Razer BlackWidow V3

The Razer BlackWidow V3 is exceptional for gaming. It has remarkably low latency, and the linear Razer Yellow switches on our unit have both a low actuation force and a low pre-travel distance, resulting in a light and responsive gaming experience. This keyboard feels very well-built, and you can adjust the RGB backlighting or set macros to any key using the customization software.
