Gaming mode can be enabled within the software, which disables certain keys of your choice, to prevent them being accidentally clicked in the heat of battle this setting can also be enabled using Fn + F10, marked on the key accordingly. It’s also possible to download profiles from Razer’s website, created by Razer themselves or by the community. Fire is pretty fun, using orange, red and yellow to create the effect of a fire, roaring up from the bottom of the keyboard. Many different effects can be chosen, including starlight which lights up random keys, one at a time, in a choice of your colours. The RGB lighting on this keyboard is worthy of an award on its own, so the software needs to be useful to fully utilise its abilities. Next up, lighting, this is where the fun begins. This screen allows keys to be assigned different purposes and for profiles to be constructed, with the ability to assign profiles to any program, therefore allowing certain setups to launch automatically, as soon as a game or piece of software is launched. Once you’ve set up your account, which is required to allow you to sign in on any PC and download your settings, you’re met with the Customize screen. The Razer Blackwidow Tournament Edition Chroma V2 uses Synapse 2.21 at this present moment in time, though it’s likely we’ll see everything moved over to Synapse 3.0 soon that driver version is currently in beta.
