Razer keyboards

[digisaffy03]

Whilst looking for a keyboard to buy, I stumbled on the Razer blackwidow and really liked it then also saw razer blackwidow X chroma for 20£ higher. What are the differences between the X and just the blackwidow chroma?

The Blackwidow X has exposed switches

I don't know off the top of my head, but searching for "blackwidow x chroma vs blackwidow chroma" on the Loogle returned a lot of results with videos and forums of people discussing it.

The Blackwidow has macro keys and the blackwidow x doesnt have them and has exposed switches. I would recommend a corsair keyboard as razer synapse is rather unreliable

BW: X has a metal finish on top with exposed switches, BW: Chroma has a plastic cover on top of it with a white backplate under it so you'll get brighter lighting on the BW: Chroma.

 

BW: Chroma has a USB passthrough, audio passthrough and 5 macro keys on the left, BW: X has none of those.

 

BW: X has cable routing, Chroma doesn't.

 

BW: X has a much more professional looking font on the keycaps while the BW: Chroma uses a blocky alien gamer font.

 

Having used both, I prefer the BW: X because I don't use any of the original's features and I prefer the smaller footprint, the original Chroma is also a fingerprint magnet due to the matte paint they used while the X doesn't attract fingerprints. The X also has a better chance of coming with the Greetech switch which a lot of people have been praising.
