Incredible value keyboard
I saw this go on sale and I decided to try it out as I wanted a small form factor keyboard that was black instead of the white Ducky One 2 SF that I already had, to match the mouse/pad I’m using at any given time.This keyboard is a TKL, meaning it does not have the number pad keys on the right side of the keyboard. This is great when you use a large mouse pad or have a small desk. It is marketed towards the office user, but I’m not sure why anyone would personally go out of their way to buy this for office usage as it lacks the number pad that I use at work daily. I purchased this solely for gaming and home PC usage.This keyboard comes with tactile switches which are a good compromise between red (linear) and blue (tactile). They appear to be slightly lubed from the factory and feel very smooth. It also has included orange colored o-rings for the switches if you want to lower the noise a bit, but I personally found they made the keyboard feel a bit mushy, like a traditional membrane keyboard so I opted to not use them. It also comes with a keycap puller to remove the keys to clean them or install the o-rings. Another nice touch is the typical Razer stickers that they include with all of their products.My main keyboard prior to purchasing this was a Ducky One 2 SF, but with Cherry MX Brown switches. This uses Razer’s “Orange” switches, which are a Brown equivalent. I’m fairly certain that they are made by Kailh, but labeled “Razer”. The Ducky I use is a very vibrant, full RGB. The Blackwidow Lite only comes with white LEDs, but I’m fine with it for the price. For some odd reason, my Caps Lock key is brighter and a bit more yellow than the other keys, especially when I lower the brightness on the rest of the keys. You can adjust the brightness without the optional Razer Synapse software, which I try to avoid whenever possible. The Caps Lock key will also light up green when it is pressed.While I prefer the Ducky in terms of feel and looks, this is a great alternative for half the price (The Razer is on sale for $60 at my time of writing this review). There are no major QC issues and everything feels very solid with its understated looks. I highly recommend this keyboard for the price.UPDATE 10-4-20: This keyboard is still going strong, and I am using it to write this update. No issues or wear to report.

Not silent but noticeably quieter than the green switches and still feels great to use.
I used a regular Black Widow Chroma for years before switching to this one. I use it primarily for gaming so I like the feedback and feel of a mechanical keyboard but I wanted something quieter.While this is definitely not silent, it is noticeably quieter than the green switches. I took to the feel of the orange switches immediately with no issue as they really do have a pleasant feel in my opinion. They still give satisfying feedback with each key press despite feeling different so it was easy to swap to this one without feeling like anything was lost between the two. If you’re looking for something truly silent, this is not it, but there’s an obvious difference compared to the green switches.This tenkeyless one doesn’t have the USB port on the side like the normal one and I do miss that but I knew this upon buying it. The power cord is a very ample length though; my tower is several feet away from my desk and there is cord to spare.The RGB lighting is stellar and each key can be individually programmed to any color you can think of. With Razer Synapse, you can save multiple profiles that are easy to switch between and the level of customization you get is almost overwhelming because there is just so much you can do. You can set it to stay on the color(s) you want or pick one of many light patterns and also change the brightness. I think Synapse is quite user friendly and I was able to easily figure out how to do everything I wanted with it just by playing around with it a little on my own.I’ve never used a wrist pad before but this came with one so I tried it out. It’s magnetic and snaps right on and stays securely but I really disliked using it. It’s nicely padded but I felt it raised my wrist a little too high for it to feel natural during use. Luckily it isn’t built in so I just easily removed it and simply don’t use it.After weeks with this, I’m extremely happy with it. It’s in perfect condition and I have no issues with any keys sticking or anything like that. I had my previous Razer keyboard for many years and it’s still going strong. I only switched because I wanted a smaller and quieter one and I’ve seen nothing at so far that would make me doubt this one’s longevity.

El primer teclado de Razer que adquiero, lo compré con descuento y puedo decir que por los 3k mxn que costaron, vale la pena, tengo la versión de orange switches y creo que el nivel de ruido que tienen es bastante bueno (no llegan al punto de incomodar y con audifonos no escuchas el tecleo) tiene una buena intensidad de color con el RGB y sobre todo el macro que puedes hacer con respecto a la combinación de colores y patrones es muy intuitivo, las teclas especiales como el hypershift que trae por software la verdad no lo he tocado porque no lo ocupo, pero en general es un buen teclado, el reposa muñecas es casi indispensable porque es un teclado bastante alto que puede llegar a cansar, si lo ves en descuento, no lo pienses y aprovecha, pero por su precio original hay mejores opciones de la marca y con más prestaciones.

Pretty tactile and good

Teclado muito bom, porém, depois de um determinado tempo uma switch deu problema e para efetuar a troca é muito trabalhoso e nada pratico ainda mais pelo fato de precisar retirar a solda interna dele, perde muito nessa questão em relação a outras marcas que facilitam muito mais a troca dos switches.

¿Qué opino de este teclado?En pocas palabras es un teclado de lo tiene todo en excelencia, me gusta su estética, me gusta su tacto de switches (yellow switches), el tiempo de respuesta, la profundidad de desplazamiento, la sensación totalmente limpia y satisfactoria de escritura, el reposamuñecas es tan cómodo y práctico con que sea removible con magnetismo, es un teclado elegante con la ventaja gamer, por el precio que lo conseguà (1600$ pesos mexicanos) es la mejor compra en cuanto a periféricos que he hecho, este teclado es perfecto en todo sentido, su brillo RGB es bastante potente, el switch es excelente y sus keycaps son suaves, no es muy ruidoso si buscas un teclado discreto en cuanto a sonido al escribir se refiere. Su construcción y materiales son bastantes robustos, me da la sensación de que me durará 4 años, y eso sólo para tener que cambiarle las keycaps por unas de PBT doble inyección del mismo Razer quizá.Es en mi opinión un teclado 3B y un EndGame. Con este teclado puedes finalizar la búsqueda de otro.

I’m a tech enthusiast and I use my keyboards for typing primarily rather than gaming and I do type quite a bit. My daily driver is a full size HyperX Aqua (tactile) and I use a HyperX Mini Red too. The HyperX Aqua is amazing but the volume is a little loud so I’ve been transitioning to linear.I bought the Blackwindow TE Chroma V2 with the yellow (linear) switches. They are linear, very slightly scratchy (not a bad thing), and not as quiet as my HyperX Reds (with a fairly different sound – heavier sounding). The actuation feels quick versus the HyperX reds and it is easy to make typing errors although the speed feels really nice because of that close actuation point. The sound is fairly satisfying and not ideal for a “quiet” workspace as there is still a very decent amount of noise (less than the HyperX Aqua but not by much). I type fairly quickly (about 60 words per minute) and I strike the keys with some force so it certainly emphasizes the noise on this board. The stock ABS keycaps are really cheap feeling but I liked the yellow switches enough to want to keep the board so I swapped the keycaps to the Razer PBT Keycaps Upgrade set and it now looks and feels very premium. The upgraded keycaps have a nice textured feel. The plastic board material and micro-usb (rather than usb-c) are cheap points but the overall experience is really nice.I needed a smaller board for my workstation because I’ve got my laptop on the same desk so that factored in for me but a full sized HyperX Aqua (tactile) is still my first choice for a keyboard and the HyperX Reds feel smoother than the Razer Yellows but the Yellows actuate a little quicker and thus feel a little faster.I really like the board and with a simple keycap swap (about an hour of work to do that), you’ll have a very solid board on your hands.
