Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2013 Owner's Manual
The award-winning Razer BlackWidow Ultimate is now back, better than ever. It still
offers the most precise and superior mechanical key infrastructure ever designed in a
gaming keyboard. Using blue switches, the 2013 edition of Razer BlackWidow Ultimate
delivers crisp tactile and clicky feedback with every actuation and is blazingly fast in
response for the most unfair in-game advantage.
This latest edition of the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate comes with improved antighosting which supports up to 10 simultaneous key presses in gaming mode, compared
to just 3 in ordinary keyboards. This means that gamers can destroy the competition
with as many attacks and skills as there are fingers on their hands, and have them all
registered accurately in-game.
The new Razer BlackWidow Ultimate also now features green backlighting and an antifingerprint matte black finish so not only can you feel, but also see the difference as
you win with this ultimate mechanical gaming keyboard.
