CLG is one of the driving forces behind the explosive growth of professional gaming in North America and the world, says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder and CEO. The new CLG BlackWidow Ultimate Stealth keyboard features the only unobtrusive mechanical switch that was specifically designed for gaming.

These switches were tested extensively by the worlds most demanding eSports athletes from Team Razer, including CLG pros, who validated the new Razer Mechanical Switch in some of the most intense professional gaming tournaments.
