Water and dust resistance is an important feature for devices like Bluetooth speakers and smartphones. Similar element resistance is coming to other devices as well, and the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate is an upgraded version of their popular keyboard that now has an IP54 water and dust resistance rating. While phones and speakers are water and dust proofed for outdoor elements, the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate has been redesigned to protect against accidental spills and dust particles.
