what's up guys Manny from Hardware in Boston today I've got another razor gaming keyboard review for you this time I'm taking a look at the black widow x chroma i looked at the black widow x Ultimate Edition a few weeks ago and I was very impressed overall so I've been keen to get my hands on another one since at first inspection the X chromosomes kind of minimal go on to the macro Keys of old and the layouts very standard a function button activates secondary functions along the F kero allowing you to mainly control media as well as change the brightness of the LEDs activate gaming mode and record macro is on the fly at the top right hand side some very minimal looking indicators let you know if you have caps lock on etc as well as indicate macro recording and the status of your gaming mode function these are labeled but it's black on black and frankly very hard to see unless you're on the right angle it doesn't take long to learn which is which the macro recording one lights up red but I think this could have been labeled in a way that was a little easier to understand the body of the keyboard is constructed from a very sturdy military-grade metal which means it isn't a light keyboard but the body is very strong and looks great too the face is a matte black that's actually very fingerprint resistant which is a definite place and goes a long way the stylish appearance of the device something else I noticed straight away it was how bright the LEDs look razor has used the simple LED above the switch design rather than embedding the LED in the switch and inside of the key caps is white which reflects the IG bees back onto the black backing player for a seriously bright glow I thought this made for a pretty cool effect and those that really like bright and noticeable leds will enjoy this aspect of the keyboard lighting kind of course be customized your heart's content and Razer synapse software which is a well-polished sweet profiles can be easily created and customized saving any lighting on macro setups you've designed and you can also tweak a few other settings such as which key combinations disabled in gaming mood for instance razors chrome apps can be switched on and off and you can also allow razor to gather stats for you based on how you use the keyboard on the underside of the keyboard there are two hind legs that prop it up on an angle as per usual and rays are also included some routes view management of the braided cable this can go right left or straight out the back it's a nice touch for those that are particular about where their cables have their desk personally I found this keyboard to be a dream I really grown to like these green razor switches in particular there's a very strong tactile feel to them and they make a loud sound that I find extremely satisfying here's a little typing test for you to enjoy and listen to I think the only things missing from the Black Widow excrement made it pretty much perfect our USB passthrough and the option for a wrist rest having tested so many boys the don't feature wrist rests I'm kind of getting used to it but I do definitely prefer having one or at least the option overall the Black Widow X chromosome kanika keyboard it's minimal design is very sleek and attractive and the RGB LED implementation is one of the brightest and most striking Arsene i personally find raises switches to be a delight to use and if you like a loud and strong tactile switch then I think you will too in the USA the black widow x chrome app isn't exactly cheap coming in one hundred and sixty dollars and I would like to see those extra features included for that sort of price it seems like you're paying a pretty low Australia tax this time around and you can pick up the extra chromophore one hundred and eighty dollars from my let me know what you think of the extra more in the comments i'm your host man as always and i'll see you guys next time you
