Razer BlackWidow™ – Mekanisk designet keyboard til gamere
Det er ikke mange dage siden at Razer atter annoncerede et nyt produkt til markedet. Uden den store overraskelse så er der tale om et nyt tastatur i den 8-benede kategori, da alle deres tastaturer har edderkop navne, hvor den nyeste version har fået navnet BlackWidow.
BlackWidow er ligesom sine forgængere designet 100 % til gamer miljøet der også har været med til at påvirke designet som normalt på det område. Det nye tastatur er dog noget anderledes end tidligere versioner ved at bærer et 100 % mekanisk design.
Når der snakkes om mekanisk design så er det hvilken tastemekanisme der sidder under hver tast, hvor det typisk er klips og små kontakter der holder tingene. Når man har et mekanisk design bevæger vi os over i en komplet konstruktion der er langt kraftigere og solid.
Det er den klassiske “klik” lyd man atter kommer til at opleve, men også et tastatur der kan holde til langt mere. Razer siger det er første gamer designet mekanisk tastatur designet på markedet, men her er vi faktisk en smule i tvivl da danske SteelSeries for nogle år siden lancerede deres 6G og 6G V2.
Det som Razer kan slå på er at deres Mekaniske gamer tastatur har langt flere funktioner og muligheder, men på det mekaniske er Razer ikke de første efter vores information og viden.
Tastaturet kommer denne gang i 2 forskellige udgaver, BlackWidow og BlackWidow Ultimate hvor forskellen er at Ultimate er udstyret med blåt lys bag alle tasterne, ellers er de 2 modeller identiske.

THE WORLD’S FIRST MECHANICAL KEYBOARD DESIGNED FOR GAMING LAUNCHED AT GAMESCOM 2010
Razer BlackWidow™ Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Available Worldwide from September 2010
GamesCom, Cologne, Germany – August 18, 2010 – Razer™, the world’s leading manufacturer of high-end precision gaming and lifestyle peripherals, today announced the Razer BlackWidow™ mechanical gaming keyboard engineered for gamers who demand superior tactile feedback and comfort while playing.
Most mechanical keyboards in the market today are standard mechanical keyboards rebadged as gaming keyboards that feature stiff keys that cause key actuation fatigue. Such keyboards are inherently worse off for gamers as it actually decreases gameplay performance as opposed to enhancing it. As a result, most professional gamers eschew such marketing gimmicks for regular membrane keyboards.
For the past 3 years, Razer’s design and engineering teams have been working on a mechanical keyboard – developed for gamers from the ground up, resulting in the Razer BlackWidow.
The Razer BlackWidow features a uniquely tactile mechanical key architecture that provides each key on the keyboard with a crisp response and tactile feedback similar to a mouse click. Coupled with a unique key actuation point halfway through the full travel distance, the optimized mechanical key structure found in each of the Razer BlackWidow’s keys provide for greater precision and accuracy versus other traditional mechanical keyboards.
The keys on the Razer BlackWidow also feature one of the lightest actuation forces for all keyboards. The key actuation force has been optimized by the Razer design team from readily available components but sorted with the rigorous quality standards that Razer is known for. As a result, this enhanced key force allows gamers to type and click much faster than other mechanical keyboards in the industry.
“The Razer BlackWidow is the world’s first mechanical keyboard that has been engineered from ground up for gaming,” said Robert “Razerguy” Krakoff, president, Razer. “Imagine every single key on the keyboard with the precision of a mouse click – no more pressing of keys without knowing for certain if they have been actuated. Precision clicking coupled with an optimized lighter key actuation force, this changes the way gamers will play from now on. ”
The Razer BlackWidow is the only mechanical keyboard that features fully programmable keys with on-the-fly macro recording as well as five additional gaming keys, further leaving other mechanical keyboards in the dust when it comes to gaming compatibility and performance.
The revolutionary Razer BlackWidow mechanical gaming keyboard will be available in September 2010. Also available in the same month is the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate, a step up from the original edition with the added features of individually backlit keys with 5 levels of lighting, 3.5” audio and microphone out jacks as well as an additional USB port.
About the Razer BlackWidow
The Razer BlackWidow’s full mechanical key architecture provides a distinctive tactile feedback that simulates the experience and precision of performing a mouse click, giving gamers an entirely new feel with this keyboard. With its optimized actuation force of 50g and an actuation point halfway down the full travel distance of 4mm, the Razer BlackWidow’s keys deliver crisp response with exceptional actuation speed. An ultra robust construction, fully programmable keys, 5 additional macro keys, and on-the-fly macro recording round off this revolutionary gaming keyboard.
