Cons: lighting cannot be changed, only one colour
Pros: best keyboard in the market I have tried so far Comment:
Very responsive mechanical keyboard. Key layout and positioning is perfect. Keyboard itself is heavy weighted. Macro keys are at a very convenient position for better gaming experience. I also appreciate the backing light dimmer and power function and also the media keys are really nice as well. Overall I really enjoy this keyboard, it is a great product at a decent price. |

Cons: F1 key still not placed beside EscPlastic caps still not glued in well, (can manually crazy glue to fix)
Pros: Great FinishGreat experience for typing Comment:
Much better then the 2012 version, the finish is much better. The f1 key still isn't where I want it, and the plastic caps still fall out but can be crazy glued in to fix (happened in 2012 version as well). Overall still a great keyboard |

Cons: Could bug when updated with synapse 2.0 with the new hardware.
Pros: Great feeling on the keys, the lighting is very good and durable. Comment:
What I like about this keyboard is the fact that it is durable and performant. In fact, when I am playing games, I want a keyboard that is able to fulfill any of my needs such as macros and lighting so I can play at night. The Razer Blackwidow Ultimate has all these features and you can use it for quite a good while if you take care of it. |

Cons: Nothing that I can see.
Pros: The backlighting is perfect and these keys are a pleasure to work with and game with. Comment:
I bought this keyboard to replace my last logitech G15 which replaced a G11, both of which died pretty much after a few years of gaming. I'm expecting this keyboard to last longer and I never miss a stroke. |

Cons: None
Pros: -Matches my case and mouse-Backlit Mech keyboard-Love the clickety clack-Despite being somewhat overpriced sometimes, Razer does support the gaming community so kudos to them-Perfect placement of the USB port-Types beautifully-Can adjust the backlights brightness-Function buttons gives the keyboard lots of extra features without looking ugly-Great price Comment:
One of the best purchases I've ever made. I never believed in the whole mech keyboard movement until I tried it. The feel of the keys and typing is just amazing. Can't believe the difference it has over my old Logitech G15. |

Cons: Pricey
Pros: CustomizableMechanicalBraided CableUSB, headset ports Comment:
First of all, mechanical keyboards will always be better, and the cherry blue switches installed on this keyboard do the job extremely well. Cherry blue switches are clicky and responsive which is the thing I expect from a mechanical keyboard. The degree of customization that you can acheive with this keyboard is pretty awesome and the build quality is outstanding (like any Razer product) The finish is matte, which compared to other keyboards is a great plus, since a glossy finish is just a fingerprint magnet. This keyboard is easy to clean and it is extremely well built. Would buy again without question. |

Cons: There is not a single thing i don't like about this keyboard.
Pros: Mechanical, awesome feedback, synapse, great durability, super heavy. Comment:
I love this keyboard, it goes great with my deathadder 2013. Super durable and just awesome. I love mechanical keyboards, I've modded the LED's in some of the keys and swapped out the keys for Cherry MX Translucent keys and it looks amazing.I recommend this keyboard to anyone who likes the mechanical feel. |

Cons: for me , too many cabos( no need sound connection), little expensive
Pros: very comfortable keyboard, good finishing Comment:
bought it long time, start using now, the strength of the key is good enough, back light, is good, but not so exciting,when I bought on sales, is a fair price, but compare with the coolermaster mechanical keyboard, it is a little more expensive, but is better than coolermaster's |

Cons: Heavy, keys are loud (can be a bad thing),pricey, had a chip in the very corner of the keyboard (could be packaging or keyboard itself),can't change key colour for backlighting, stuff can get stuck between the keys, hard to remove keys (to clean)
Pros: Everything but the cons Comment:
Got it at a NCIX store and on sale, there was some stuff stuck between the keys like hair that probably came from the try-me hole in the box, |

Cons: -Would have like to see the mic/audio plugs have a built in splitter so that I could also plug this in while my speakers are plugged in-$140 is a bit much
Pros: -Cherry MX blues-Very bright LED's can be toned down or pulsate-Perfect typing angle-Strong rubber feet-almost no flex to the keyboard-matte finish is nice-Cool font for the keys-Synapse 2.0 is nice so far Comment:
I have owned this keyboard for a mere few hours, and being my first switch from membrane to cherry keys, I love it. The MX blues are quite loud, but I like hearing it. Not too heavy like MX blacks, it is perfect. The LED's look great and match the LED's in my computer. Easy to access media controls, and in Synapse every key can do whatever you want it to do. For example, one of my profiles turns the 5 macro keys into numbers 6 though 0 for MMO's, while my second profile leaves them as recordable macro keys. $140 is a bit of money for this keyboard, but I got it on sale :)Over all, great keyboard! In fact, one of the only gamer - oriented MX blue keyboards out there! |

Cons: bad usb connectivity , glossy finish , loud as f*** !, consider buying logitech G710+ before this one.
Pros: cherry mx blue mechanical keys , Comment:
i ve own razer keyboard for the last 3 year and my last one was this one. it lasted me 5 month ( intense gaming ), sometime it would loose its connectivity in the middle of a game. it also gets dirty prety quick because of the glossy finish.I recently bought a logitech G710+ and i would never go back to razer. overalll id only recommend this keyboard if it was on sale for 50bucks. |

Cons: - Loud. But these are Cherry MX Blues, what did you expect?- Glossy surfaces always attract dust and fingerprints
Pros: - Satisfying tactile feedback (audible 'click')- Very solid build quality- Backlight keys with varying brightness Comment:
I bought this back in 2011 from NCIX when it was new and it's still typing like a champ. I realize there have been some updates, but there are very few discernible differences, if any, between the old one and the 2013 version.Regardless, the way the keys feel and sound when you type on them is so incredibly satisfying. I own a Logitech G710+, which is pretty good on its own merits, but its build quality and tactile feedback can't hold a candle to the BlackWidow.I find the USB and audio in/out pass-through ports to be pretty useful as well as the 'Game mode' you can set, which basically disables the Windows key so you don't mash it during an uninterruptible game. There are also 5 macro keys for custom key combinations, but I've never cared for them. But maybe you will.Onto the negatives: this keyboard is LOUD. If you live with other people, it could get irritating. Unless they are cool people. The glossy surfaces also attract dust and fingerprints like you wouldn't believe.Overall, excellent keyboard. Would buy again. |

Cons: None.
Pros: Very solidLooks grateMedia KeysPerfect layout Comment:
It's a very solid keyboard and I would recommend it to anyone. |
So far I like ir. I like the feedback when i type with it . The only negative thing about this keyboard is synapse which can either be a good or bad experience depending on how much time u want to invest into it . I got it for a good price so price wasnt a problem for me. Overall, I'm satisfied so far. I'll probably be redoing another review in a few monthsProbably not the best out there but I would buy again until the ducky keyboards price start dropping.
