Of course, Razer Synapse is used to control everything regarding the keyboard, including the lighting, which uses the new Chroma module. Those are dedicated Macro keys, which can be useful, especially in conjunction with the Razer Synapse control center. Many of you will be quick to notice that there is an extra column on the left side, which is annotated with M.

It ensures that you always have a spare USB port and a nearby place to connect a headset. The BlackWidow Chroma V2 also comes with its own USB and audio jack ports, and very long and solid braided cables. The sound that will annoy anyone in the room with you who’s not a gamer and doesn’t have the same type of keyboard mostly comes from the keys hitting bottom. It’s also the reason why keys make much more noise than a regular keyboard. The same specs can be found for the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2017, which we also reviewed some time ago. Also, the keys make contact half-way, which means that users don’t need to drive them all the way down.

Simply put, 50g sits somewhere in the middle, which means that some keyboards out there will require more force than others while you type. Also, attaching grams to a force is not kosher in terms of physics, but let’s go with it since pretty much all the industry has adopted this method. Razer says the keys in The BlackWidow Chroma V2 have a 50g actuation force, but that’s not suggesting much to someone who never tried this type of keys.
