BlackWidow V4 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard: Yellow Switches Linear & Silent - Chroma RGB - 6 Macro Keys - Magnetic Wrist Rest - Doubleshot ABS Keycaps - Roller & Media Keys - Snap Tap

Worth the wait and worth every penny. I’ve been eyeing out a new keyboard for a while being a die hard Logitech fan I thought let me give Razer a try and I absolutely love the clicky keys and the feel. In a sense when typing up my timesheet or sending an email I’m more in tune to what I’m typing because I’ve audio feedback. As well setting up the colour sync was simple Razer software is very straight forward and easy to use.

My son loves this keyboard for school and gaming. We own the older model which is on our computer now which works fine but he wanted this model for Christmas and loves it. It comes with a pad to rest your wrists on while you type. The keyboard is very well made and worth the money.

I really wanted to love the BlackWidow V4. It’s got that premium feel, the RGB could make a unicorn cry, and those six macro keys whispered sweet promises of productivity and gaming domination. I was ready to pledge allegiance to the Cult of Razer. But then Razer's software, Synapse, showed up. If you don’t run Synapse, the fancy macro keys? Dead. Decorative. About as useful as a chocolate teapot. They don’t register as real keys — not in Windows, not in third-party software, nowhere. If you do run Synapse, brace yourself: it will hijack any custom RGB setup you have. Doesn’t matter if you spent hours dialing in perfect lighting through SignalRGB or OpenRGB — Synapse barges in like, “No no no, I control the lights here,” and forcibly rewrites everything, even with Chroma "disabled". It pings your devices constantly and overrides your settings, replacing your custom glow with cold, clinical white — like you're being interrogated by the CIA. My rig went from mood lighting to paparazzi strobe seizure in seconds. I spent 18 hours over a weekend trying to make peace between Synapse and the rest of my setup. I now know more about device drivers and background services than I do about my own childhood. The result? A keyboard that either has working macros or working lighting — but never both at once. So yeah. I returned it. Bottom line: if you want a keyboard that just works and plays nice with the rest of your RGB kingdom, this ain't it, chief. Unless you enjoy being gaslit by your own hardware.

Love the way at the keys feel + silence makes it usable anywhere specially near the wife while she’s sleeping and I wanna stay up gaming !!! Ps. The strider mouse pad is a game changer

Been using it for over a year and a half and it works perfectly, the only gripe is that one of the leds in one of the keycaps stopped working as intended and is only capable of showing red colors. Other than that, is an excellent keyboard.

I have a great friend I wanted to get some things for his birthday for him and this was one of them he has had his eye on this keyboard since they came out so it was easy to figure out witch one to get him as he has wanted this one fora long time. He loves how bright the lighting is how clicks the keys are and the feel of it all. It is not quiet at all it is very clicky and it is rather loud. The responsiveness is super great though and there is no arguing the quality of the keyboard. He loves the design and has so much love for the chroma settings it's clear he's a fan boy of them for good reasons.

I have tried both the green keyed and yellow keyed version of this keyboard; I ended up returning the green keyed one because it was obnoxiously loud when typing, and despite the yellow keyed saying it’s silent, it’s not quite silent but quiet enough that I’m happy with it. It is a little awkward having the additional macro keys on the far left, very used to esc being top left key so I’m going to have to get used to that. Keys are vibrant and I’m really impressed with the color display; works great with SignalRGB for synchronization between other RGB devices. The wrist pad that comes with it feels great, it’s some sort of gel inside with a very soft leather like surface. It feels solid as well and each key acts independently from the others next to it. I feel bad for others with the issues they described with double typing and such, but the like new version I got doesn’t have those issues yet.

Summary: Key spamming/repeat will be a forever issue if you buy this keyboard. Nothing will fix it either. This is not a hot swappable keyboard so don't think you can fix it. Razer will not help you either. Known issue for years (reddit). I've been in agony constantly fixing spamming errors, my pinky hurts. All Razor keyboards have issues with "Repeating Keys" double ee, tt, ww, aa, uu, cc, etc. This has been happening with this keyboard for an entire year with me and longer for others. Settings changes, new switches, re-installs of program/drivers and more tier 1 trouble shooting will not cure the issues. The official razor community has had a thread for this issue open for over a year and is well known in reddit as well. The macros frequently decide to stop working as well. I can say that the build quality and materials are top quality and i love the feel and tactile buttons and the rolling sound bar and mute buttons. But a keyboard that isn't able to function as a keyboard is simply unacceptable. Imagine spending all that money on an brand new quality car and the engine randomly turns off for no reason and there is no way to fix it from the dealer. That's what will happen to you if you buy a razor keyboard for yourself or your loved ones. Until that issue is fixed, please save yourself the suffering and hours of agony trying to fix it.
