The BlackWidow V4 75% is easily the best, most thoughtful keyboard I’ve used from Razer. I would have loved the chance to buy a board like this when I was first starting in the hobby. If you’re looking for an accessible and fuss-free case that you can grow with as you learn about the sound and feel you want from a mechanical keyboard, this is the one to buy.

The Razer BlackWidow V4 75% tries to be the best of all keeb worlds. It offers a lot of modding versatility with the ability to hot-swap the switches while providing an excellent typing experience and a polling rate that will keep up with the speediest of switches, though the proprietary orange ones that come stock do feel a little slow.

The latest version of Razer's BlackWidow mechanical gaming keyboard is small, with a quarter of the full-size version chopped off, but what's left is one of the most satisfying scaled-down typing experiences you can find.
