Unique display and improved keyboard
The main feature of the new Blade 18 is the 18-inch display, which Razer calls «the world’s first dual-mode screen». It allows users to switch between UHD+ at 240Hz for high-quality detail in games and FHD+ at 440Hz for maximum responsiveness in competitive gaming. This approach gives gamers more flexibility in choosing the optimal mode for different types of content.
The notebook’s keyboard has also been redesigned to use a new scissor switch mechanism, which increases key travel by 35% over the previous generation and has a key activation force of 63 g. In addition, the keyboard features a 10-key numeric pad and two-color backlighting for each key. The appearance of the device remains largely unchanged from the model released in 2023.
