The rest feels great in use: there’s plenty of padding, and while it’s unlikely to be as durable as Corsair’s plastic material, it’s a finish I much prefer. This will be covered if you opt to use the included leather-like wrist-rest, which attaches magnetically to the front of the keyboard. The matte-black finish is pretty minimalist, with a subtle illuminated logo on the front of the keyboard. Nevertheless, the BlackWidow is very well built, with a solid plastic shell that feels indestructible there aren’t any traces of flex in the body.

This results in the keyboard feeling smaller than the likes of the Corsair RGB K95 Platinum. The BlackWidow Chroma V2 is a full size RGB backlit keyboard, but while it’s quite large, the spacing between keys is slightly less generous than some rivals. Razer BlackWidow Chroma V2 – Design, Build and Features It isn’t perfect, though – and with an RRP exceeding £150, it sits alongside some very strong competition. It’s also very rich on features, with assignable macro keys, RGB lighting and passthrough for both a headphone jack and a USB port. The keyboard is very well made, and uses Razer’s bespoke key switches for a satisfying typing and gaming experience. The BlackWidow Chroma V2 is Razer’s flagship mechanical keyboard, and comes equipped with all the bells and whistles needed to please hardened PC gamers that want the best.
