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

Responsive keys minimize mis, presses, Substantial construction and feel, Less noisy keystrokes
Lacks resounding blue, switch feel, MMO gamers may want more macro keys
Taken on its own, the Razer Ultimate BlackWidow is a sturdy, responsive keyboard that will do what you want most out of a peripheral - fade into the periphery, especially if you disable the backlight. And as much as Razer would like you to believe it has...

Good integrated touchscreen, Genuinely useful functions, Stylish design, Good build quality
Some minor bugs remain with touchpad, Chiclet keys not to all tastes, A bit pricey
Abstract: Keyboards come in all shapes and sizes - from simple to advanced, basic or with display, or with a sound card or extra keys. The quality of the keys themselves often is of secondary importance. This review will focus on a category of keyboards that has ...
Priced at £74, the Razer Blackwidow Ultimate is, according to us, asking for too much moolah. In fact, if you do not want any of the fancy features like the backlighting, the macro keys or the USB port then you can go ahead and buy the standard Blackwi...
