Can I use this guide for my Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2014 Tournament edition?

Yeah it’s pretty much the same procedure. I don’t know about the 2013, but the 2014 faceplate has two points on each of the sides where you have to get the spudger in and pry outwards a bit to release two tabs. They’re pretty stiff.
