Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Will Now Resist the H2O and Dust
Razer introduced a newly improved Razer BlackWidow Ultimate mechanical gaming keyboard to its best-selling keyboard line-up today.
ugmented with water- and dust-resistant features, the latest Razer BlackWidow Ultimate is redesigned to be the most resilient gaming keyboard to date. With an IP54 rating, the keyboard has been tested to protect against accidental water spillage and harmful dust particles.
“We’ve never stopped making improvements to our gaming keyboards,” says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder, and CEO. “The Razer BlackWidow Ultimate is now more durable than ever and our first mechanical keyboard to incorporate water- and dust-resistant features.”
The Razer BlackWidow Ultimate continues to boast individually backlit keys. Each green LED is easily customizable through Razer’s Synapse software, which offers a wide range of dynamic lighting effects which include: Wave, Ripple, Reactive, Starlight and more. Gamers are able to create various lighting profiles via the advanced lighting effect configurator.
The Razer BlackWidow Ultimate also comes equipped with the award-winning Razer™ Mechanical Switches, the world’s first key switch designed specifically for gaming. Available for this keyboard in a single switch variant – the Razer Green Switch – Razer continues to lead the industry with gaming-optimized actuation and reset responsiveness. With a rated lifespan of up to 80 million keystrokes, the Razer Mechanical Switch is engineered for durability and reliably delivers top performance with every key press.

Nice but... this is far from something can can be called an ultimate version...
1. Where is the Chroma lighting?
2. Where are the yellow and orange versions? (No 45g / 1.2mm actuation force versions)
3. Where is the wrist rest?
4. Where are the Macro keys on the left?
Pass; I am pretty sure those will come down the line, don't waste your money before then.

I used to have the first Blackwidow Chroma. What a turd it was, really loud. Got filthy all the time and worst part was the keys would stick mid game and get you killed!
Oh and the lack of wrist rest was ridiculous.
Safe to say my k95 platinum is the best and I'd never buy a Razer keyboard again!
Do You saw Razer Black Widow v2 wrist rest ?

I had horrid experience with them back in the day. Keyboard, two mice, two headsets, only mouse mat works.
Everything had buzzing, double click issues, sticky keys e.t.c.
Never again. As an example using steelseries 6gv2 keyboard for 6th year now, and works like a charm as my daily driver.
Perhaps Razer quality has increased, but even so it is unattractive to me with all the flashy lights and "in your face" style.
Actually in the past they had a few good mice. I used 2 of them but ended up going back to Logitech for 3366 sensor. Compared to the rest as of that time the 3366 feels the most accurate and stable.

Well as a manufaturer, I wouldn't bother with Razer's products. I had a mouse once, didn't even last two years with pretty average gaming use, still cost the same as a Logitech (around 60$), which lasts double that time easily, and had better software. That all happened a few years past though, so I don't have any knowledge what they have done in regards to mice in the recent years. But I wouldn't bother with it anymore, anyway.
As for the keyboard, they are just farming the people that want to clean their keyboards, and next year they sell them the improved version with everything people are missing now. Easily forseeable.
I still can't imagine it being easily kept clean though, as I am not sure if you can actually get the buttons off so you can get rid of anything trapped in there, or if it's just another useless gimmick.
Will you get a review sample @Hilbert Hagedoorn ?

wonder if dust resistant improve or even fix double-click that many said caused by dirt/dust trapped in the microswitch
also need to make note here is h2o ... so no sticky liquid (coke, energy drink) or coffee
otherwise not sure if they run out idea or what
but if they want, they should can make it possible since they release it first time
