Razer Blackwidow 2019

Overview

Razer BlackWidow 2019 borrows all the successful components of a BlackWidow line for gaming and has a great balance between features and budget. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the BlackWidow Elite, but you’ll save $80 that you can use to grab their new Razer Basilisk Essential gaming mouse.

At the end of the day I think Razer kept the core of what has made their keyboards great for so many years and dropped some extra features to make the Razer BlackWidow a very compelling keyboard at the $119.99 price.

I've been using the Razer BlackWidow as my main keyboard for a few weeks now. The biggest thing to me is that the typing and gaming experience does not disappoint. Razer is using their Green clicky mechanical switches and I have to say these are some of...

The 2019 edition of the Razer Blackwidow ticks some boxes in its revision, but lacks what some would perceive as basic functions that are available on the majority of the competition at this price. The clicky switches, flashy lights and bright colours can't really help Razer escape from this chronic underselling of a fan-favourite.

While the device is a bit bulky and there’s some sacrifice made for comfort options, the actual feeling of using the Blackwidow is gratifying. If the comfort problems aren’t a personal issue, the price sits right for the keyboard and it saves about $50. In its class, the Blackwidow offers a bit more than the competition.
