Review: Razer BlackWidow V4 75%

 

Razer's latest BlackWidow is a bold step into the world of custom mechanical keyboards.

Hot-swap sockets for easy customization. Tactile switches sound and feel great. Metal-top case improves sound and rigidity. Razer Synapse software is powerful and easy to use.

Opening case voids warranty. Shine-through ABS keycaps look good only with RGB lights enabled. Plate-mounted stabilizers will begin to rattle over time.

Razer BlackWidow V4 75% Review

 

Excellent typing feel ; Hot-swappable key switches ; Per-key RGB lighting ; Compact footprint ; Pre-wrapped in a "tempest" tape mod

Expensive ; No USB passthrough

The latest version of Razer's BlackWidow mechanical gaming keyboard is small, with a quarter of the full-size version chopped off, but what's left is one of the most satisfying scaled-down typing experiences you can find.

Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro Review

 

Tons of functionality ; Command dial is a useful addition ; Excellent RGB lighting effects ; Optional Yellow Linear key switches are quiet

Large size takes some getting used to ; Premium price

Razer's BlackWidow V4 Pro keyboard includes just about everything hardcore and professional gamers might need, and only one thing they don't: a high price.

Razer BlackWidow Tournament Edition

 

The Razer BlackWidow Tournament Edition mechanical keyboard is touted as being travel friendly, but the compact build only limits the functionality.

Quality construction with Cherry MX Blue mechanical switches. 10-key anti-ghosting. Detachable USB cable. Includes travel case.

Compact design removes numeric pad.

Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2013 Elite

 

Mechanical switches provide audio and tactile feedback. Backlit.

Stylized font on keys is hard to read. No backlight customization. Poor shielding for pass-thru ports. Smudge-prone finish.

The Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2013 Elite is a solid mechanical gaming keyboard, but it has its flaws, like a smudge prone-finish and poorly shielded connections.

Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Mechanical Gaming Keyboard review: Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

 

Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

Cherry MX Blue mechanical-key switches offer one of the most satisfying typing experiences available; backlighting helps you game in the dark; on-the-fly macro recording; intuitive driver software.

Backlighting and a few spare ports don't justify the $40 premium over the non-Ultimate BlackWidow.

At $125, the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate is a competitively priced mechanical gaming keyboard in its range. We just wish Razer had done more to set this "Ultimate" edition apart from Razer's more affordable standard BlackWidow.

Razer BlackWidow V4 75% review: A feature-packed powerhouse gaming keyboard

 

Is this the new king of gaming keyboards?

Dedicated media keys and volume roller ; Excellent typing sound and feel ; Compact 75% size ; Hot swappable ; Includes a comfy wrist rest

Razer Synapse is still clunky

The Razer BlackWidow V4 75% is a feature-packed refresh of Razer’s classic keyboard, delivering premium performance that easily earns it a spot among the best gaming keyboards.

Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Review

 

Several months ago, we had a quick look at the BlackWidow Ultimate from Razer, a company very well known for their focus on gaming-related products. A few weeks ago, Razer announced that they have developed their own all-new mechanical switches,...

In terms of design, there is little to say about the BlackWidow Ultimate, as the keyboard has essentially been around for years already. Razer refined it over time, adding one little upgrade after the other, the latest being their own Green switches....

The Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro continues the brand's legacy of producing gaming keyboards with more features and finesse than you, a gamer, might ever need.
