Here is a pretty in depth review of the 2019 Blackwidow from Razer.The packaging - Very nice unboxing experience, even for one of the cheapest Razer products. A solid box with a plastic cover and nice closed-cell foam protecting each end of the keyboard. Initial impressions were good, this is one heavy keyboard; not surprising though considering it is a mechanical keyboard with a metal back.The build - Although the shell of the keyboard is an all plastic construction, the build is very solid with little to no deckflex. The material also prevents fingerprint marks. The feet on the underside of the keyboard have two settings to get the angle just right - although they do the job, they do seem a little flimsy.Being a cheaper keyboard from Razer, there is no included wrist rest in the box. There is also no dedicated media keys like you will find on most other keyboards from Razer. The cable is also a good length at just under 6 feet and is a nice braided design. There are various slots on the back of the keyboard to route the cable in different directions to help with cable management.Key switched/ caps - I have used lots of different key switch types in the past but the Razer green key switch on this keyboard has to be my favourite by far. It is very similar to the Cherry MX Blue switch although has a slightly actuation point at just 1.9 mm. The sound of both the 'click' and the switch bottoming out are very nice. Although both this switch and the Cherry MX Blue require a 50g actuation force, I would say that the Razer Green's tactile bump is a little smoother which leads to a better typing experience. SInce the green switches on this keyboard are the second revision, the stabilisation wall leads to less keycap wobble and makes the switched less prone to dust and moisture damage. However, this does prevent you from fitting o-rings if you wanted to. The keycaps are made from ABS plastic with no coating but the texture is very nice and smooth and contains precise cutouts for the RGB lighting. A 60 million click life span is also a nice extra 10 million compared to Cherry's switches.RGB - With full individual key RGB backlighting, this keyboard certainly does shine. The brightness is very nice and RGB Razer logo positioned on the base of the keyboard is a nice touch. The Razer Synapse software is also an incredibly advanced, allowing for just about every effect you could possibly want. Integration with Phillips Hue and some game titles such as Overwatch and Fortnite is a nice addition.Conclusion timePros -Nice packagingGreat build qualityGreat switches and keycapsNice cableGreat lighting and softwareCons -No wristrestNo dedicated media keysNo wrist rest keycap puller in the boxCan't fit o-ringsOverall, considering the price at just £57, it's difficult to say no. If you don't need dedicated media keys or a wrist rest (you could always pick up a third party one) I'm sure you will have no problem using this keyboard. If you are looking to get your first mechanical keyboard, this is a great choice as these key switches are a great introduction to the world of mechanical keyboards. Considering you can pay £200 or more for a similar keyboard, why buy any other.
