Those in the know how will acknowledge the Razer BlackWidow Chroma series keyboard perform exceptionally well under any circumstances. So how do you improve on something which is already close to perfect, the company just did with a new refresh on the Razer BlackWidow Chroma V2 mechanical gaming keyboard.

Originally launched in 2010, Razer BlackWidow mechanical keyboards quickly became the world’s most popular gaming keyboard and the de facto choice of professional gamers everywhere. Razer began manufacturing its own mechanical switches in 2014 – the Razer Green and Razer Orange switch – that set benchmarks in the industry for gaming-optimized actuation and reset responsiveness and superior durability.

The V2 continues the legacy of offering the best tactile switches with the Green and Orange variants, and adds an alternative – the Razer Yellow switch. Its linear and silent design and reduced travel distance allows keys to be pressed faster than ever before. The new switch’s feel and properties are meant for FPS and MOBA players who press certain keys thousands of times over the course of a match session.

The Razer Yellow switch, like the Green and Orange switches, is rated to 80 million keystrokes, the highest mark amongst current generation mechanical switches and one that is meant to last years longer than other mechanical switch.

V2’s durability is matched by the comfort it offers. A newly included magnetic wrist rest optionally attaches to the bottom of the keyboard and helps keep gamers comfortable during marathon gaming sessions.

In-game Razer Chroma lighting profiles are also integrated into popular game titles, including “Overwatch,” “Call of Duty: Black Ops III,” “Blade and Soul” and more. These profiles can display tutorials, in-game actions and more.

Select models of the Razer BlackWidow Chroma V2 are shipping now. Pricing remains unchanged from the previous iteration. Approx RM960 and SGD 289.90
