Razer BlackWidow V4 Mini Wireless Hot-Swap Gaming Keyboard, Orange Switch

I wouldn't wish this keyboard on my worst enemy. It's tiny and all the keys are mashed together. You have to use the fn key just to use your F keys or even something as simple as volume and play.Why do I have and use this keyboard? For a HTPC where real estate on a lap desk is at a premium. That is why I am giving it 5 stars, because it serves that role perfectly.It is heavy so it stays put. It's rechargeable battery lasts forever even with the LEDs on. It connects via Bluetooth, which was a requirement because my HTPC is completely out of USB ports for a proprietary dongle. The build quality

This keyboard is genuinely amazing, it’s actually so beautiful especially in the dark. The build quality is really good and the weight is perfect for the specs it has, and since it’s 65% you get arrow keys and macro keys.I got this on sale for 87. The price could go down a tad bit but it’s Razer. The battery life could be a bit better but it’s all good. Expect 20 - 30 hours on a full charge with RGB on. With RGB off you can go about a week on a full charge. The Razer orange switches sound really good too.You get a free switch and keycap puller, and free Razer stickers included.

Razer Synapse keeps causing my computer to freeze and shut down. I tested my PC with a fresh Windows install for a week without any problems. As soon as I installed Synapse for the keyboard, the freezing and random shutdowns started happening again.The keyboard was connected through the USB dongle the whole time. I also tried it on a Dell Precision computer and experienced stuttering, so I stopped using it there because I didn’t want to risk the data on that machine.One of the shutdowns caused me to lose important data that I couldn’t recover. I can use the keyboard wired without Synapse, but

delivers the responsiveness and low latency of Razer HyperSpeed Wireless, plus Bluetooth support for easy multi‑device connection, so you can jump into games or switch between work and play with zero fuss. The hot‑swappable design is a huge bonus it lets you customize your switch feel without soldering, which is ideal if you like tweaking your setup over time.The Phantom pudding keycaps and strong RGB lighting really shine in RGB‑enabled games and make your setup pop, while the pre‑installed tactile switches strike a nice balance between typing comfort and gaming responsiveness.

Changing from a huntsman mini because I now need a wireless solution. Immediately impressed with the layout compared to the huntsman. Feels like smarter placement for some alternate functions and adds back the arrow keys which I was sorely missing. 65% seems to be the sweet spot for a compact keyboard with few compromises. Can’t speak to the battery until I go thru a few cycles. I only use 5% brightness on the lights and modest power saving settings so I expect it to be great. Also… Hot swappable switches on a Razer? Whaaaaat? The orange Razer switches feel great anyways but nice to be able to

I upgraded from the v3 version of this keyboard to v4, and I do not regret it one bit. v3 always bothered me, because the keys felt like the liked precision. They had good key travel, but they did not react well when precision was needed for activities like driving or bunny hopping in a video game. The v4 is perfect; it is performing way better at precision activities. I find holding the shift key to be a lot less strenuous on the v3 or the v4. The v4 is absolutely worth the upgrade and is a bargain at its current price.

I bought this keyboard over a year ago and it has seen daily use. The keys still feel amazing and there has been no normal wear and tear. They built this thing to last! I usually keep it plugged in so I don't have to deal with battery life, but this thing has been a solid unit for my PC!

I LOVED this keyboard, I have a full size wired version. So barring what you're about to read, the keyboard couldn't have made me happier. Here's what happened:The lights on this died after 30 days. A disappointment, but I just ordered a replacement. The replacement lasted about 24 hours. Seriously, it died that quick. This thing is way too expensive for that.
