The Razer BlackWidow Tournament Edition features the award-
winning Razer™ Mechanical Switches that have been designed from
the ground up with the aim of elevating the speed and responsiveness
of the Razer BlackWidow gaming keyboard beyond the capabilities of
current-gen mechanical switches.
Tested and validated by the world’s top esports athletes, we have
identified the optimal actuation distance and reduced the tolerance for
faster commands and greater precision when compared to standard
mechanical switches.
Now with Razer Chroma customizable backlighting, this gaming icon
is raising the bar once again by introducing individually controlled
multi-color backlit keys that allow for extreme customization. Bearing
the distinct Razer BlackWidow design, the Razer BlackWidow
Tournament Edition Chroma V2 gives you the unbridled freedom to
truly express yourself, not just with an impressive spectrum of colors
but with personalized lighting controls as well.
