The new Razer BlackWidow keyboard has many of the same features as the flagship BlackWidow Elite. The BlackWidow is fitted with Razer’s tactile and 'clicky' green mechanical switches.
Designed for gaming by Razer, the green mechanical switch features a tactile bump and distinctive click sound, with optimised actuation and reset points for best-in-class gaming and typing. Using Razer’s improved dual-side wall switch design, key wobble is minimised while increasing accuracy and responsiveness. Each key is rated to last up to 80 million keystrokes.
The BlackWidow offers Razer Chroma with individual key lighting of 16.8 million colors controllable via Razer Synapse 3. With Razer Hypershift, every key can be a macro key, or be assigned secondary functions through Razer Synapse 3. The Razer BlackWidow also features onboard hybrid memory and cloud storage, allowing you to preserve your personalised settings (such as lighting profiles, key binds and macros) when used with different computers.
The new Razer Kraken headphones replace the Kraken Pro V2. Taking design and hardware cues from the flagship Kraken Tournament Edition, the Kraken features large 50 mm drivers to deliver clear, powerful sound. The improved retractable microphone cuts out even more background noise for better team communication. Long-term comfort is assured with thicker headband padding and all-ear gel cooling cushions. The Kraken Pro V2 has leatherette ear cushions. The ear cup padding features a moisture-wicking breathable fabric on the contact surface, a cooling gel layer and hidden eyewear channels built into the foam layer.
The Kraken is also available in a Quartz Pink edition, and as the Razer Kraken for Console, featuring a new color variant of black with blue highlights.
The Razer Basilisk Essential mouse stays true to the unique right-handed ergonomic form factor of the original Razer Basilisk and has seven configurable buttons utilising Razer’s mechanical mouse switches, with a durability of up to 20 million clicks.
The thumb-operated multi-function paddle, an award-winning feature in the original Basilisk, can be programmed for any function the gamer needs. Powered by a native, gaming-grade 6,400 dots per inch (DPI) optical sensor, the Razer Basilisk Essential features Razer Chroma with customisability of 16.8 million colours and variety of effects available through Razer Synapse 3.
