Starting with the BlackWidow Ultimate, Razer moved from Cherry MX mechanical switches to its own Razer Mechanical Switches, which have shorter actuation (the distance the key travels before triggering a keystroke) and reset (the distance the key travels on the way back up before it registers another keystroke. Razer claims to have over 16.8 million color options that you can customize in your keyboard (thus the 'Chroma' in the name). You can select certain colors for certain keys, or let the colors wave across the keyboard. Once you install the necessary software on your PC to run the keyboard, you can set up custom profiles, such as specific color schemes and macro settings for different games.Ĭustomizable, colored backlighting is one big way Razer differentiates the BlackWidow Tournament Edition Chroma from earlier portable Razer keyboards we've reviewed.

It's similar in design to the 2012 Razer BlackWidow Tournament Edition, except as soon as you plug it in, you notice the waving colors on the backlit keys. It also comes with a black carrying case. Design and FeaturesThe BlackWidow Tournament Edition Chroma measures 14.4 by 6.06 by 1.18 inches (HWD) and weighs slightly more than two pounds, making it easy to take along for tournament play and LAN parties.
