A thick braided cable leaves the top side of the keyboard, ending in two USB connectors and two 3.5mm headphone connectors. The bottom of the keyboard is rather plain, with only five small rubber anti-skid pads and two height adjustment feet. Two headphone jacks and a USB port can be found on the right side of the keyboard. Razer is using stabilizer bars beneath the larger keys, which do give a uniform feeling while pressing them but they hardly do anything to stop the keys from wobbling. Most of the keys are very firm and robust, with the exception of the larger keys.

Other than that, the keyboard follows a typical full keyboard layout (US layout for our sample), with the exception of five extra macro keys on the far left side of the board. Thankfully, Razer ditched the glossy plastic frame after the 2012 version and is now using a soft, matte black frame, which is not as prone to fingertips as the first versions of the keyboard. Visually, the new version of the BlackWidow Ultimate is essentially identical to the 2013 version.
