Customer Ratings & Reviews

[Employee of bestbuy] Overall: This keyboard has a really solid construction and the key switches feel nice. I opted for the green switches and they are my favorite switches out of any Razer keyboards I have used in the past. The green switches in conjunction with the Razer's signature RGB lighting makes this full-size keyboard a very premium keyboard. Pros: This keyboard has a really solid build. It doesn't feel cheap at all and has weight to it. The carbon fiber looking wrist rest takes this keyboard to a whole 'nother level. Usually, I would skip out on using the wrist rest because it would move around a lot because on other keyboards it isn't physically attached to the keyboard, but this wrist rest is magnetically connected and stays in place very well. It also is synced to the keyboard and has it's own RGB lighting. There are eight mappable macro keys to assign to whatever function you desire. All the keyboard customization (lighting, macros, etc.) is done through Razer's software called Razer Synapse, which is downloaded when you plug in the keyboard. You have three buttons on the left side of the keyboard and five actual macro keys on the left side of the keyboard, underneath the dial. I use these keys for opening up programs and it really comes in handy. Razer also included a command dial that has multiple different functions. Pressing in on the dial changes the function. For example, you can press it to change it to zoom in and out, and then press it again to have a track scrubber. This feature is really handy. There are also media control keys for play/pause, next track, previous track, and mute which is always a welcomed addition to a keyboard. Right above those keys is a volume roller to control volume and the scrolling of it feels really nice and satisfying. Cons: This keyboard isn't for everyone. It is a full-size, meaning it includes the numeric keypad. For me, I don't mind it. But for people who play a lot of competitive games, a TKL is mainly what those people stick to. There is no TKL version of the Blackwidow V4 Pro yet, but hopefully soon. Also, this keyboard is very expensive. At $229 you'd expect a really good, premium keyboard, and that is what you're getting, but majority of people wouldn't want to dish out $229 for a keyboard.

The hand rest makes hours of gameplay or writing an absolute breeze. The design of the pad surprisingly creates a more comfortable experience than any of the other keyboards I have tried. It has the perfect amount of give, where your hands aren’t being swallowed like you would with gel pads, but you're also not setting your hands on a piece of plastic. It’s forgiving, but not too forgiving, making this keyboard all the more comfortable. The design for the way the hand rest is attached to the main keyboard is interesting. It has a rubber material flap that has gold prongs to connect to the main body. It is fairly difficult to attach it, but chances are you won't be removing it other than if you are cleaning or moving your entire setup. Even if you are moving your keyboard around a lot I don’t see this being a problem. It seems like it has a strong structural design where it doesn’t even have the possibility of snapping off like you would with a plastic clip like design. The gold connection points allow for RGB to go all the way around the keyboard. The keys caps have a tactile feel, a smooth font, and are designed so that you won’t leave fingerprints. The caps are by no means slippery, but they aren’t grippy to an extreme like you would find on MOBA key caps. The design is just well balanced and feels great. The GREEN switches have a great sound to them. The combination of the solid feel of the switches and the click of the switches produce a high quality feel that I haven’t felt with any of my previous keyboards. Your mic probably will pick up the sound of the sound, but you can always edit that out post production, or use a tool for live production. Personally, I've tried a lot of different style switches. My advice would be to get this (with green switches) over others. If the clicky sound of green switches aren’t for you, I would suggest looking into keyboards with a Silent Tactile switch. They will give you the same feel, but with a dampened sound. I thought I would be returning this when I bought it from bestbuy mainly because I didn’t think that I’d like the green switches, but this keyboard completely changed my mind on green switches. The Razer Blackwidow V4 Pro is an overall amazing keyboard, it really does hold up to the “PRO” title. I’m extremely satisfied with Razer. I was able to get this when it was on sale, but the price point is well within its bounds. It gives a satisfactory feeling that you would find on more higher end keyboards, but for a lower price. It looks and sounds amazing, it has a plethora of features, and is the most comfortable keyboard I’ve ever used. I got this on a whim and didn’t really know if I’d like it, but I’m really glad that I got this keyboard and I’m sure you will be too.

I'll admit that stuff like the RGB and macro keys aren't must haves, but they are nice. I spent a good 30 mins with several different keyboards each in the store and coming from a Corsair K55, the keys on the BlackWidow v4 felt the closest to what I was used to. I almost got a Logitech G815 but I wasn't a fan of the low profile key caps. The price was a bit steep. Personally, I wouldn't say this is worth the full price of $229 (at the time), but luckily I got it on sale during Black Friday month for around $200 after tax. Unless you're willing to pay the Razer tax of course. All in all, solid keyboard. The only issue I really have is I've seen the lighting go haywire sometimes. I'm not sure if I'm fat fingering something or the Razer synapse software is doodoo.

Probably one of the best keyboards ive bought so far. It sounds good and feels good, the lighting is awesome. Cant really go wrong with this keyboard! It is priced high but you get what you pay for.

Absolutely love this keyboard. My husband purchased the Deathstalker V3 for me as a gift for Christmas. I used it didn't like it, let's stuck and lagged not sure if it was because of the wireless but i needed something to keep up with my typing. I watched review after review and decided to give the Blackwidow a try, I'm so glad I did! I poetically won't use everything on this keyboard but I love everything from the lighting, the removable wrist support to the feel of the keys!!! Also, I caught this on sale for $114!!!

I have been a Razer customer for a while. I have a couple of their keyboards, so I know what I am talking about when I write about them. I have a Black Widow V3 Full Sized and a Bluetooth version (I like keyboards). Pros Lots of functionality with Macros USB C Detachable cables USB Passthrough Bright Chroma RGB Green switch Razer Synapse ease of use. Cons Out the box some keys get stuck, and I have to basically use a little bit of PC cleaning solution to fix it. The Macro buttons might take a little getting used to, you might press on them a bit in the beginning while typing. Razer Synapse, if it fails or this is an issue you have to reinstall and hope it works. Value Overall I brought this keyboard to add more Macro capabilities to myself. I like it a lot but the stuck keys right out of the box is a hassle. Had this happen with a wireless Blackwidow V3 also. It happens a lot with Razer Keyboards while other keyboards out the box never need this. 4 out of 5

Serves the purpose of a gaming keyboard. Lights are very vivid. Very comfortable.

Feels great on the fingertips. Lighting is amazing.

I am very satisfied with this keyboard, the quality is worth the price and all the extra features like rgb and macro keys and media buttons are very nice and convenient.

The new razer switches that come with this keyboard are genuinely a lot better than the previous v3 black widow. A lot smoother, and overall immaculate quality! The wrist rest is extremely comfortable and the fact that it also has RGB is a huge game changer, it completely transformed my setup and the keyboard also has macros which helped me out with my productivity whenever I wasn’t gaming and was either video editing, making music, or just spamming my friends. I would recommend this keyboard for anyone that’s wanting a keyboard that makes a difference not only in the way you type, and interact with your pc, but also changes the overall environment.

This is the keyboard you need! I found my purchase to be everytbing and more than i had expected. It had that tactical click that is soothing to the ear and the RGB lights are gorgeous. The overall feel of the keyboard is well built and has a very sleek design to it. On further inspection the key features with the side buttons along with the media wheel is an exceptional feature that havent found on other keyboards alike. I highly suggest to anyone getting more into streaming and want a full keyboard and a little extra, this is the one!

Just an overall great keyboard. Nice clean design, great features, good build quality, and vibrant colors. Works with all RGB softwares. Wrist wrest is on point and love the magnetic feature.

This keyboard has such any amazing feel. Whether you are a gamer or someone who is looking for something for work this keyboard comes with the features needed, has eight macro keys that can you edit to fit your needs!! Did I mention it’s really aesthetically pleasing to the eye!! The lighting is just so unique from all other keyboards I’ve ever seen. This keyboard has 8hz and it’s absolutely quick for those scores you want.

I was suprised to find a full comfortable keyboard instead of this 60% 70% gimmick sold by "influencers". Your hand rests easily and comfortably because of the wrist wrest extension. Fingers are allowed to rest stretched out instead of in tight quarters with the 60%. Being a full keyboard the key spacing allows for less fatigue while playing and typing. I feel like orthopedic doctors got together to push 60% keyboards to have more clients for carpel tunnel surgery. But your choice i for one will never buy a shorter keyboard with keys closer together.

A little pricy but worth the money. I have had 3 gaming keyboards in the past, but this one is the best by far. The keys feel great, the clicks sound good, it has a comfortable wrist rest and the macro keys are a pleasant bonus. On top of all that it looks premium and has an under glow.

Love this keyboard, keys function well with a snappy noise. Easy to program lighting and very comfortable hand rest!

This is by far the best keyboard I’ve bought. The keys are very responsive and the wrist pad is amazing. The additional buttons really make my PC experience that much better. It is a little pricey but I really feel like I’ve gotten my money’s worth.

Amazing keyboard it's green switches are a perfect mixture of clickyness and responsiveness. Only thing some people may not like about it is how loud the clicks are when typing but personally I like it! Would highly recommend!

absolute 5 star purchase. Tactile but not too loud. Colors programmable love the dials

I brought this keyboard home, plugged it in and the RGB lighting hit me like a warm embrace from the heavens. The mechanical keys are as responsive as a T-1000 tracking John Connor. My wife walked in when I was using Razer chroma to adjust the lighting and immediately upon seeing its glory, was with child. Not to oversell the product, but it will probably change your life.
