is this the blue LED Razer blackwidow?

Uhm. By blue, only the insignia at the bottom lights up blue. If you want a keyboard where there is a light behind the keys that lights blue then this isnt it. Just a good old mechanical keyboard with the razer symbol at the bottom pulsating blue

You probably can't. They have three models: white, blue, and blue/red. I've seen the comment as well but my keyboard is only blue. Probably just a mix-up that's easily understood since there doesn't seem to be a part number on the keyboard and they look identical.

All of these people are wrong in some way. This is the non-stealth version with features Cherry MX Blue switches, which are tactile, mechanical switches with a defined break point and "clicky" feedback. The stealth version uses Cherry MX Brown switches, which are also tactile, mechanical switches, but do not have "clicky" feed back and have an actuation force about 10g less than the Cherry MX Blues. I'm not sure why Razer doesn't make one available using MX Blacks, since they are better for gaming then either the MX Blues or Browns. Anyway, Ben is wrong because the Nostromo/Tartarus uses RUBBER DOME MEMBRANE switches, NOT mechanical ones like the Stealth does. Jarlax is wrong because the switches are quite different, the clicky feedback with the Blues is MUCH more pronounced than the Browns. I should mention that while I don't actually own this particular product, I am very familiar with mechanical keyboards and gaming accessories. Hope that was of some help.

Yes it is. I bought one to go with mine. Be aware that it is a small keyboard, it is difficult to type with two hands.

Razer has since put out another version of this keyboard called the Razer Blackwidow Ultimate Stealth Edition (there is also a non-Ultimate Stealth Edition). The Stealth Edition has Cherry Brown switches which are much quieter. If you want this keyboard without the noise, you can get the Stealth version directly from the Razer online store. Hopefully Amazon will stock the Stealth version soon.

Yes it is, but I wouldn't recommend getting this keyboard. After a few months of use, the keyboard started messing up and the keys would stick while in-game which made it very unbearable to play. Reinstalled the drivers, updated even, and nothing worked. I am currently using Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 2000 which is fairly quiet and has great battery life.

These look very similar to the ones on Razers site (www.razerzone.com/gaming-audio/razer-ferox). With the exception of the new ones have a green light in place of a blue light.

I am not familiar with other models, but yes, a soft blue light is just visible under the keyboard.

Yes. If you look closely at the photo, you can see it - a light blue button above the other controls.

I was curious if it was a true LED as well, decided to take one of the switches apart... It is indeed an actual LED (3mm size), and the LED itself on mine was blue (not just a white LED with blue tinted button).

There is a sensor looking like a camera labeled "Color by Pantone" on the lower end of the keyboard. I have not used it, but I assume that this is it.

The Blue switch is the type of actuator the keyboard uses, amd not the LED color, which is red. Hope I could help.

Yes, the LED in the keyboard has 3 colour options, Red, Blue, and Purple. There's a button at the top for colour change and LED brightness.

The item I received was the blue Beta Master. So I would have to say the picture is wrong.

I don't know with 100% certainty it will fit because I don't own the Razer BlackWidow. However, after looking at pics of it and seeing the extra row on the left, adding length, and the general fatness of it, I believe it will fit. I tested a standard Logitech usb kb and there was plenty of bag room for more kb depth (left to right width in the bag). The kb width (top to bottom height in the bag) left about 2 inches of bag clearance for this standard kb. Unless the kb desk height is 3+ inches, I don't see why it wouldn't fit. Good luck!

Yes, the keys are mechanical. Specifically, they are Cherry MX Brown keys with O-rings under each keycap. The great thing about the G710 keys vs. those used in something like the Razer Blackwidow is that Logitech incorporated what they call "whisper-quiet" keys in the design of this board making it MUCH more quiet than keyboards such as the Blackwidow. Having owned the Blackwidow, I can attest to the fact that those keys were annoyingly loud. I switched to the G710 and am extremely impressed with how much quieter the keys are as well as the quality of the board construction. I highly recommend the G710 over all other boards on the market at this time. Yes, the keys are mechanical. Specifically, they are Cherry MX Brown keys with O-rings under each keycap.
