THE BLACKWIDOW CHROMA

The Blackwidow Chroma mechanical gaming keyboard features a nice black matte colored rubber coating and yes as you can see it comes without a wrist rest. That also means that size-wise it's smaller than many other gaming keyboards and measures 475mm in length, 171mm in width and 39mm in height.

Razer has placed their logo at the lower center area of the keyboard.

5 fully programmable macro keys are placed on the far left area of the keyboard.

The F keys double as media control keys (volume up/down, play/pause track and next/previous track) and are also used for on-the-fly Macro programming, Gaming mode (10-key rollover), brightness control and sleep mode.

For the RGB illumination Razer has used a single LED right next to each of their switches much like what Cherry MX has done.

A powered USB port is placed on the far right of the keyboard right next to the usual microphone and headphones 3.5mm connectors.

At the base of the keyboard we see 5 rubber feet and two stand-offs.

The two stand-offs raise the top end of the keyboard roughly 22mm from your desk.

Razer has placed two USB plugs and the usual microphone and headphones mini jacks at the end of the braided cable (all are gold plated).
