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.

I'm considering swapping my Corsair keyboard with a Razer one after almost a full year of daily freezes and wanted to check with the community before I get trapped again.

I was considering getting either the Black Widow V4 or the Pro version. For those of you with the keyboard, is it hassle free? Does it ever crash on you?

I've never had a Razer product before so I have no experience with the software. Corsair's iCUE allows me to save macros and lighting profiles to my devices and then I can completely close or uninstall iCUE and still use the settings I previously saved. Does Razer's software allow me to do this as well? I'd like to keep the number of RGB programs I'm running to a minimum and if the keyboard can control its own lighting and macros without actively running the software that would be amazing.

Anything else I should know before dropping ~$200 on this keyboard?
