Razer’s Blackwidow Chroma V2 is a subtle and solid refresh of its flagship keyboard

Razer continues its “V2” updates to its product line, and the latest to get this treatment is its popular Blackwidow mechanical gaming keyboard.

Looking at the $170 Blackwidow Chroma V2 keyboard from the outside, you won’t see much that’s new. But Razer has included its own mechanical switches this time around, added a wrist rest, and shored up the quality. That’s probably not enough to convince you to upgrade from your current Blackwidow, but you should consider this keyboard if you’re looking to upgrade from that crappy membrane-based device that came with the eMachine you bought from Best Buy.
