Razer released its first hot-swappable keyboard last year, and now the BlackWidow 75% has gone Pro.
What does that mean?
Its wireless, its got a super clear display window, and its rejuvenated its onboard controls.
Its also very, very expensive.
Doubleshot PBT keycaps feel particularly sturdy under the fingertips.
They also provide particularly vivid shinethrough for the LEDs underneath.
The main chassis is constructed from an aluminum alloy top case with a plastic underside to the rear.
I also noticed that dreaded space bar ping returning to my setup.
The Azoth triples the amount of dampening foam under the hood for a much softer sound.
While sometimes a little pingy, these larger keys are well stabilized with barely any wobble.
Of course, if you just wanted that tactile typing experience youd be checking out the cheaper model.
Razer has packed its Pro machine with wireless 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connectivity.
Thats not the win many might think it is.
This is largely a marketing exercise.
That kind of kills one of the major benefits of going wireless for most everyday players.
If I spent $300 on a gaming keyboard, I certainly wouldnt be ignoring its features, though.
On average, it lasted around eight to ten hours before dying out - a particularly low life.
Unfortunately, this is a wireless keyboard that will likely spend most of its life plugged in.
These are fully mechanical switches with no magnetic Hall effect features or analog dual-step actuation.
Razer has its own spin on the tech, but its largely relegated to its Huntsman range.
Performance
In-game, the Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro 75% feels exceedingly precise.
Should you buy the Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro 75%?
It offers a very similar experience, albeit without that screen, for a considerable chunk of change less.
