Razer BlackWidow V3 Tenkeyless (Green Switch) - Compact Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (Clicky Mechanical Switches, Compact Form Factor, Fully Programmable Keys) QWERTY UK Layout | Black

Now it goes without saying that Razer are KINGS when it comes to their marketing. Their marketing in my eyes has essentially made them the Apple of gaming peripherals in the sense they put lots of money into their marketing and make their products sleek and user friendly. The build quality on this keyboard is fantastic, it sports an aluminium frame which is sturdy. The keyboard cable that comes with it however isn't the thickest. Now this isn't a complaint but commonly with high end mechanical keyboards you see a thick braided cable for durability but seeing as It will be stationary on my desk I don't see this being an issue. Now, I've used a few different mechanical switches in my time. My first ever switch I used was the Cherry blue switch which was initially my favourite. Then I moved to Cherry MX black switches as my other keyboard stopped working on me :( I feel as if the razer greens are like emulations of the blue, the actuation point on them isn't hard by any means. But at the same time they're not mushy and you won't be doing any accidental key presses when playing or typing on this keyboard. The clicky switches will always hold a soft spot in my heart regardless of if they annoy my friends on games or not :D The lighting on the keyboard is by FAR the selling point, I purchased a Razer Firefly V2 mouse mat at the same time as this to sync the lighting and I was absolutely blown away with what I got back. I've put on this review a few of the colour schemes I've messed around with so far. But honestly it is so nice to be able to sync the lights on my setup to whatever desktop I am running at the time. The software razer synapse whilst subjectively being mildly irritating because of how much ram it uses and how much space it holds on your computer is a nice to use and smooth interface. You can link games to your chroma effects too and have them perform specially in certain games which I thought was pretty cool. So yeah, if the price point doesn't intimidate you and you appreciate clicky switches I would highly recommend this keyboard for anyone looking to purchase. Just consider it's down to preference, for what I want/need for a keyboard it ticks all of the boxes. If you want a quieter key experience potentially opt for the razer yellow switches. All in all however this is probably the best mechanical gaming keyboard I have used to date. Before using Razer's products I was honestly sceptical and thought that they might just be aesthetically pleasing and not up to a performance standard for the price point but I can say personally. I take back that statement and have been thoroughly impressed thus far.

The keys feel great. They're nice for gaming and typing as you don't press keys accidentally as often as you would with a lighter switch such as a Razer Yellow, Razer Optical Red, Cherry MX Red etc. The RGB is nice and vibrant. The pictures don't really show how nice the RGB is as usual. I haven't found anything wrong with this keyboard to fault it on. I can highly recommend it, especially if you are looking for a little more mouse room. Overall, you can't go wrong with purchasing this keyboard in my opinion. It's great. It's nice to have a TKL again after coming back from a full sized keyboard. Happy with my purchase. 5 Stars!

Let me start with the good: 1. This keyboard feels amazing to type on. The Razer Green switches in my opinion are better than the Cherry MX in feel. Since using this my precision has gone up a lot when typing. 2. Software is pretty good. The customisability in Chroma is excellent with more options than you can count. 3. Gaming on this is noticeably different from using a membrane. 4. Hypershift lets you set your own macros without the extra macro keys. Bad: 1. When you move the keyboard between PC's it does not keep the RGB effect that you customised. This needs the Synapse software on both PCs to have the RGB customisation stay. 2. No USB or Audio passthrough 3. Keyboard height is slightly high for a TKL keyboard, but this can be mitigated with a good palmrest which i use anyways. Note: The Razer logo at the bottom does not light up , it only does this on the ultimate edition. Found this out later as the Razer page shows that it lights up.

Only let down by Razers rather process heavy software, the keyboard itself is great. Will annoy anyone in a quiet room as the switches are very clicky, but i personally love how clicky they are, definite activation force, relatively stable stems and double injection ABS keycaps, overall very good.

Functions perfectly and has great gaming features as well as good value for the money Size is the standard keyless and fits well in compact setups

My grandson very happy and it looks very sturdy and love the lights.

Been a fan of Razer mice for a while, have a gen 1 Naga for 10 years and still runs sweet. Never tried one of their keyboards until now. Key response is great and feels nice to type on. Can customise the RGB lighting if that's your thing. Overall very happy

For the first few months this keyboard did well, which is to say it worked. Not a high bar. Then the issues began: When I hit enter the keyboard randomly goes off or changes lighting setting The software has just decided to stop running at startup. I can reinstall it, but it just stops working working again. EDIT No I can NOT reinstall the software. It produces an error and refuses to install. Quick search show people having the same problem YEARS ago. ANY dust or a so much as a cat hair gets behind the keycaps they lose their click and feel spongy. Had other mechanical keyboards and never had this issue. This is the first Razer keyboard and the last Razer peripheral I will buy. It is baffling anyone could make a keyboard this poorly.
