Customer Ratings & Reviews

Right out of the box the first impression was that this keyboard is solid. The aluminum top deck really stiffens the board. There is impressively nearly zero flex. Only if I forcefully twisted the ends did I see (not feel) the board give a bit. It also feels well dampened internally. No ringing or pinging sounds inside the board. Key presses are well supported, very quiet, and key travel is crisp, not mushy. It’s comparable to or better than the best laptop or standalone low-profile keyboards I’ve tried. Bluetooth pairing was easy, as expected, in both Windows (with a Rog Ally gaming handheld) and a Google TV Streamer. The Razer Synapse software install prompt conveniently appeared automatically upon pairing in Windows. Establishing a connection is nearly instant upon turning on Bluetooth. I couldn’t detect any latency, but I don’t play competitively enough for it to matter. Hardcore gamers will probably want to use a HyperSpeed dongle (allowed after a firmware update). Battery life is more than sufficient. I basically was unable to run it down enough to care about charging it during testing given my usage patterns. I don’t use the RGB except to provide just enough backlighting to keep the keys visible, and I make regular use of the handy power saving mode shortcut, which turns off the RGB and drops the polling rate. The keyboard is definitely small and light enough to pack in a bag with a gaming handheld or tablet, although I think it needs a cover or case of some kind. For the price, I think at least a snap-on cover should have been included, but as I explain below, I think there's still a ton of value here even with that omission. Speaking of price (and of this keyboard’s value and place in the market in general), allow me to opine a bit. I initially thought the suggested retail to be on the high side, but then I remembered it sits squarely in the same category as other premium low-profile portable keyboards that cost as much or more, and it’s equal parts productivity and gaming where others are embarrassingly basic and underfeatured. When I stepped back and thought about what’s included (RGB, Snap Tap, N-key rollover, macros, key remapping, power saver mode, and much, much more), plus the highly impressive build quality, there really isn’t a keyboard in the category that comes close. At least two other hugely popular brands costs more and don't even have backlighting. Razer dropped a keyboard that pretty much obliterates the category. Basically, if you’re in the market for a low-profile keyboard in the $140-ish range and it doesn’t have even a backlight, it’s a no-brainer: Just get the Joro.

This keyboard is perfect for use with a laptop, tablet, phone, PC, etc that is hooked up to a TV screen or projector. You can type from across the room with a great deal of accuracy and speed. The backlight is especially welcome in a dark room, say a screening or movie room. Another option is a second keyboard for a multi computer setup that has a KVM but one PC needs to have a keyboard available to it 100% of the time. The keyboard will fit in any backpack that has a laptop in it. It is very thin and has great battery life. Key travel is just right for this type of keyboard. The one drawback, there are no legs to change the angle of the keyboard. Flat is your option. The normal apps for controlling colors with Razer are used. It works like any other Razer device, so no shocking changes. You can use one color at a time, you can not program lighting by keycap. Overall, this is a really nice keyboard that is surprisingly comfortable to use. It is great for on the go or about a thousand other possibilities. Anything with BT can be a partner. You can also run wired. The only reason for dropping a star is there are no legs to adjust angle.

The Razer Joro Portable keyboard is my first Razer product and I love it so far. I dunno why the product is labeled 75% portable. Regardless, I only use wired to charge this keyboard use blutooth 99% of the time. I have used this for the last 10 days to be sure before writing my review. The Good: ======== The instant window tab button to tile all opened windows The ability to connect up to 3 devices using blutooth and easily switch with a touch of a button The battery life is amazing The Razer Chroma feature will blow you away (every gamer will love Chroma) The software offers dynamic backgrounds for free Razer is an environmental aware company, the packaging was earth friendly and even the free stickers were made from 35% recycled plastic Room For Improvements: ==================== Fast typing will need getting used too as buttons are smaller for those with bigger fingers The DEL button is on top and not in a standard position like other keyboards There are no legs below the keyboard to tilt the keyboard The instruction manual fonts were way too small

I have two favorite keyboard types. For my desk, I really prefer a full keyboard layout with number pad. It's nice to have quick access to numbers. But that doesn't always work with traveling situations. For that, I love a 75% keyboard, especially if it's thin and light. The Razer Joro fits all my wants in this regard. It's thin, but has a nice density to it. Made of a plastic casing, I suspect there is a metal frame inside as it's very rigid. The keys are matte black, as is the case, and something I really appreciate aesthetically is that it has RGB back lighting. There are markings on the keys for both PC and Mac, and it will pair with three devices via Bluetooth, or you can use it wired. It also comes with a USB-C braided cable, of a quality I have come to expect from Razer (high marks). The key travel is satisfying, but by no means mechanical, and it feels like the mechanism is a scissor or membrane type, which for a thin, travel oriented keyboard is what I expect. It's a good typing experience, with just a hint of rattle in the mechanisms, but not terrible. The keyboard is pretty configurable via the Razer Synapse app, and I've learned that they now have a beta app for Macs. I have this wired to my Mac and at first there was a lack of function, but I had to configure all the permissions for access, and now all the function keys work great. This keyboard is for gaming also, with a fast response to action and while I haven't tried it competitively, I do feel a response in this keyboard that I didn't expect from such a thin device. I'm really impressed with this little guy. The only thing I wish it had was a carrying sleeve for when I travel with it, but it would not be a deal breaker for me. The Joro is by far my favorite travel keyboard now.

The Razer Joro 75% wireless gaming keyboard is a sleek and low profile hyper portable keyboard, that doesn't really hit all the marks. It's absolutely a nice keyboard for the space that it targets, but It's aiming at a really specific crowd. Not being a mechanical keyboard, and instead being a scissor switch 'laptop' style keyboard in an aluminum and plastic body, it gets solid marks for being sturdy and having barely any flex or bend to it. But in the end, it's kind of like they took the keyboard off the razer blade laptop and gave it its own housing. If you use a laptop more than a desktop in your life this keyboard will feel good to type on and use overall, as it's just more of that. But for gaming specifically, It's nothing special. Where this does shine for me though is that it fits easily into a pocket of my backpack, and becomes a great travel keyboard for use alongside my Steamdeck, or ROG Ally. As sometimes having an actual keyboard is really important. And since this takes up almost no space in my bag it makes for a great addition to my EDC accessories alongside an ultralight mouse, and other dongles and adaptors. So even if I am not specifically needing it for my handheld gaming devices, being able to prop up my tablet and type out a proper email is nice too. If you want a smaller keyboard for your desk, and are looking at Razer for their aesthetic appeal, and chroma lighting, I would pass this one up for the Huntsman mini or Black widow mini for the full mechanical experience. But if you want a travel keyboard that doesn't take up much space and feels like typing on a high-end laptop, then the Joro can fit that need. Kinda feels like it's built for businessmen, by gamers though. lol

The Razer Joro is a beautiful aluminum constructed battery powered keyboard with backlighting. The unit arrived in a very nice box and feels premium to the touch. This unit also works with windows and mac machines (supposedly it detects the hardware and activates several buttons differently for mac than with windows. I did not test this) INSTALLATION My unit did not have any instructions on how to use its wonderful features though I found it hidden in another compartment near the included usb-c cable. The print was so tiny that I ended up having to navigate to the Razer website to find resources on how to take advantage of the features. Thankfully the first step going into bluetooth connection was flawless. The unit came with a blinking "1" which is one of the three bluetooth device pairings areas. I went to Windows 11 bluetooth and added new device, pushed down on the 1 button for three seconds and the computer found the device and installed it. At this point the keyboard was ready to use. I chose to make sure the battery was charging at this point. It was at about 90% when I received it. I searched and searched in the box for directions so that I could sample the features. It was hidden in the usb-c box in a black tiny booklet the same color as the box. Who knew? I ended up going to the website and downloaded the synapse 4 program and allowed it to install as well as some other features that like dynamic wallpapers, etc. EXPERIENCING THE KEYBOARD I went to the Synapse program and manually set the keyboard backlight options so that I didn't have the changing colors. I set mine to green. I noticed on this Synapse program that the computers with which this keyboard is attached are noted in a pull down menu. Very nice. Apparently you can save settings for each of the three computers. I did not test this. There are also power saving settings on the keyboard to dim the lighting at preset 1, 3, 5, 10, and 15 minutes. This also applies to the keyboard going to sleep at those times. Keyboard feel is very nice for a small unit with a slight wedge shape thinner at the front near your wrists and angle toward you at your finger tips. There is no numeric pad on the side. I wasn't expecting such, but wanted that to be noted. KEYBOARD BATTERY LIFE I was not able to determine when testing this what the duration of the battery life would be but if another similar keyboard that I have is any indication, I've been getting several months out of the charge with light usage. RECOMMENDATIONS This is a premium keyboard marred only by a lack of an instruction manual with large enough text to read and having to locate the appropriate software to install to take advantage of the features. You can save settings for different games on this which is nice. Being able to connect three computers is another great feature as I find this keyboard to be easier to type on than some of the laptops it is connected to. I would rate this a five if it had instructions that had text you could read on how to take advantage of the unit. My four is a representative of having to look myself for what should have been provided in the box.

The Razer Joro out of the box feels incredibly solid, well made, a very compact/complete package, BUT the biggest issue I have is that it feels like a solid “built-in” laptop keyboard, not a portable gaming keyboard. It feels like a stretch to feel the value here, unless you have an absolute trash built in laptop keyboard, you’re connecting it to a tablet or similar device, or you need an external keyboard that is as compact as possible while still having F / fn keys. The RGB is great, but the fact that Razer felt that you needed MORE utilities instead of less baffles me. (you need 2 different programs to really use any RGB Razer product these days, one to set up/update the firmware of the device and one to control your RGB…) The overall feel of the device is very good, zero flex, but once you start typing or gaming you notice the keys have a slight squishy wiggle to them. Would still pass as a top tier ultrabook keyboard, or "good" tier gaming laptop keyboard, but vs others in the “75%” portable gaming keyboard class, it feels more like an ultra slim portable multimedia keyboard that you could use for some gaming vs a legit gaming keyboard. (albeit competitors are much heavier and bulkier, keep that in mind) So make sure do your research, verify this is what you’re looking for, because you may not be!

The Razer Joro is a well built, portable gaming keyboard. It feels high quality to the touch and has just the right amount of heft to feel like a well built keyboard. It has great backlighting and can be controlled from the Razer app if installed. Most importantly the keys have a nice feel when depressed and not mushy. To be clear this a non-mechanical keyboard, but the keys don't feel like a typical membrane switch. I like the tactility which is a plus for something so compact and portable. My biggest complaint is that key spacing is tight and I found typing on it I was pretty error prone. Maybe with enough time I could get used to it, but my hands are a bit larger than average and found it a little cramped to use. Again, it is meant to be a portable addition and more for gaming than novel writing so your mileage may vary. I do wish it came with some kind of case. I threw it my backpack to test the weight and was nervous about durability of the keys with other things in with it. I suppose only time will tell and I could always grab a case for it elsewhere. Just feel like Razer could have thrown something in for the price. As for battery life, I used it for a couple hours and didn't really dent the battery so it should easily get the 11+ hours in standard mode (50% brightness). Turn the backlight off and you can get a month out of it easily. Overall, I really like it, but wish the keys were just a little more spaced out. I honestly can't think of a better wireless, portable, gaming keyboard which makes the Joro pretty special.
