The Razer BlackWidow was the first mechanical gaming keyboard to deliver a tactile
gaming experience gamers could actually feel, while enhancing gameplay with blazing
fast actuations. The Razer BlackWidow Stealth Edition 2012, using Cherry MX Brown
mechanical switches, lets you go ninja by delivering the same superior gaming-grade
response as the award-winning original, only with a quieter but no less distinctive
tactile feedback – perfect for those who favor silent sneak attacks and meticulous
pwnage from the shadows.
The newly reinvigorated Razer BlackWidow Stealth comes with improved anti-ghosting
which supports up to 10 simultaneous key presses in gaming mode. This means that
gamers can assassinate the competition with as many deadly ninja key presses as there
are fingers on their hands, and have them all registered accurately in-game.
An all-new feature on the Razer BlackWidow Stealth is its USB and audio passthroughs.
Gamers get total convenience with more room to plug in their other gaming
peripherals or removable storage devices, and all within easy reach.
Catch your foes off-guard and strike faster than they can react with the mechanical
Razer BlackWidow Stealth.
