The Blackwidow is packed nicely in this quite big box, which is padded in foam. As we can see they have a opening for the arrow keys so you can feel the Cherry MX switch that is used on the keyboard. This is a nice feature since a lot of mechanical keyboards are quite loud and keys also need to be pushed harder than others.
Inside the box I also found a little envelope with various papers such as a manual, authenticity slip, etc.

The left side of the Blackwidow is equipped with five macro keys so you can program macros or other features to these buttons. They are quite handy in games where you have to use a lot of hotkeys.
