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

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 75%: Lab Tested - RTINGS.com

The Razer BlackWidow V4 75% is an amazing gaming keyboard. It delivers remarkably good latency performance that's also extremely consistent, thanks to a maximum update rate of 8000Hz. This keyboard uses Razer's Orange Gen-3 Mechanical Switches, which...

Outstanding latency performance, impressive build quality, poron gasket, tape mod, pre-lubed stabilizers, fs4 plate, and sound-dampening foam, per-key backlighting and shine-through keycap legends, 8000hz effective update rate
