to install Razer Synapse to get the most out of the BlackWidow Chroma V2.

The cherry on top is the USB passthrough on board the Chroma V2, allowing any user to plug in their USB mouse directly into the board instead of their computer. To install a chroma profile open Razer Synapse and follow the picture guide. As with all enthusiast boards of this price range, a total of five programmable macro keys have been included to do with as the user desires. While I despise every wrist rest packaged in mechanical keyboards due to their uncomfortable plastic construction, Razer actually included ergonomic soft padding this time around, something I hope becomes an industry standard. While the original Blackwidow displayed its metal plate in full glory, the Chroma V2 replaces the top cover with a smudge resistant hard plastic cover. Coming in at a weighty 3.31 lbs, the Razer Blackwidow Chroma V2 is built to take all levels of abuse and punishment a user could throw at it. The Razer Synapse software is also a great control centre for all of Razer’s compatible products, giving me the ability to easily set up multiple profiles, effects and lights to cater to the game I was playing at the time.Īll of this sounds great, but some readers may be thinking this doesn’t add up to a board worth $230 yet, so let’s talk about the build and features. Each house-made key is bright and powerful, giving the user the ability to discern even the slightest difference in shades. Because of how traditional cherry mx switches are made, the illumination on many keyboards can come out subdued or lacking in brightness, but Razer boards don’t have this issue.

While the range of effects and colours are nothing new to any RGB expert, I love how Razer’s boards illuminate.

It wouldn’t be a Chroma product if the Blackwidow V2 didn’t spew out the 16.8 million colour spectrum we have come to love from RGB products.
