I've used other RGB keyboards with a similar setting, but I thought this particular preset was really impressive. You'll find the usual assortment of color wave, breathing, and static presets, but my personal favorite is the “fire” preset. The RGB lighting is bright-you can adjust brightness with a Function key press, too-and looks fantastic. Most higher-end keyboards now include a dedicated volume roller and media keys, which makes adjusting the volume a lot easier while gaming.Īs you might expect from a keyboard with Chroma in its name, the lightshow put on by the V2 is excellent. You can also record macros on-the-fly by using a Function-based keypress, and while that's nice, assigning media and volume keys to the Function keys is a misstep. I would have also liked to see a different texture on the macro keycaps, similar to the Corsair K95 Platinum, so I could differentiate them without looking down. They work well enough and are easily programmable, but they are a bit close to the left side of the basic keys and can lead to some accidental presses. Michelle Rae UyOn the left side of the Chroma V2 are a set of five macro keys. Clicks are a fun part of mechanical keyboards for many people, though, so I didn't mind a bit of clacking. They're more quiet than a typewriter, maybe, but they're still noisy. Of course, it's a matter of personal preference. The loss of tactile feeling caused some serious typos in my case. For typing, some people-myself included-may find the distance just a little too short. The keys move up and down quickly with only a 1.2mm actuation point which is the same as Cherry MX Speed. With a keystroke somewhere between Cherry MX Reds and Cherry MX Speed switches, the Razer yellow switches are smooth and super fast. Razer advertises its yellow switches as being “linear and silent” and, well, that's half true. Under the fairly straightforward matte-black keycaps you'll find per-key RGB lighting and Razer's yellow switches. Overall, the Chroma V2 feels like it's sturdy enough to weather a serious beating the build quality is excellent. Pulling the board out of the box, there's a noticeable weight to it thanks to an understated metal deck. While the Chroma V2 is certainly a serious investment at around $170, it's worth it.ĭesign and FeaturesThe Blackwidow Chroma V2 is a full-size, "everything but the kitchen sink" type of gaming keyboard.
Razer offers the keyboard with three different flavors of proprietary switches, but for this review I'm taking a look at the less-clicky and more linear yellow option.
