Razer BlackWidow Elite

The Razer BlackWidow Elite is an outstanding gaming keyboard thanks to its short pre-travel distance and low operating force. It's also very well-built, and gamers should appreciate its customization options, whether it's controlling the full RGB backlighting or recording macros. It's available in three different switch types so you can choose your preferred gaming experience.
