r/razer on Reddit: How is the Black Widow v4 (75 and pro)? I am a little scared off by some of what I heard.
February 22, 2024 -

I have never owned a Razer keyboard or really any gaming keyboard except for like a red dragon key board years ago, mostly have custom/enthusiast type keyboards but I like razer and own 6 of their mice and want a flagship decked out rgb keyboard that has chroma and can be used as both a gaming keeb and a daily driver for work to kind of round out the setup for when I want to feel like embracing the gamerness aesthsetic with rgb. So when I heard there is a hotswappable 75 percent keyboard with tactiles (an unusual choice for switches but welcomed for multi purpose) I got interested.

However I heard a lot of things about double clicking etc. I had the same thing happen to me when I got the GMMK pro and used their orange pandas. Had to replace like a half a dozen switches, but maybe it was something I did as it was my first time lubing switches or maybe it was just the combo of those switches and that board because the issue never occurred when I used those switches in a different board or put different switches in the GMMK pro.

So I am curious, is it just the switches that are the problem? Because those can be swapped I guess even though I would like to use them. Or is the issue still prevalent?

Also does anybody have the pro version, I am kind of interested in it because I dont really fuck with full keebs much but I like that it has almost everything you could want, knobs, macro buttons, rgb to the max, could work as a daily driver for sure because of the numpad, but the fact its not swappable with the switches is a pretty big down side. Or is there maybe an older razer keyboard or different model anyone recommends?

EDIT: I am most likely going to hold off on the recent line of black widow keyboards or just the v4 pro but am interested in the v3 full keyboard as alterative and will probably get the v4 75 down the road like a year from now if the issues are addressed and was curious what people thought of the v3?

Edit2: ended up getting a v3 to test the waters. It was 80ish bucks. I’ll probably get the v4 at some point.

May 20, 2025 - I can really see the difference between my old £30 budget keyboard and the Razer BlackWidow. The only possible improvement, is if the keyboard had a wrist support option – although I don’t personally use them anyway.

Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro Mechanical Keyboard Review – Pricey but Brilliant
April 5, 2023 - For comparison, a typical keyboard will be approximately 43cm by 15cm, whereas the BlackWidow measures 46.6cm by 15.27, not counting the wrist rest. That’s only a few more centimetres yet it’s surprising just how much more chunky it makes the whole thing look and feel. With such a high price tag it’s only right to expect good build quality, especially from a big name like Razer.

Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2013 Edition Review - Gaming Nexus
Whereas the previous had a little more glossy finish, for 2013 Razer went with a matte finish, which I like more. It's designed to now show fingerprints or smudges as much and I think it does do a better job. Just like last year's edition, the BlackWidow Ultimate is a hefty keyboard.
