Razer BlackWidow tournament edition User Manual

1 | razer™
The Razer BlackWidow Tournament Edition was designed for gamers looking for a
mechanical gaming keyboard that delivers only the key gaming features to winning, in
an ultra-minimalist setup.
Like the rest of the critically acclaimed Razer BlackWidow line-up, the core feature of
the Tournament Edition keyboard is its Cherry MX Blue switch mechanical key
infrastructure. Crisp, distinctive tactile feedback at the fingertips, rapid-fire keystroke
actuations faster than an opponent can react, and improved anti-ghosting, makes this
the only keyboard to match the unrelentingly fast reflexes and instincts of the best pro-
gamers.
Stripped of its numpad, the Razer BlackWidow Tournament layout is light and highly
compact. The macro keys have also been removed to adhere to tournament
regulations. This makes it perfect for gamers with limited desk space, or chooses to
carry their own keyboard to LAN parties and tournaments - the only keyboard they
trust to lay the necessary smackdown to winning. The braided
USB cable can also be detached for extra portability, and locked into place on the
keyboard to ensure a robust setup that can take a beating during intensive gaming
sessions.
The BlackWidow Tournament Edition also offers superior anti-ghosting, supporting up
to 10 simultaneous key presses in gaming mode, compared to 3 in standard keyboards.
This ensures that in the heat of the battle, each and every of your commands are
executed accurately and perfectly.
Take home the victory with the Razer BlackWidow Tournament Edition – designed for
maximum function, minimal fuss.
