Been a fan of Razer mice for a while, have a gen 1 Naga for 10 years and still runs sweet. Never tried one of their keyboards until now. Key response is great and feels nice to type on. Can customise the RGB lighting if that’s your thing. Overall very happy
Very nice and pretty, had fun playing with the RGB and the Synapse software.
Overall solid keyboard with alot of macros and functions. I would say abit overkill but Highly Recommended!
Zur Tastatur: Beleuchtung ist klasse, Verarbeitung auch. Die Verbindung ber Hyperspeed Dongle ist problemlos. Bis jetzt nichts auszusetzen.
Gerne wieder.
The yellow linear switches have really low actuation point and they literally get activated even with slightest touch without any feedback of the incorrect press. I read a lot of praise online specially for gaming however I wasn’t comfortable with this experience so had to return the product.
Otherwise the keyboard build quality is solid, I wish they have more switch options like the tactile one to give some feedback of a press.
Ocupa poco espacio el sistema de bluetooth funciona como si estuviera conectado de forma almbrica, de la misma manera puedes conectarlo para usarlo mientras se carga. La batera dura bastante pues lo he tenido que cargar solo un par de veces desde que lo adquir.
El propio software de razer te da muchsimas posibilidades de ajustes y edicin.
Es un producto de muy alta calidad, las teclas al escribir se sienten muy fijas y estables.
Un producto muy recomendable
I’ve been wanting a new keyboard for ages and had run into this one, the sound is amazing and the quality is better then expected. Came in 1 day and for $148 this was definitely worth it.
I like the customisation abilities with the lights.
The price was good.
I like the media keys, they are easy to use.
I dislike how Loud the clicks are when I’m typing.
And the wrist support is not very comfortable.
J’ai achet ce clavier en toute connaissance de cause qu’il s’agissait d’un format QWERTY, et a me convenait (n’est pas problmatique pour jouer). Alors faites attention, il ne s’agit pas d’un AZERTY ! Il faut dfinir la langue sur Anglais international sur Windows.
Clavier RAZER d’excellente qualit de fabrication, les touches sont robustes et ne s’effacent pas (textures mattes et granuleuses).
Format mini pour un gain de place sur le bureau et c’est plus esthtique.
Technologie mcanique (Green Switches pour mon modle) efficace. Elles sont ractives, et produisent le bruit iconique “clicky” (question de prfrence).
Technologie sans fil HyperSpeed ultra stable et latence imperceptible. Je n’ai rencontr 0 problme depuis son achat.
Autonomie correcte (avec LEDs claires). Peut tenir beaucoup plus longtemps sans.
Compatible Bluetooth pour une utilisation sur d’autres appareils.
Luminosit d’clairage des touches peut tre meilleure (un peu faible en journe), mais largement suffisante de nuit.
Pas de repose poignet (vendu sparment).
CONCLUSION : Excellent clavier, j’en ai eu plusieurs par le pass et celui-ci est mon prfr. Il est efficace et fiable, rpond parfaitement mes attentes. Je recommande.
The keyboard is solidly built, with positive key strikes associated with all the razor keyboards I’ve owned/used. Its not as big as some if the others but still a full sized keyboard. Its compatible with the razor cortex software so setting up the led backlights is easy and can be tied in with any other led enabled devices that work with cortex. As for longevity only will tell, but I have no doubt it prove to reliable as my other razor kit so is well worth the cost.
Everything works nicely and I like the keyboard.
Initially the volume control rotary encoder did not work properly.
Later I cleaned with electronic conact cleaner. Now works like a charm.
Some keys do not produce clicky clack sound.
Had problem with BT connectivity. After few restarts of KB and my TAB, it works without problem.
Croma effect works only for pc.
Only breathing effect for BT connections.
Battery backup is good.
Overall I like the KB
La tastiera perfettamente funzionante, ha un feedback veloce e rapido, perfetta per giocare e scrivere ma bisogna adattarsi agli switch lineari soprattutto se si viene da una tastiera con switch clicky o Tactile. L’unica pecca che l’illuminazione dei tasti rende poco, i keycaps nelle lettere ( e soprattutto ho notato nell’enter ) hanno alcune zone oscure e il logo della razer al centro non ben definito. Il software relativamente semplice da usare, non troppo intuitivo ma dopo poco si riesce senza problemi a utilizzare. Per quanto riguarda i tasti appositi per il controllo del volume sono funzionali, l’unica pecca che essendo molto scorrevole potresti avere problemi a configurare correttamente il volume, ma un difetto minore.
Just another quality item produced by Razer. The company has come afar in terms of improving their products. Back about 8 years ago I said I’d never buy another product made by Razer again after my second deathadder just stopped working out of nowhere. However, today they have improved massively and I’m also back on the deathadder v3 pro/ blackshark v2 pro and this magnificent blackwidow keyboard. I strongly recommend to those who at some point in time were disgusted by this company’s QC to reconsider them again. 5
La disposition qwerty-us standard et le full layout sont trs apprciables dans un monde qui jure essentiellement par du tenkeyless, 75% et autres variantes rduites.
Pour le bruit : c’est un clavier mcanique, a fait du raffut et c’est tout. Tout le monde sait a. On regrettera toutefois la rsonance mtallique suspecte de certaines touches, en particulier le ‘d’.
Pour les touches : les switchs yellow sont assez sensibles mais on s’y fait vite et le feeling est plutt agrable, l’exception du bouton play/pause qui a un feeling carrment bizarre, pour ne pas dire cheap. La molette fonctionne bien mais je ne l’utilise pas au quotidien.
Les LED RGB rendent trs bien et permettent de faire un peu ce que l’on veut du clavier, y compris sous Linux o il est trs bien support. On regrettera quand mme les LED numlock/caplock/scrolllock, qui ne sont que de simples LED blanches non personnalisables.
Le clavier se nettoie facilement, du moins en ce qui concerne la poussire. Il est d’ailleurs livr avec un blister qui peut tre remis sur le clavier quand on ne l’utilise pas. Je n’ai pas encore renvers de liquide dessus (possiblement un effet de bord du prix ?).
Derniers regrets :
– l’absence de ports USB sur le clavier pour connecter facilement d’autres priphriques.
– quand on enfonce la touche fn, toutes les touches s’teignent sauf celles qui peuvent se combiner la touche Fn, soit F9, F10, F1, F12, pause et menu contextuel. Problme : F11 et F12 servent justement ajuster la luminosit globale du clavier.
The keyboard is overall a good buy. The only issue I have is that there needs to be some sort of muffler for the keys as it produced the same amount of noise levels when comparing to my previous mechanical keyboards and the product was marketed as quieter than normal due to the types of switches it used
The keys are durable the backlighting is bright and easy to program. Really happy with the upgrade
Man sollte darauf achten mit welchen Switches man sie kauft da diese mageblich fr die Bedrfnis denjenigen sind, die sie benutzen. Meine hat Green Switches, was bedeutet dass sie deutlich Lauter beim schreiben ist. Habe ich allerdings bewusst fr das so genannte akustische Feedback entschieden. Wer es lieber etwas leiser mchte sollte sich darber informieren ob er sie nicht mit anderen Switches hier oder wo anderes erhalten kann, eventuell lassen sich diese auch austauschen. Razer bietet da wohl auf seiner Homepage mehr Mglichkeiten als bei Amazon an, die sind dafr aber auch gerne etwas teurer wenn man sie direkt von dort bestellt.
Das mit der Beleuchtung der Tasten scheint hier eine Frage des Geschmacks zu sein, ich bin damit sehr zufrieden auch wenn sie nicht “durch scheinen”.
Kleinen Abzug muss ich aber in der Ergonmie geben da die Handballenauflage zwar echt angenehm aber leider, bei der Quartz Edition, nicht bevorsteht ist.
Ausserdem ist sie nicht magnetisch, was mich ebenfalls nicht gro strt da sie auf meiner Schreibtischoberflche fast nie verrutscht. Bei glatteren Oberflchen wie Glas oder Metall aber durchaus fters der Falls sein knnte.
Kann sie auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen, muss aber jedem ans Herz legen die Tastatur vorher grndlich mit den eigenen Bedrfnissen abzugleichen. So erspart man sich eine Enttuschung beim Kauf. 🙂
Una delle migliori tastieri targate Razer, esteticamente assomiglia molto alle altre tastiere Razer, di colore opaco ed presente una retroilluminazione RGB a 16,8 milioni di colori configurabili tramite software Synapse 3.
Con Razer Synapse, puoi attivare la modalit di gioco; imposta la Modalit gioco per disabilitare il tasto Windows, Alt + Tab e Alt + F4; cambiare la luminosit dell’RGB; decidere se la tastiera deve spegnersi allo spegnimento di un display o dopo un certo periodo di inattivit; oppure seleziona uno degli 11 effetti RGB preconfigurati o personalizza le funzionalit RGB per tasto della tastiera.
BlackWidow V3 Tenkeyless supporta anche HyperShift, che assegna a ciascun tasto una funzione secondaria se si tiene premuto il tasto designato come HyperShift in Synapse.
La cattiva notizia che la tastiera non dispone di memoria integrata; le modifiche vengono salvate solo in Razer Synapse.
La tastiera fatta in plastica, tranne nella parte superiore che in alluminio.
Razer vende due diverse versioni di BlackWidow V3 TKL: una con i suoi interruttori Razer Green cliccabili e l’altra con i suoi interruttori Razer Yellow lineari. (Gli interruttori tattili Razer Orange non si trovano da nessuna parte.) La nostra unit di prova stata dotata degli interruttori Razer Green (si apre in una nuova scheda), che presentano una forza di attivazione di 50 g, un punto di attivazione di 1,9 mm, una differenza di 0,4 mm tra l’attivazione e punto di ripristino con una corsa totale di 4 mm.
Gli interruttori lineari Razer Yellow lo cambiano a 45 g, 1,2 mm e 0 mm con una corsa totale di 3,5 mm. Si dice che tutti gli interruttori meccanici di Razer abbiano una durata fino a 80 milioni di battute.
La scelta dell’interruttore qui alla fine dipender dalle preferenze. I giocatori preferiscono spesso gli interruttori lineari, mentre gli interruttori tattili sono popolari per la digitazione e gli interruttori cliccabili danno un feedback piacevole ma forte. Gli interruttori cliccabili di Razer hanno sicuramente fornito in tal senso.
I would give this product 5 stars, if it wasn’t for the arm rest. From the images, I thought it looked quite soft. I was wrong about that, it’s plastic, that’s on me for not checking before ordering though. The plastic however on the rest, feels extremely cheap, like it will fall apart very easily. Also, the colour of the rest doesn’t match the keyboard…
Also this isn’t really a gripe in my case as i think it looks really pretty either way, but it’s worth throwing in the info that the keyboard will not look as bright as the images unless your lighting is crazy good
First impressions of the keyboard and it’s pretty good. Typing feels nice and is quiet compared to my Keychron so the dampening is doing wonders. Pricey but got it on sale for 123. USB-C, 2.4GHZ and Bluetooth which is great but Razer only offers mechanical switches however it would be better if they offer their optical switches.
Small and compact how all keyboard should be. Made out of a solid material. Only down sides are it is the keys are very sensitive and they say 200 hours battery life but it’s more like 30
I use this keyboard work college work but also on my ps5, first off the 3 connection types are not somthing commonly seen with many other keyboards as well as the 65% keyboard key factor i was looking for similar to a laptop. as their is no fail to how to connect it works with the PS5 via 2.4ghz dongle or wired . Next the build Quality is sturdy as the frame is made from metal and the keys are on fine and can also easily be taken off.
The ability to customise the Rgb lighting in the razer chroma app is great but also razer sells some keypads you can buy I hope to get the phantom key kaps.
They keys sound really nice and decently clicky which is always good and what you want from a keyboard.
Overall I am very happy with the product and its worth the amount on Amazon when on offer.
Amazing keyboard, the only down side is the armrest not having a soft padding, but you can choose to use it or not as it’s not attached which I find good. The keyboard feels amazing Weither it’s just typing or playing games which I really like.
He’s been playing certain games like the clappers, and thus far he’s commented that this keyboard is exactly what he wanted.
After streaming a few sessions he says his audience (mostly his mates) commented that they could hear the keyboard as he leapt about in the games shooting the wotsits out of everything that moved.
That’s the key observation though, the gameplay has definitely gone up a notch with the responsiveness of this keyboard so all’s great in that regard.
I’ve always loved Razer keyboards and this one is no exception! The pink really stands out with the RGB and the keys sound amazing!
Good clicky clacks. I use this for gaming and for crying over essays, is brilliant for both. The wrist rest is a nice addition and gives you support when you need it the most. Perfect for those mental breakdowns over summative season (gives good hugs). Scroll to adjust volume is awesome and something I like a lot. Several different modes on the keyboard and many different light options using the razer synapse app. I’ve managed to link them to my Razer kitty headphones so the lights match each other. A very good purchase.
Bought as a gift for my partner, this seems to be one of the few high quality mechanical keyboards you can get in pink without going custom. The actuation force of the green switches is a little stiff for my preference but some wont mind this/will have a preference for this. Good quality build with some good customisability for fans of rgb.
for typing and programming the key layout is great for the UK Layout however the US layout is horrific (half size enter button and shifted parenthesis keys).
the chroma is quite a nice touch, doesn’t require much setup to get it to sync with the computer but it did cause quite a few issues on restart with synapse crashing out a lot (resolved itself quite quickly after a replug).
other than this the keyboard has been great. everything is up to scratch and the build quality is surprisingly good for razer; this doesn’t feel like a cheap keyboard at all.
as mentioned above the feedback through the switches is comparible to heavy blue switches, so entering the relm of buckle spring in terms of typing speed and user feedback; fast but slowed down on occasion because the actuation force is notable. (im typically use to MX browns ).
The goods are what anyone expects, decent switches, I have become a clicky lover, I’ve had blacks, reds and browns prior, now im on razers own greens (basically blues) and the stabilisers around the cherry + add a lot of support to stop biggers keys like the right shift or alt keys from having any real flex or “lean”.
Brightness is great, software is excellent to set up some real custom styles, personally I like solid and done profiles, but it exists for those who want a display.
Media buttons do the job, nice scoll wheel for volume, the cable can be routed to go to the right of left in a channel, or left mid standard.
Get this in a sale, get some PBT keycaps and you’ll have a awesome typing experience.
My 14 year old daughter is a dedicated gamer and she’s extremely impressed with this keyboard. First impression when taking it out of the box it was clear to see it was a quality product, it looked great and felt solid. It performs extremely well, the keyboard keys sound great and it looks beautiful with the background lighting. Everything about this keyboard is fantastic and it’s certainly worth the money, there’s absolutely no comparison to other keyboards on the market. My daughter has told me it’s perfect for gaming and the wrist rest makes such a difference. She loves everything about it.
I have another keyboard with Cherry MX Brown switches and I prefer the sound and feel of the Cherry switches. However, I do enjoy the Razer keyboard and I can recommend it especially for someone who enjoys a very clicky keyboard.
She loves it so that says it all, being a gamer she knows good quality and products.
I can compare this keyboard with Corsair k57 Wireless. The battery of the k57 is far better lasting more than 2w for my use case (developer), and as stated in the manufacture manual, you can replace its battery by following instructions. I was not able to find such info for the Blackwidow, and on top of that, its battery last for around 3 days, before I need to charge again. However, blackwidow has mechanical keys, they are indeed good for typing (my first mechanical keyboard), and could be the cause for higher energy consumption. K57 does not have them. The point that made me, sticking with this model instead of k57′ was the Aurora RGB compatibility in wireless mode. Blackwidow works perfectly fine, with any RGB profile, without cables attached to it. In that way I can syncronize wired and wireless devices RGB to my will. K57 lacks this feature, when used in wireless mode. Finally, the wrist rest pad in Blackwidow cannot be attached to the keyboard like k57. I use this keyboard in my lap, and thus it is very hard to accomodate the resting pad + keyboard when typing.
My first razer yellow switches, the activation distance is very low, less than cherry red I think, which is good for gaming, but when typing, I currently miss press quite a bit. I just need to get used to it.
For the keycaps, you can see the construction under some letters which makes it look like there are black lines or dirt on the letters. You only notice this when looking closely but a little annoying if you are gonna stay with those keycaps.
With the brightness on 20%, it lasts me about 2.5 days, I use it over 12 hours a day for work and gaming. But does charge to max in 2 hours which is quite quick.
This is my 2nd razer keyboard, my first being the Blackwidow V2. A great upgrade.
love this only the clicky one was on sale during prime day but i can deal with that lol
The best keyboard I have ever used! Easy to set up, not too large, adore the mechanical keys.
1. This keyboard feels amazing to type on. The Razer Green switches in my opinion are better than the Cherry MX in feel. Since using this my precision has gone up a lot when typing.
2. Software is pretty good. The customisability in Chroma is excellent with more options than you can count.
3. Gaming on this is noticeably different from using a membrane.
4. Hypershift lets you set your own macros without the extra macro keys.
Bad:
1. When you move the keyboard between PC’s it does not keep the RGB effect that you customised. This needs the Synapse software on both PCs to have the RGB customisation stay.
2. No USB or Audio passthrough
3. Keyboard height is slightly high for a TKL keyboard, but this can be mitigated with a good palmrest which i use anyways.
Note: The Razer logo at the bottom does not light up , it only does this on the ultimate edition. Found this out later as the Razer page shows that it lights up.
After a year and several months, lots of the keys started double-clicking (you press once, it types twice, or more). Also, the volume rotatory wheel started doing something by itself (a known problem of those, as I found out at the Razer Insider forum). I think this is not something to expect from the premium device. Luckily, Amazon has replaced my item and the new one doesn’t have any problems. Will see what happens in a year. Anyway, one star less now.
BlackWidow V3 Pro was not the first choice when considering a new keyboard, but I really liked it a lot as soon as got one.
Pros:
– It is super nice for typing or any other usage. Yellow switches are soft enough not to apply too much force but still feel every click.
– The wrist rest that you get with the keyboard is soft and feels good. I didn’t have a wrist rest before to compare, but using this one didn’t require any effort from my side and feels better than without it.
– Connectivity is really great. Switching from Razer’s wireless connection to one of the Bluetooth profiles takes not more than you need to spend clicking the switch on the keyboard. Also, being able to connect 3 different Bluetooth devices and switch between them is a nice point.
– The USB Type C cable is nice and much appreciated from my side (since this one is much easier to find nowadays). Also, the one that comes with the keyboard is long enough.
– Per-key RGB is fun. As a person who likes everything being colourful, I have spent several days playing with it.
– You can reconfigure almost every key of the keyboard using Razer software.
– It has several additional keys (previous, play/pause, next) and a volume control wheel/button. Those can also be reconfigured.
Cons:
– Yellow switches are not as silent as you can expect from official webpage promises. I would call them “regular” when talking about the noise level.
– If the cable is connected, you cannot use either Hyperspeed connection or Bluetooth. I would prefer to have the possibility to switch between all 3 types of connectivity.
Other comments:
– Regular price tag of 250 EUR is high. But I got the keyboard for 160 EUR, so it was a nice choice.
– I saw a lot of comments about bad and buggy Synapse software. Should notice that I didn’t have any problem with this keyboard and the software.
– Box in which it’s shipped is really large and everything is nicely packed. Feels like Razer does care you will like everything for the premium price.
– You get a set of stickers in the box.
Overall I like this keyboard a lot. I would give it 4 out of 5 stars if I bought it for 250 EUR. Those yellow switches are not as silent as I would expect from all the advertising. But for 160 EUR it is a really great choice and does deserve 5/5.
