When we think about mechanical gaming keyboards that are of calibre, most of the time we would turn to tried and tested names such as Razer. Razer revives the Blackwidow gaming keyboard by adding in water- and dust-resistant capabilities, hence earning it the moniker of the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate mechanical gaming keyboard. This keyboard that was created specially for gamers have been redesigned in order to be more resilient, boasting of an IP54 rating in order to keep it protected against any kind of accidental water spillage or harmful dust particles.
Of course, gaming can be a difficult task, especially when you spend hours in a marathon session. Hence, it makes perfect sense to have some drinks nearby, but during your frenetic session, you might accidentally knock over that glass containing soda or water all over the place. Normal keyboards would normally be consigned to the rubbish heap after such an accident, but not the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate as it will keep on going.
Expect to be awed by its individually backlit keys, where each green LED can be customized via Razer’s Synapse software. This would result in a wide range of dynamic lighting effects that will comprise of Wave, Ripple, Reactive, and Starlight, among others. Gamers will also gain the ability to create different kinds of lighting profiles courtesy of the advanced lighting effect configurator. In addition, this gaming keyboard is equipped with the Razer Green Switch that has a rated lifespan of up to 80 million keystrokes. In other words, you would most probably still be able to game with this keyboard many years down the road after several hardware upgrade cycles as though it was just unpacked from its box.
The Razer Blackwidow Ultimate mechanical gaming keyboard will come with an asking price of $109.99 and is available worldwide in the final quarter of the year.

The Bitcoin virtual currency has been on a wild ride this year. It’s not only the price of this virtual currency that’s surging, it’s the power requirement as well. According to a new report, Bitcoin mining at this stage requires more power than over 20 European countries. The findings have been reported by UK-based researchers who looked into the total volume of electricity that’s required for mining Bitcoin.
There isn’t any physical mine where computers are being used to excavate the currency from. Bitcoin mining refers to the computational process that enables transactions on the blockchain to keep moving. The amount of power required to make that happen is more than what’s required by 20 countries in Europe.
There are only three countries on the entire continent of Africa that currently consume more electricity than Bitcoin mining – Egypt, South Africa, and Algeria.
The current estimated annual electricity consumption for Bitcoin mining is around 29.05 TWh, that’s equivalent to 0.13 percent of the world’s overall electricity requirements.
It’s also mentioned in the research that the power consumption for Bitcoin mining has increased nearly 30 percent in the last month alone. If the electricity requirements continue to increase at this rate, the mining consumption globally will best the United Kindom’s entire electric supply by October 2019.
