I am extremely dissatisfied. br>br>Edited on 1/5/19: It appears that the situation has deteriorated. Some key presses are now being tripled. I'm looking forward to receiving my new keyboard, which I ordered to replace this one.

To use with my Mac, I needed a mechanical keyboard. Razer was one of the few manufacturers whose software driver appeared to be well-suited to OSX. Unfortunately, despite the fact that the keyboard is very comfortable and responsive, it constantly flakes out (I have a friend who uses it with his Mac and has the same problems). br>br>At least half a dozen times a day, a random key will stick and repeat itself, or pressing keys will result in special characters being sent to the terminal instead of the intended characters, and so on. and the only way to stop it is to unplug and re-plug the usb cable. I thought it would be something I could live with at first, but it happens far too frequently and is extremely inconvenient. br>br>I do not recommend this keyboard for use with a Mac. br>br>For the record, I use a MacBook Pro from 2015.

I tested for 6 hours in Fortnite today, and the key clicks are extremely satisfying and quick. I don't have any pain in my wrists or hands. Razor has a bad reputation for being flimsy. I'm hoping for the best. br>br>Just in case you didn't know - The palm rest is nothing short of a dream come true.

I have three others that I bought on Amazon that were off brands (to save money) and have died over time. Around three years ago, I began using 10keyless or minimalist boards. It was four years ago today. Soft touch keyboards for servers in racks were the first, but gamer keyboards like this one have become more popular recently. I started with systems in the early 1980s and love the tacit feel of the original PC/AT mechanical keyboards of the time, probably because I learned to type on one. This is arguably the best keyboard on the market at the time with consistent and reliable key feel.

The quiet keys on this keyboard are advertised as a selling point, but they aren't that quiet. They are, in fact, as loud as, if not louder than, any other keyboard I've ever used. To their credit, Razer's website includes a sound sample of the keyboard-- Tell me that's considered quiet after listening to that. Second, none of the secondary key functions ($, @, %, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and so forth) become visible; If you're a good typist, this isn't a big deal, but if you're like me and have a brain fart late at night and can't remember which key is used for which secondary key function, you're out of luck. Apart from those two flaws, it's a fantastic keyboard, with the ability to program chroma configurations and game macros being a huge plus. And, yes, it's quite lovely to look at, and it colors in perfect harmony with my Razer mouse. If you want a gaming keyboard that goes above and beyond, look no further. If you're like me and were drawn here by The Wirecutter reviews, get this or the other model with the numpad, or splurge on the third model with truly quiet keys if that's important to you.
