The BlackWidow Elite works beautifully with a variety of game genres. Razer is investigating the issue, but be aware that if you install Synapse 3, it may not play nicely with your system. I didn't encounter this bug on every system, but I was able to replicate it when Razer asked me to investigate the matter further. On two separate installations, the Synapse software crashed and spontaneously uninstalled itself when I tried to adjust certain settings.
The only problem is that I encountered some major stability issues with the program. You can reprogram certain keys, create macros, link games with customized profiles, toggle Game Mode options (to disable certain keys during gameplay) and so forth. The rest of the Razer Synapse 3 software works well enough, most of the time. USB pass-through is fairly common in premium keyboards, but the audio pass-through is a novel touch, and I had perfect clarity testing it with both gaming and non-gaming headphones.
Some of the BlackWidow Elite's best features are baked right into its physical design. On my standard Logitech G613, I scored 116 words per minute with four errors, but considering that I'd spent only a few days with the BlackWidow, I don't consider this an insurmountable difference.
When it comes to typing, the BlackWidow Elite acquitted itself well, allowing me to type at 111 words per minute with eight errors on.

If you have a keycap puller at your disposal, they're definitely worth a look. Because of their increased size and better casing, these new switches could last quite a long time. But I can say this much: The new switches look a lot more durable.
In practice, I didn’t notice too much difference, either for gaming or typing. In theory, the new design is much more responsive and comfortable.
