Verdict
The 2019 edition of the Razer Blackwidow ticks some boxes in its revision, but lacks what some would perceive as basic functions that are available on the majority of the competition at this price. The clicky switches, flashy lights and bright colours can't really help Razer escape from this chronic underselling of a fan-favourite.
Key Features
