In fact, none of Razer’s keyboards feature detachable USB cables. The braided USB cable is permanently attached to the keyboard, which is an odd choice in a compact “tournament” style keyboard. Not so-while Kailh is Razer’s primary keyboard switch manufacturer, they’re built to Razer’s design and specs. Razer’s switches are manufactured by Kailh, causing some gamers to assume that they’re just re-branded Kailh switches (which are generally cheaper and inferior to Cherry MX). So it’s not like this durability advantage makes a practical difference.
Razer’s switches are rated for 80 million actuations, compared to 50 million for Cherry MX, but you’d have to press a key 10,000 times a day, every single day, for over 13 years to get to even 50 million actuations. They feel and sound almost identical to Cherry MX Blue, with nearly the same actuation force, travel distance, actuation point, and reset distance. The key switches are Razer’s own proprietary “Green” switches, which are the “tactile and clicky” version. I tend to prefer the exposed flat deck style, as it’s easier to clean out dust and debris and the lighting is easier to see.
Such is the case with all of Razer’s “X” model keyboards, while their other keyboards have the keys recessed into a keyboard tray with the deck surrounding them. Kevin Lee + 1 moreThe switches are embedded into a flat, metal, exposed deck, with the key caps rising above. It’s a sort of rough, angular, industrial-chic design.
It’s got a flat metal keyboard deck with angled front and rear edges, with a little cutout for the Razer logo. All in all it's a smaller version of the company's BlackWidow X with RGB lighting.ĭesign and FeaturesIf you’ve used any of Razer’s other keyboards, you’ll know what to expect from the general design of the BlackWidow X TE Chroma. The BlackWidow X Tournament Edition Chroma (See it on Amazon) / (See it on Amazon UK) takes Razer’s compact tenkeyless design (that’s the Tournament Edition part), has a flat deck with keys on top (that’s the “BlackWidow X” part), and incorporates fully programmable RGB lighting (that’s the Chroma part). These are distinguished from its larger keyboards with the label “Tournament Edition ” the idea being that these smaller keyboards are easier to lug around to LAN parties and tournaments, and they take up less desk real-estate so you’re not bumping into the guy playing next to you while also allowing more room for mousing. Razer is no stranger to the high-end mechanical keyboard market, so of course it offers a few tenkeyless models.
