For silent, do not get the idea that they are in fact silent. The Yellow Switches (the actuators responsible for the response of each key) are the quietest in the range. The version we received for analysis comes with the Yellow Switches from Razer, but there is an option to opt for the traditional Green Switches or the Orange Switches. Traditionally, Razer keyboards come with the American layout. It should be noted that the Razer BlackWidow Tournament Edition Chroma V2 has a layout in Portuguese, which does not always happen with Razer keyboards. When I made the transition to the Tournament Edition Chroma V2, the muscular memory of my fingers made me click on the wrong keys, however, the adaptation to the new format was surprisingly fast and in a matter of an hour I was hardly ever mistaking the keys. With regard to utility, it is very comfortable and makes a difference when spending long hours at the keyboard, especially in intensive games that require a lot of quick and subtle movements.Īlthough it is a subtle difference, the key spacing is slightly less. It is very easy to insert and remove the accessory. The rest, already seen on other Razer keyboards, is placed in front of the keyboard and is glued by magnetism.
One of the differences of this new V2 version is the inclusion of a palm rest. In addition to the smaller dimensions, the model in question comes with a micro-USB to USB cable (protected with fibers) that can be removed for easy transport. The Tournament version above is considerably smaller. The lack of macros is felt more, but a few centimeters in length are saved. In my case, it is extremely rare to use the numeric keys on the right side. Thanks to these cuts, this tournament edition manages to be considerably smaller than the normal version without losing the most important features. The traditional macro keys positioned on the left have been removed as well as the numeric keys on the right. That is why its dimensions have been reduced to become more compact. Does this keyboard keep its promises?Īs the keyboard name suggests, this edition was made with tournaments in mind. It is also the Razer keyboard that debuts Instant Trigger technology, which supposedly makes the response even faster than usual on these keyboards designed with the most demanding consumers in mind and who like to compete at the highest level. The Razer BlackWidow Tournament Edition Chroma V2 (yes, the name is long) is the latest model from this brand for those looking for a compact, easy-to-carry keyboard that does not lose the performance capabilities of the larger mechanical keyboards.
