The BlackWidow Chroma is a great keyboard overall, and an easy recommendation for gamers in almost every genre. It offers responsive typing, robust software and just enough macro keys in a fairly compact design. The most exciting aspect of this $170 peripheral is that you can customize its colors any way you like. Sure, it’s $70 more than the BlackWidow Ultimate, but gamers who care about style as much as substance will be very happy with this keyboard.
If you’re familiar with the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2014, you’re familiar with the Razer BlackWidow Chroma. The dimensions and weight are identical: 18.7 x 6.7 inches and 3.31 pounds. For reference, the similar Corsair Gaming K70 RGB is 18.6 x 8.3 inches, and the Logitech G910 Orion Spark is 19.9 x 8.3 inches. If you want a full-size gaming keyboard and desk space is at a premium, the BlackWidow Chroma is the way to go.
