Previously the Blackwidow TE Chroma sports a Costar-based wire stabilizers, but the Blackwidow X TE Chroma now utilizes Cherry-style stabilizers, which makes changing keycaps such a breeze. XDĪnother notable change is the stabilizers. I am now waiting for a set of new Doubleshot PBT Keycaps (backlight compatible) from Vortex to arrive, so I am already halfway there. With the standard bottom row, users can now customize their Blackwidow X TE Chroma to their hearts content with custom keycaps and whatnot. With the exception of Max Keyboard (which does offer PBT keycaps with 6.25, 6.5 and 6.0 spacebar spacings), a complete keycap set for non-standard bottom row can be hard to find.

RAZER BLACKWIDOW TOURNAMENT EDITION CHROMA REVIEW UPGRADE

As a result, it ticks me off time to time when I knew that non-standard bottom row can be an issue for keycaps upgrade later down the road. Previously for my Blackwidow TE Chroma, I outfitted all of the keys on the keyboard with PBT keycaps, except the spacebar (which has a 6.0 spacing). The bottom row is now standard (which I am really thankful for), which makes it so much easier for us to browse and look for after-market custom keycaps. The symbols are no longer unidentifiable, and all of the clean fonts can be read easily now. It is a font both gamers and non-gamers can appreciate, and it fits very well with the rest of the updated aesthetics. The floating keys design, along with the aluminium top plate, makes the keyboard looks premium and professional.Īs for the fonts, Razer changed it from the previous, gamer-focused blocky font to the new, simple yet elegant font that truly looks better.

Since Razer opted for the aluminium face plate this time around, the keys and switches are exposed in its full glory. Also, you cannot change the color of the LED indicators (static white, with the exception of the macro indicator, which lights up red) They could have etched it white so that it contrasts with the aluminium face plate. Not a deal-breaker, that's for sure, but it is something to be pointed out.

As a result, it might be hard to see which indicators are active. The logo for caps lock, scroll lock, gaming mode (Windows lock) and macro indicator is etched onto the aluminium in a semi-reflective black color, which blends in with the color of the aluminium. The LED indicators are right above the arrow keys, which lights up a solid white. There is no numpad on the right side, which minimizes the keyboard's footprint, making it much more compact (saves a ton of space on the desk). The top surface of the keyboard is made of military-grade aluminium, which makes it very durable and heavy. A dust cover is always a welcome addition, so props to Razer for that.įor the Blackwidow X Tournament Edition Chroma, Razer has overhauled most of the design aspect to make it a much better product for the customers. The keyboard itself is tucked very firmly in the centre, complete with a dust cover on top for users to use later on.

Nice improvements so far! Inside the box you will find the usual user manual and product guide, as well as the Razer stickers packaged neatly with the rest of the documentation. The new Razer logo looks so much better than the previous one. I really love how Razer kept it simple this time around. It's just a simple image of the keyboard with the name on top. The box is simple and clean, with no crazy graphics or anything of the sort. It's Razer, so you can expect the packaging to be well-designed and professional. So far Razer offers the Blackwidow X TE Chroma in their signature Razer Green switches (tactile and clicky, 50g actuation force), but in the future, other options will be available as well, such as the Razer Orange switches (tactile and non-clicky, 45g actuation force) and Cherry MX Blue switches (tactile and clicky, 50g actuation force).

I collaborated with Razer previously as a technical reviewer, discussing about the original Blackwidow TE Chroma and how the design can be improved. The X version is an updated version of the original Blackwidow Tournament Edition Chroma, with several key changes in aesthetics and specifications (more on that later).
