Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2016

Razer has just released the new Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2016. They mmade a few minor changes from the 2014 and 2015 models are a few tweaks, less keys, and a lower price ($109). The major difference between the 2014 and 2016 models is the lack of keys. The 2016 doesn't have the 5 macro keys that the versions from 2014 and older had. Now there is a unified audio pass through cable, more customizable and individually backlit keys, backlighting on the spacebar and function keys, and an improved indicator panel.

Blackwidow Ultimate 2016 features

• Individually, programmable backlit keys

• Green LED back lighting

• Razer Green mechanical key switches rated for up to 60 million keystrokes and 50g actuation force

• 10 key roll-over anti-ghosting

• Reduced footprint

• Backlit spacebar and Fn key

• 1x USB and unified audio pass through

• 1000Hz polling

• Braided fiber cable

​Razer's Synapse software is always recieving updates along with the new hardware. This allows consumers to feel comfortable knowing that when they buy a new Razer product, they will be able to customize it to their favorite settings.

Overall, the BlackWidow 2016 leaves a smaller footprint on your desk and also (more importantly) on your wallet. Again, Razer has made a great update to their flagship mechanical keyboard.
