I had no trouble cruising around the map as D.Va in Overwatch, taking down hordes of monsters in The Witcher 3, or pounding the keys repeatedly to fire my abilities off at just the right second in Heroes of the Storm. The macro keys came in handy for mapping long strings of commands in Final Fantasy XIV, and I imagine they could be just as helpful for players in games like World of Warcraft or Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Like its predecessors, the keyboard is extremely comfortable and responsive across the board. I tested the BlackWidow Chroma V2 with Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Final Fantasy XIV, to see how well it performed with FPS, MOBA, RPG and MMO games, respectively. I had fun watching the keyboard change colors, depending on which Overwatch character I chose, although I doubt it will be a major selling point for anyone. This allows the keyboard itself to alert you to variables like health and ammo. Lately, Razer Chroma keyboards have offered automatic in-game lighting profiles for games like Overwatch and Call of Duty: Black Ops III. Personally, I had a blast making the whole device radiate rainbows every time I tapped a key. While it’s not quite as in-depth as what Corsair offers, you can do some impressive things with the Chroma lighting. One of the advantages to getting a Chroma keyboard is that you can either program your own color combinations or take advantage of Razer’s generous selection of preexisting patterns. You can set up profiles for individual games, control the lighting or reprogram the macro keys. By now, you know the drill: It’s clean, intuitive, easy to use and helps all of your Razer products run in sync.
Like almost every other Razer peripheral, the BlackWidow Chroma V2 runs on the Razer Synapse 2.0 software. This is not a significant difference, however, and it speaks well of the BlackWidow Chroma V2’s overall utility. On, I scored 102 words per minute with nine errors, as opposed to 104 words per minute with six errors on my everyday Logitech G810 Orion Spectrum. The BlackWidow V2 is also generally a good choice for typists. I also find it somewhat strange that Razer still insists on cumbersome keyboard shortcuts for media controls and recording macros, when companies like Logitech and Corsair have implemented much cleaner, discrete buttons. The Yellow switches are most similar to Cherry MX Blacks, and while there’s nothing quite like a real Cherry switch, they do a reasonable job replicating a Black’s linear, soft touch.įor users who prefer Greens and Oranges, they feel the same as always: comfortable, but still not quite up to Cherry standards. Razer imagines that Yellow switches may be a boon to FPS gamers, since they take so little force to actuate, and I have no real cause to object.
