Razer BlackWidow Stealth, BlackWidow Tournament Stealth Edition Quick Start Manual
Go ninja with the all-new Razer BlackWidow Stealth. An all-new internal mechanical
key architecture has been developed in-house by elite Razer mechanical engineers –
tested and validated to meet the demanding needs of the world’s best eSports
athletes.
While conventional mechanical switches are made primarily for typing, the Razer™
Mechanical Switches have been designed from the ground up specifically for gaming.
These switches offer blazing fast actuation along with incredible keystroke accuracy,
making sure you never miss a critical strike. The Razer™ Mechanical Switches are also
ultra-durable to allow up to 60 million keystrokes, as compared to the 50 million
keystrokes of other conventional mechanical switches.
The Razer BlackWidow Stealth features extreme anti-ghosting with 10 key roll-over in
gaming mode, letting you destroy the competition with as many key presses as there
are fingers on both hands.
