The Razer Blackwidow line was the essential keyboard of many Razer fans when they are looking for an upgrade. It generally hosts the best components and technologies in Razer, as well as one of the best designs for a game keyboard.
The last Razer Blackwidow V4 Pro (my examination unit is the variant 75%) is not different. It looks and feels like a modern and complete keyboard with an incredible OLED screen, PBT affected, hot switches and a 4,000 Hz reactive survey rate.

Design and features
The keyboard itself looks ridiculously elegant, modern and premium. And my boy is quite heavy, so it’s probably not something you want to wear frequently. However, it makes the keyboard really solid on the desk, and I really like it.
It is a 75%keyboard, so you will not find the Numps here, and although you get the page and the page down, there is no dedicated house and end of end. This is definitely an excellent game keyboard, but if you also want to use it to work with numbers, you may want to take the full version instead. Those who want more ergonomics and additional office space will love compact size.
It is also an engineering marvel, with diapers on diapers that are really well thought out by the design and engineering team. The PBT Doublehot keys ensure that legend never stops, 5052 aluminum Alloy top for robustness, white FR4 plate mounted on joint that gives you a better feeling of each touch of the key and improves sounds, a sound profile with Krytox GPL 205G0 for better stability and to smooth things.
Now, thanks to the PCB improved by band, you will get these satisfactory sounds from each keyboard pressure from the keyboard (which uses Razer Orange Touch Switches Gen-3). This is something I needed to get used to at first, because the sound and the sensation were new enough for me. The switches feel good, especially for the game. This is not something that I would like to use for a full day of work, because they can be quite noisy and distracting. Switzers also feel hollow when they are in a hurry, although very reactive.
Specifications, RAZER Gen-3 orange tactile switches have a 3.5 mm travel distance with a 2.0 mm actuation point. It may not be the fastest switches, but this is where the keyboard also shines. If you really like the keyboard but want to replace switches with something else to your liking, well, you can. Or if you swear that you never buy another keyboard after that, you can replace switches in the future with new and better. The Blackwidow V4 Pro 75% supports 3 or 5 -pin switches.
I also like the lighting of the sub-LUX on both sides which makes me wish that there is also one at the front. Powered by Razer Chroma, you can choose beautiful effects or keep them solid to minimize distractions. The lighting by key is also brilliant and daring, and I really like the way I can clearly see each key legend on the keyboard in my weakly lit room (I have a 2 -month -old child near my office).
OLED display and control dial
However, there is still one thing (or two) that makes this keyboard very special – and perhaps a non -essential feature that makes the keyboard very expensive: an OLED screen of 2 ″ at the top right of the keyboard. The OLED display looks really good, shiny and fully customizable. I have already met many game keyboards with OLED screens, but they never seem so good. Also, animation!
The functionality of the OLED screen is delivered with a RAZER control dial with a side button to bike between different modes, such as modification of volume controls, adjustment of the display of the display, navigation in your favorite reading list, etc. You can customize the display with animated GIFs, display your current CPU / GPU temperatures, your visual audio, etc.
It’s crazy because you can create and store up to 100 different modes via Razer Synapse, where you can map all the functions (scroll, scroll down and click) on your applications, which makes the Blackwidow V4 Pro one of the most versatile keyboards of all time in terms of personalization.
Battery connectivity and autonomy
All of these are well packaged in this capable wireless keyboard, offering three types of connectivity: 2.4 ghz wireless (with a voting rate up to 4,000 Hz), Bluetooth (5.1 with up to 3 connected devices) and wired via USB-C. The battery life would vary depending on your use, your OLED display settings, your lighting, etc. Razer claims that you can reach up to 2,100 hours of autonomy with the energy saving mode, which deactivates all keyboard lighting, deactivates the numbering / order button functions and limits the voting rate to only 1000 Hz. But huh, why would you like to mitigate things if you have all these nice goodies that are offered to you, right?
In fact, if you agree with the use of the wired keyboard, I certainly suggest. In this way, you can increase everything without worrying about the battery life. Unfortunately, it seems that you cannot define the keyboard voting rate on 1,000 Hz in wired mode, so it’s a bit disappointing.
Game performance
In terms of performance, however, I have no complaint with the Razer Blackwidow V4 Pro while I tested it with Overwatch 2. The switches are reactive, and the tactile and audible comments give a satisfactory gaming experience. Not to mention the integration of the chroma razer, which also adds immersion. The keyboard also Razer Snap TapWhich is great for FPS games.
When the game, I particularly appreciate how the control dial makes it easier to adjust the volume on the fly during intense game sessions. The keyboard response time is incredibly catchy, especially in competitive FPS games where second fraction actions are important. Satisfactory tactile feedback helps confirm each touch pressure without having to look at your hands.
Razer Blackwidow V4 Pro 75% Conclusion
THE Razer Blackwidow V4 Pro 75% is one of the most impressive and luxurious game keyboards that I have tested. It successfully combines premium construction quality, exceptional game performance and innovative features such as OLED display and control dial. The hot inclination changes your investment to the test of time, allowing you to personalize the strike experience in your preference over time.
Although the price puts it firmly in the premium category and the limitations of the battery life during the use of all wireless features are remarkable disadvantages, the global package offers huge kicks for serious players in search of a high level keyboard. The OLED feels useless and not essential, but if you are a player who cares to have the coolest game keyboard, then go ahead despite the bonus a tag of $ 499.95.
Those who are looking for a wireless gaming keyboard rich in functionality, high -end, high -end that can be personalized according to their exact preferences, the Blackwidow V4 Pro 75% is an exceptional choice.
