I recently got my hands on the Razer BlackWidow V4 75% Wired Gaming Keyboard w/ Hot-Swappable switches in white, and I can confidently say it is one of Razer’s best keyboards they have made to date. As a big gamer, finding the perfect keyboard has been a search, and the BlackWidow V4 has to be one of the best 75% gaming keyboards out there. First and foremost, the design of this keyboard is stunning. The sleek white finish gives it a modern and elegant look that instantly stands out. The compact 75% layout with media buttons, volume rocker provides a perfect balance between functionality and space-saving for my desk. The build quality is exceptional with an aluminum top casing and plastic bottom that feels very durable. The wrist rest that comes with it is one of the softest I’ve used and the built-in magnets allow it to sit flush firmly on the keyboard without moving. Razer has finally noticed the popularity in custom keyboards and with the BlackWidow V4 75% they are finally dipping their toes into the waters of the custom keyboards market with this being their first hot swappable keyboard. This is a nice addition and is greatly appreciated. The Orange switches that come on this keyboard are very nice for both typing and gaming. They provide a nice tactile and thocky keystroke, making each press satisfying and responsive. Whether I’m typing out an E-mail or playing a fast-paced first person shooter game, the switches deliver a consistent and responsive experience. The stabilizers come pre lubed for a better travel on the bigger keys but the switches do not lubed which is a little disappointing (but realize this would add to the cost for a little more performance.) The hot-swappable design is truly a game-changer, and allows you to customize your keyboard further to your liking. I had some extra keycaps from an old keyboard build and added them to this keyboard for my WASD and space bar just for fun. Swapping switches is effortless, with the two-in-one keycap and switch puller that is provided in the box. Razer is known for its excellent RGB lighting, with the ability of being able to customize it to your specific liking in the Synapse App. The individually customizable RGB shine through backlit keys are not only some of the best RGB I’ve seen on a keyboard, it's also visually stunning. The RGB on the sides of the keyboard is also a nice touch for that added flair. In the Synapse App I can assign different colors to specific keys, which I love for certain PC games, so I'm not always having to pause the game to see which keys do what all the time and not having to constantly do the trial error. You can also set this up for specific game profiles, where the lighting will change based on the gaming you are playing. Overall, the Razer BlackWidow V4 75% Wired Gaming Keyboard with Hot-Swappable switches is a gamers dream come true keyboard. Its stylish design, the Orange switches, hot-swappable switches, and customizable RGB lighting and macros make it one of the gaming keyboards on the market. If you’re looking for a great 75% gaming keyboard that not only looks amazing but also delivers excellent responsive performance, you can't go wrong with this one.

This is Razer's first foray into the market of "custom" style keyboards and I believe they more or less nailed it. As the product states, this is a 75% layout which is a great middle ground between smaller 65% and TKL (80%) products. The 65% is closer to the 75% design, albeit no FKEY row, which can be extremely useful for quick camera control in MOBA games. I was actually using my Razer 60% Huntsman Mini (White) for a year prior to acquiring this. While I do love the 60% form factor for compactness..it had also become an annoyance for everyday computing. BIOS,Task manager, and in game console commands all required me to use the function key with alternative key settings. I didn't mind it at first, but I was thinking that I should go back to larger design over time.. I didn't want another TKL (80%), but also didn't want a different 60/65%... Enter BlackWidow V4 75%. Form factor is Perfect! Its not quite a TKL, but also not small enough to be too bulky for my preferences. The only downside that I have from this specific 75% design is that the right shift key is smaller than I'm used to. I tend to use right shift more than the left side so I've had a harder time trying to adjust. With that said.. lets get started with what I think! SUBJECTIVE FEEL: 10 finger typist will end up loving this as the key feel is very balanced. The gasket and padding from its "custom" oriented design will give you exceptional feedback that you will not experience on your average gaming keyboard. If you use a two-three fingers typing style, the 50g tactile switches might be a little too heavy relative to a 40-45G key of any style with specific actuation/travel points, especially due to that padding/gasket material. I'm in the middle of both of these typing styles and while I don't exactly love the 50g Razer orange switches... I can respect them for what they are. Also note that I am coming from a 45g Razer optical keyboard with lower actuation point so this has been a harder adjustment for typing from my hybrid style. "hint hint razer ;)" On the flip side.. I actually prefer having heavier switches in gaming. I feel that I have more control over my game, but it will be inverse for a lot of people, especially those that like to spam buttons is specific games. It's really a trade off... Luckily, this is also razers first hot swappable keyboard and you can swap out the switches for something different later on. 3-5 stem plug designs. On that note... I did try a "red" switch from another hot swap keyboard that I have, but I didn't like the way it felt, or the way the LED shined through the caps. I would recommend an alternative switch kit from Razer themselves if you go this route. BUILD QUALITY: I expected better.. just average for me. Nothing really stands out. The aluminum plate is thin and hovers over the plastic shell. From looking at photos and videos of people that opened one of these up, you can easily tell that the PCB quality is top notch relative to competitors. Plus in my book. Volume rocker is metal, but the mute and pause switches feel plastic. Mixed feelings here. CONS: -If i have to knock anything.. its the ABS key caps. My PBT caps on my other Razer keyboard still look brand new, but ABS has always degraded over time. They had to cut corners somewhere, and its unfortunately here. I don't think they sell a replacement key cap set for 75% due to custom FN and shift key size so this may be a problem long term. ABS may also turn color over time.. Especially on white.. I think it's a fair warning. -Due to the nature of the design and use of FR4 PCB for a plate mount, this keyboard doesn't have an exposed floating top plate, meaning hair and particles will slide down and you will have to remove caps and keys to clean it. It's not as bad as a regular TKL since everything is in one bank, but the floating plate designs are superior if you have compressed air or a hair dryer (cold air) to blow it out. This can be looked as a both a positive and negative, but I thought I'd share the limitations. - The USB-C cable doesn't have a locking channel. Is it a big problem? No, but other Razer keyboards have this. PROS/BENEFITS: -Hot swap PCB design -High end NXP MCU capable of 8000hz polling -Very comfortable wrist rest if you choose to use it. (I don't) -Compact 75% layout!!! OVERALL: Is it my absolute favorite keyboard for subjective feel? No, but I do like it and will continue using it for a good while. I think razer did a good overall job with it and hope they improve on the downsides... Both subjective and objective. Solid 4/5 from me.

To sum it up i love having more desktop space and this keyboard fit the bill to a T. Losing the 25% of the keyboard i though was going to be weird or bug me but to be honest i absolutely love it. You do lose your number keys on the side of the keyboard but all the buttons i normally use are still there and with it's more compact size i have room on my desk to now set the mic and my second speaker. Setup was a breeze as it normally is with Razer items. Just install Razer Synapse and any gear that is razer it automatically finds and gives you all your settings rite on the screen including the RGB settings. In the picture i used the keyboard is red except the Q key because im playing diablo 4 and it has pre setup RGB for games and some of them you mite have on your computer. So as i did i just selected diablo 4 and it will set up the keys to correspond with the game you are playing. So in a nutshell my 1-2-3-4 are my attack keys and my Q is my potion key and were i was when i took the picture you could only use a potion so that's why the Q key was lit up white. I love the software because i did not need to download any 3rd party software to get this option to work or have to pay a monthly fee. They keys are the middle of the road for the clicking sound not to much but just enough to know when you hit a hey it actually was pressed and the space bar key makes a different sound then the rest every time you hit it. The keyboard is very solid made out of a metal feeling material not plastic. If your looking to gain some desktop space back i highly recommend a 75% keyboard like this one and if you're looking for a wicked cool looking keyboard look no further because this keyboard checks every box that you need for a great keyboard that looks awesome and is definitely a solid addition to anyone's computer build.

Unboxing the BlackWidow V4 was a moment of excitement. Razer's distinct packaging sets the stage for what's inside. Opening it reveals the keyboard, a user manual, and any accompanying extras. My initial impressions were highly positive. The keyboard exudes quality, boasting a robust build and well-thought-out features. Typing on the BlackWidow V4 is a real pleasure. The Orange switches deliver a tactile bump without the loud click of traditional mechanical switches. Whether I'm engaging in extended typing sessions or sending quick chat messages, the keyboard guarantees accuracy and comfort. The actuation force is just right, striking a balance between swift response for gaming and comfortable typing for everyday tasks. This is where Razer's expertise in keyboard design shines through. The BlackWidow V4 is a gaming powerhouse. With gamers in mind, it features key rollover and anti-ghosting capabilities that prevent missed or incorrect keypresses during intense gaming sessions. The tactile feedback of the Orange switches enhances precision, and the customizable RGB lighting adds an extra layer of immersion to anyone's gaming setup. Its compact form factor allows for better mouse movement, a critical advantage when you don't have a lot of desk space. My experience with the Razer BlackWidow V4 75% Wired Keyboard has been nothing short of exceptional. This keyboard expertly blends aesthetics, functionality, and durability, making it an attractive choice for gamers and computer enthusiasts like me. The tactile and responsive Orange switches, customizable RGB lighting, and intuitive software support solidify its place in the world of gaming peripherals. If you're in search of a compact powerhouse that doesn't compromise on performance, the BlackWidow V4 is a compelling choice.

I've been using this keyboard for the past week, and have been very happy with it so far. It's a bit heavier and meatier than I would have envisioned, which gives it a really solid feel. The key shapes and how they are raised is very reminiscent of those old word processors from the 90s. The keys have a bit of a chunky feel to them, but provide a really nice, soft, tactile punch when you press them down. It's also not as loud as my other mechanical keyboards. The keyboard has a natural incline to it, which I really like, but it did throw me off for the first day or two that I was using it. I kept finding my hands would land in the wrong place, and I had to shift them over a bit. This 75% keyboard does not mean any of the main key sizes are diminished. It still operates and feels very much like a standard keyboard, just with no 10-key, a very minimal boarder and some function keys doubled up. The keyboard has also swappable keys which are incredibly useful for gaming. I haven't had any issues with the synapse software, and the way my keyboard lights up is absolutely stunning. I love that the keyboard is white because I think it really accents the RGB keys. I also really like that the keyboard is USB-C, so I can unplug it, clean my desk, rearrange my hardware, without having to unplug the entire board from my computer.

The Razer - BlackWidow V4 75% Wired Orange Switch Gaming keyboard in white is visually very pleasing. Our gaming computer was personally built by our son and the case that he purchased to house the internal computer parts is also white with a see-through case. So, this combination of case and keyboard go better together. However, the white of this keyboard is more of a matte white rather than gloss white. So, will that makes a difference in what color you will pick for your keyboard, trying to make all of your white components blend and look integrated together. However, the Razer reputation is well-known among gaming products and I expected this keyboard to perform just like our originally purchased 75% keyboard from another well-known manufacturer that is in the same price category. What I do like about this keyboard is the RGB that is installed in its program. To compare and contrast, the keyboard that was originally ordered just lights up its colors, but this Razer software, involved in controlling the lighting, is somewhat confusing at first when using, but once you figure it out it is easy to control. The one thing I am not a fan of with this keyboard is that the keys do not respond as quickly as the one previously purchased. I feel that the Razer keys are just stuck so slightly more, and feel heavier than my first-bought keyboard. Overall, I am giving this keyboard a 4 out of 5 stars due to the key reaction. Otherwise, this keyboard is perfect for anyone looking for a beginning gaming keyboard and for those of us who love to see all our gaming equipment light up and cycle through all the colors of the rainbow as we play into the night.

My first impressions of this keyboard out of the box, it’s a great looking keyboard, the white looks really nice, I think it looks better in person vs. the photos. It feels really solid, when typing, no rattles or anything. The top plate is aluminum while the sides and bottom are plastic. I found the size to be perfect, not too large but not small either (approximately 12W”x6”D). Setting up the keyboard was simple, as soon as I plugged in the USB-A connector, a prompt to install the Razer software came up, within a few minutes, software was installed and I was ready to start customizing my keyboard! The wrist rest snaps onto the keyboard magnetically, it’s a good size and the material is soft. It puts my hands in a comfortable typing position, without the wrist rest, the keyboard feels uncomfortably high. You can flip out the legs to make the keyboard higher, there are two different levels to choose from. Without having them up, the keyboard is still at a slight angle. The keyboard is highly customizable with the lighting and keys controls. I can customize each individual key by brightness, function, text function, etc. This is actually my first gaming keyboard. While I don’t game as often as I’d like, I can see how being able to customize the keys would be very helpful. You can even use the Hypershift feature to have a program start up. Just for kicks, in the Synapse program, I customize certain letters to open the Office applications I normally use. To use the shortcut, press the “Hypershift” key, which is “fn” to the right of the space bar, and your shortcut key. I was able to create shortcuts to launch Excel, Word etc. Such a great feature, so convenient. But all this is just the tip of the iceberg of what the keyboard can do. The lighting effects can range from a simple single color to various patterns such as “breathing” or “fire” patterns, on all keys, or some keys. As a beginner, it’s almost overwhelming amount of customizations you can do. I’m sure with time, I’ll figure it out, just my productivity will suffer in the short term. I appreciate the flexibility of the hot swappable keys design, most likely, I’ll be sticking with these keys. There is so much to like about this keyboard. Here are a few reasons: It feels great typing and I love how the orange switches sound and feel, not too loud and just the right amount of feedback. I appreciate how solid the keyboard feels, it’s not a heavy keyboard, yet, it feels like it’s stuck to my table and won’t move or bounce around like cheap keyboards may. The volume scroll wheel is very convenient, they should have this on all keyboards! This is so much better than the keyboards that come with the PC’s, I know it’s not a valid comparison, but that’s what I use 50% of the time, the other 50% is laptop keyboards. While the price point may be high, it’s in the same ballpark as other gaming keyboards with these comparable features. Furthermore, the design of the keyboard is sleek and clean. The white color gives the keyboard a sophisticated look. As I use this keyboard more, the more I like it. I actually ordered this for my daughter, she may have a hard time getting it from me!

All the keyboard I need. I've always preferred membrane keyboards and never liked the clickyness of mechanical keyboards. But, after testing this out, instantly I knew this is the keyboard for me, I fell in love with it. I am now a fan of orange switches. Typing feels so good. That I want to keep typing. It's quiet and responsive. You can game hours on end, especially with the padded wrist rest. Everything about the Blackwidow V4 75% is all that I need. The only thing that was a negative for me was the price point. It's a bit too expensive for my liking. But, with the quality build, customization and performance. It can be worth the money. Just like all Razer products, I think it's a bit way too pricy and I never spent more than $100 on a keyboard, but I think the Blackwidow is a good enough keyboard, to splurge a little bit.

Excellent keyboard for gaming. Actuation and responsiveness is top tier. Razer lighting is gimmicky but always fun. Would recommend for those looking for a full sized keyboard with integrated lighting, macro keys and other useful easy to reach controls.

Gaming keyboard specs, killer rgb, and wait it’s hot swappable! Ok Razer keyboards have been kinda meh. Huntsman is also good if you could easily make it your own. If you want gaming and custom this is pretty killer. Great out of the box, already gasket mounted and tape mod! Big minus to oem profile caps but that’s personal preference. The orange tactiles are impressive, they feel just like Holy Pandas! I did swap out keycaps to a cherry profile. So if you are wondering about what switches and stabs you can install. PCB is 5 pin! The stabs are factory clips but is set up for screw ins! Someone at Razer did homework. Their first hot swappable is really good. Now make a barebones and a 60% Razer!

This keyboard is excellent. The keys sound great, provide perfect feedback, and you can swap switches if you want! It’s a very compact model. The cord it comes with is very durable and has a nice braided exterior. Wrist rest is very nice. Would buy again.

Rgb aspects are extremely versatile once configured in razer synapse software - live stacking layers to get both active and resting rgb effects. Orange tactile switches are much quieter than green predecessors and the stem-to-keycap connection is solid with very little wobble. Switches are smooth and the sound has an enjoyable amount of thock. Aluminum body feels solid and of quality make. Usb connection is clean and with a single cord, your desktop remains stream line. Multimedia scroll bar can be swr to different functions but the tactile feel of the metal roller scroller as it changes is a nice touch. Magnetic arm rest is better than orecious versions- - strong but not overpowered magnets keep the wrist rest secured in place and easily separates feom the keyboard when you need more space (previous one did not connect). Added media keys are a bonus.

Rgb lights are great and bright, smooth and good sounding switches, perfect size, wrist protected easy to attach and unattach

Originally I didn't think that I would use the little scroll wheel for the volume but it has been very consistent, I don't get too crazy with the colors but it looks like there are a lot of options. I have had some trouble with cleaning it but I don't know if thats an issue with the keyboard or I'm just cleaning it wrong. Regardless I like how heavy it is and feels like a solid build.

Overall nice keyboard that is very satisfying to type on and sounds good. Razer software is okay but the lights on the keyboard sometimes don’t turn on. Switches aren’t lasting as long as I would have expected. I have had three switches in the 10 months I have had the keyboard start going bad already with double/multiple activations per single press. Thankfully their swappable switches so I have just swapped them with switches for keys I don’t use much. Disappointed that I already have to do that as other keyboards switches have lasted me years before I had one do that.

The keyboard is a vital part of a computer's input device, and its design and performance have a direct impact on the user's productivity and comfort. A good keyboard should have a comfortable key feel, a stable keyboard layout, and durable quality. At the same time, additional features such as multimedia controls or programmable keys can also enhance the user experience. Overall, the quality and design of a keyboard is critical to the user's work experience, and choosing the right one for your needs is key to improving efficiency and comfort.

Excellent keyboard, feels great stock and has lots of room for customization with the hotswappable switches. A bit expensive though, and the wrist rest is not the best, but still a great keyboard

this keyboard has all the bells and whistles you'd want in an enthusiast-level keyboard, but with the latency/rollover specs you'd expect to see in a high-end gaming keyboard. the 75% layout is wonderful, although it's confusing the over blackwidow v4s lack the same features. i personally love tactile switches, but they're not for everyone. overall i'm very lucky i prefer the board as-is. the price is steep. there's no doubt about iti. but if you don't want to compromise on feel or performance, this keyboard is a great option.

Just unboxed and super easy to install. Compared to my previous mechanical keyboard, the switches are much quieter, as described, and equally as smooth. I've been a Razor fan for quite some time, and I wanted to try out one of their minimal keyboards, and this product did not disappoint. Definitely excited to keep shrinking my keyboards and get some use out of this one.
