Customers have good things to say about the BlackWidow V4 Pro keyboard quality, its RGB lighting, and the comfortable wrist rest. Many appreciate the key feel, overall comfort, and lighting effects. Some find the price a bit high, and others have concerns about the software, the fact that the switches are not hot-swappable, and the keyboard's full size. However, the optional USB passthrough is a welcome addition for some users.

It's good, but it just doesn't do it just right.

This is something different, with a completely detachable wrist rest with RGB and lovely tactile switches, it's a decent beast, but it has plenty of pros and cons.
Pros:
- Amazing wrist rest that's perfectly soft and plush for your hands with great ergonomic lift
- Extra USB port on the back which can provide that extra reach
- Amazing feeling buttons (for the most part) with plenty of tactility.
- RGB, of course if that's what your into.
-Smooth and consistent key presses.
Cons:
- Spacebar tends to bottom out a lot, causing it to sound hollow and unpleasant.
- Mounting system for the wrist rest is a little poor, with lack of grip on the rest itself causing it to slip off occasionally.
- Keys are tall, making it hard to see the media controls at the back
- The media controls themselves have labels that are incredibly hard to discern, making it difficult to know what you are pressing.
- The additional mappable macro keys move the normal keys to the side just enough to throw off your muscle memory if you are coming from an old standard keyboard
- The expandable USB port requires you to feed a separate cable from the computer, making it kind of pointless in the end.
-The box is rather bland, with the inside just being standard brown
Overall I would say that it is a great keyboard, but with the massive cons list it's definitely hard to recommend, especially at this price point. If you like the RGB and the tactile clicky switches provided by Razer, I would say it would be nice, but to wait until their is either a sale or a coupon available to bring that price down some. For anybody else however, I would say you should get something different, possible for a lot less since it cost's just so much.

Love my Razer keyboards. I have been using them almost exclusively on my personal PC for over a decade. I still have my BW v2, V3, and Huntsman still sitting here as well. None of them have died - I just like to upgrade to the shiniest ones. This has not disappointed. The media wheel is BRILLIANT - no loss of control, no random volume changes - very reliable. The keyboard has macro keys in a standard column - AND keys on the left edge of the keyboard as well! The wrist rest is very comfy and stay attached really well with the magnetic grip it uses. keys are bright, and very clacky. (Love that). It weighs enough I could fight off a bear with it. (Love that too). Absolutely love this keyboard, can't recommend it enough.

Wow, the Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro is truly a phenomenal piece of equipment. The Razer Green switches offer an incredibly satisfying and clicky feedback, making every single keystroke feel precise and meaningful. I've had so much fun customizing the stunning Chroma RGB lighting, and the dedicated macro keys have completely streamlined my workflow and gaming. That plush magnetic wrist rest is an absolute game-changer, providing serious comfort for those marathon sessions. Honestly, this keyboard has completely elevated my entire setup and is worth every penny for the premium experience it delivers.

I love this keyboard! There are so many ways to create macros! The keyboard is longer than I'm used to, and it took a couple of days for me to stop accidentally hitting the M keys on the left side, but I waited to set them up until then. The wrist wrest is very comfortable, made of a leatherette material.
The lights are fun and very customizable (with Synapse 3) and it is easy to set up macros from the app.
I was easily able to plug my headphones directly into the keyboard.
The keys are loud, but I expected that. Response time is fast and my fingers are comfortable on the keys. I wanted quality and that is what I got.

Coming from an old razer ornata chroma keyboard I gotta say this is very worthwhile upgrade if your looking into getting a new keyboard, Everything from the leather wrist rest being super cushioning and comfortable, the side macro buttons being handy for opening certain applications that I needed right away, typing and playing games is very smooth with each keypress, and the RGB is bright and colorful which is very nice, and having that usb passthrough is nice for pluging in usb drives since my pc doesnt sit close to me.
So if your looking for a new keyboard I highly recommend this one you definitely get your moneys worth.

It has clearly been a long time since I purchased a new gaming keyboard because I was blown away by the BlackWidow. The look and feel is premium, the RGB is sensational and the extra features (volume scroll wheel, the quick command side buttons, etc.) are amazing quality of life features I've never had before. RAZER KEYBOARDS FOR LIFE!

The Last Keyboard You Will Ever Need

This is an excellent keyboard, but I wouldn't expect nothing less from Razer. I love the clicky response/sound of the green mechanical switches and super-fast response times. However, because this keyboard uses green switches, it is NOT QUIET. Every keystroke is heard quite loudly. Razor has other switch styles for quieter key presses on some of their other keyboards. This keyboard is backlit with Chroma RGB (with immersive underglow) and the keys can be viewed in the dark. The command dial is nice, and the 8 dedicated macro keys are a great touch for programmed short cuts. Razer's software to control/program this keyboard seems great and stable on Windows 11 Pro. This all comes with a higher price, however, than other keyboards. Lastly, it is a great for gaming and people who want a sound to every single keypress, like the old IBM keyboards of days gone by (but much faster response times).

For me I love it my boys tend to like the smaller keyboards but I have the desk space and I like the full keyboard. the wrist pad is comfortable, I've had no issues with it, I have an older version I use on my work compute that I would say most of the same things about. I really like the volume dial you can see it on the top wright, alot of other keyboards i've seen have buttons for this but the wheel feels super natural to adjust the volume just how you want it. It's a little on the pricy side but it's a premium product. Did I mention it looks cool, cause it does.

Love this keyboard. It looks awesome and is tough and robust. Keys can be replaced if they become degraded. The wrist pad lights up, too. You can create programmable keys that type out your entire email address or whatever you type frequently. Volume pause and play knobs. Its very cool.

This is my first mechanical, or gaming keyboard, I have ever purchased. I was a little wary at first, due to also using it work work, but it is a solid, well built keyboard. Some may complain about the lack of Bluetooth, but honestly wired is the way to go as it decreases the number of issues you'll run into, plus it is more responsive. The wrist rest is a nice bonus, it is extremely comfortable and removable if you so choose. The RGB backlighting is not only cool but also helpful when working in dark environments. The only downside I can think of is that this keyboard is BIG. If you don't have space on your desk for a big keyboard, then this may not be for you. Also, It requires an extra cord, on top of the power cord you plug into your device, if you want the single USB 2.0 port to function on your keyboard. If it was a faster port, then I wouldn't mind this, but being only USB 2.0 it's not worth it for me to add the extra cable (it does not look great). Overall though, it's a solid well made and well functioning keyboard, for both gaming and work.

The double shot ABS caps are simply great. Macro buttons are really handy. Synapse software has an option to use windows shortcuts for the 8 macro buttons. The mouse like macro buttons on the edge were more useful than I thought they would be. A little pricey, I know. But if you have the deep pockets for it, you will not be disappointed.

So worth it. The mechanical sound, and color is just what I wanted. It is clean and matches everything. The lights are able to sync with my mouse and it’s a good size.

Great keyboard overall! Tons of customization options in the razer application on windows, keys are extra clicky and very responsive to inputs. The pad for your arm is just a bonus feature.

The Razer Black Widow v4 wired is a beasut of a keyboard. It has incredible sensitivity and feedback on every key (even the spacebar which some KBs lack). The RGB is vibrant and overall lends to the design very well. Using the Razer suite of programs makes setting macros and adjusting binds extremely simple. Adjusting RGB is probably simpler than corsair or Asus programs having used all three at one point or another.

This keyboard purchase was an upgrade from my blackwidow v3 pro. It was wireless, but this one is wired. No issues there, but there are definitely some good upgrades to this keyboard.
For some reason my typing speed and accuracy is better. I haven't been able to determine why, but i had trouble typing on the v3, and since this upgrade, i've definitely become more accurate and faster. I don't know if there is a reason for this or not, but it's happened.
Another upgrade for this keyboard is that the wrist rest actually attaches to the keyboard itself, and thus, stays in place. I think that could be one of the reasons i am typing better is because the wrist rest isn't moving.
The lighting on this keyboard is much brighter and easier to see the keys. IT's more than just lighting up the letters on the keys, it radiates that light out from underneath the keys. Makes for a better looking keyboard.
The side keys are nice, you can set them to open up and do what you want in the synapse software, so having an extra 3 side keys, along with the macro keys on the left side of the keyboard is amazing.
The dial on the left side of the keyboard is helpful, but i don't use it so much.
All of this to say this is one of the best keyboards i have used in quite some time.. Definitely like it better than the v3 pro. So purchase this keyboard, i don't think you will regret it!
