Mechanical key-presses are a satisfaction unto themselves. Backlit. USB and headphone/mic pass-throughs give ease-of-access to ports. Flexible macro and customisation system. Heavier than many laptops
The editors didn't like
Slightly confusing typeface on keys
Backlighting doesn’t apply to Shift keys
No light customising to go with macros
Backlighting doesn?t apply to Shift+ keys
Backlighting and a few spare ports don't justify the $40 premium over the non-Ultimate BlackWidow
Lacks resounding blueswitch feel
MMO gamers may want more macro keys
No more dedicated macro keys (though you can still use other keys to record macros)
Not much reason of an upgrade if you already have a BlackWidow Ultimate
Does not support Chroma SDK and no custom lighting presets from the community yet
Clack clack clack. don't expect this to be quiet. Or cheap

115$ is what you end up throwing out to get one of these keyboards, a tad higher perhaps than other mechanical keyboards. The Blackwidow is a full size keyboard with excellent features as Macro keys, braided cable, LED keys, etc which turned out to be...
The market for mechanical gaming keyboards has exploded recently. It didn't seem that long ago that everyone was trading in their Model M's for something sleek and low-profile. Now the mechanical keyboards are back with a rightful bang, and a whole new ge...
As we have come to expect of Razer BlackWidow keyboards, the Ultimate 2013 edition did not disappoint in terms of performance. In all my testing, I didn't find any ghosting during gameplay and every key registered accurately. 10KRO “gaming mode” worked qu...
No doubt the keyboard is excellent to use and very well designed, the clicking sound might be a turn off for some as well as the fixed parrot green lighting color yet one should not be put off by such little things when getting a mechanical keyboard.Besid...

Mechanical switches provide audio and tactile feedback. Backlit.
Stylized font on keys is hard to read. No backlight customization. Poor shielding for pass-thru ports. Smudge-prone finish
The Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2013 Elite is a solid mechanical gaming keyboard, but it has its flaws, like a smudge prone-finish and poorly shielded connections....
Abstract: There are exactly two kinds of people when it comes to mechanical keyboards, those who own them and those who have to choose whether or not to tolerate the people who own them. The fact is, some people don’t feel at home on a computer unless the keybo...
Abstract: Ok it took a while for me to get my hands on the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Elite Edition keyboard due to mailing issues and it has been a while since then. I am sure that the folks at Razer thought I forgot all about it, but it is really the opposite, I w...
