Razer is a company that specializes in gaming peripherals and gear. Today, I will be reviewing a recent purchase of mine, the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Mechanical Gaming Keyboard 2013 (T1).

Sleek; Ergonomic Design; Responsive; Aesthetically good looking and Convenient

Quite Expensive; Sensitive (To people who haven't use a mechanical keyboard before)

Performs as advertised Keys are very slippery - to the point of causing difficulty in typing (hitting wrong key due to finger ideas slipping across tops of keys). No capability to improve brightness of illuminated keys - eventually they're not vibrant enough.

glad i bought this keyboard moving from membrane to mechanical keys makes typing alot more easier. i like the fact that this keyboard doesnt have the extra number keys and saves you space thats why i bought it its more comfortable for gaming my mouse arm doesnt have to reach as far

small; very nice looking; built very well; keys are comfortable to type on and responsive

none; review my YOJIMBO

It's actually not as loud as most people make it to be, which is definitely a plus if you're not living alone, or if you're a college student like me.

It came in the mail today with pretty decent packaging as it was protected not only with typical bubble wrap; but also a layer of pocketed air to absorb any impact from transit.

Nah, other than given that it is a 2 year old model; - Most people (myself included) do not care about this so don't let this turn you away from the product

I ' m not exactly sure why a keyboard manufacturer would want to merge mechanical - and membrane - switch technology; membrane ' s only real advantag e is its low price. Still, the Razer Ornata Chroma ($100) aims for this unusual hybrid, and while the system works fine, it offers neither the...

Good in-game performance; Convenient wrist rest; Pretty RGB lighting

Hybrid keys add nothing; Similarly priced keyboards are better

When it comes to my keyboards and mice for my PC, I am a creature of habit. I find a good quality keyboard or mouse that fits my hand, feels good to use, and performs well and I stick with it. It's a pretty rare occasion that a review item replaces one of my standard items for daily use.

At around the one hundred-pounds mark, any keyboard worth its keys is likely to be equipped with mechanical switches. Razer isn't ignorant of this fact, and the Ornata Chroma addresses the issue with an unusual take on key actuation.

I have to admit being a little hesitant about buying another Razer product after a mouse of theirs lasted less than a week. That said this keyboard was something I liked the look of and after destroying my old MadKatz with a glass of wine I took the plunge.

Razer's rubber-dome/mechanical hybrid switch is more psychological trickery than an actual revolution, but it's trickery that somehow works.

Little mechanical "click" disguises the rubber-dome underpinnings; Stylish and high-end compared to most rubber-dome keyboards; Generously padded...

As expensive as an actual mechanical keyboard; Still a rubber-dome keyboard at its core; with all the rubber-dome problems; Uneven lighting

look wise amazing

Might be pricing comparison
