Blackwidow V4 Pro Line

The only reason I bought this was because my original Black Widow Chroma V2 got drenched in tea. So I go on the hunt and find out they no longer make that keyboard. I purchased two other Razer keyboards and even though they were great, nothing to me beats the Black Widow keyboards. The comfort of the wrist rest is great and it doesn't matter if I'm working, cruising the net or gaming, it's a comfortable go. I do love the color picking ability and I keep it on one color for everything and it looks awesome! You will have to be careful of the buttons on the left side of the keyboard but other than that the smoothness of typing is great. I am a very particular person when it comes to what my keyboard feels and sounds like. Yes, this is a "clicker" keyboard and I absolutely love that. The speed of typing is awesome, the response time keeps you moving, so no complaint there. The biggest complaint I have is the software. I never had a problem with it keeping my settings, starting back up after a reboot, opening up in general. I have all the buttons clicked for it to start up at boot, log in and everything, but 9 times out of 10 I have to open it back up, log in to Synapse and then it starts doing what I want. Also, I truly miss the Chroma extras of the headphone jack and usb port on the right side. This does have a usb port on the back, but you tend to forget about it because of the location. So, everything is great about this keyboard, some things take a little getting used to, like the roller wheel volume control, but like all new things it will grow on you. Is it worth the money, that all depends on your own personal preference. I broke down and spent the money because I knew I would be happy with keyboard and will last for years, as long as I don't spill tea on it.

Another great product from Razer, and since all of my gear is Razer, it only made sense to go with a Razer keyboard. I have the Green switches, and I've seen a few reviews of people saying how loud the green switches are, and I can tell you from experience, they are not as loud as I was expecting them to be. Razer says these are the Gen 2 Green Switches and are supposed to be better. A friend of mine has an older Razer keyboard with green switches and his keyboard is a bit louder than mine. I guess over time the keys will feel different and may sound a bit louder, but for the time being the tactile and clicky sound and feel is acceptable. Granted, I wouldn't recommend using this keyboard in an office or a school setting, but for everyday use, this keyboard is perfect. I haven't had a chance to use the keyboard to its full potential yet, but it does come with just about everything but the kitchen sink. There are a few miner annoyances with this keyboard. First of all, the Command Dial is too close to the Esc key, I think Razer could have left a bit more room between the two buttons. Secondly, it's very easy to accidentally press the 3 macro keys on the left-hand side of the keyboard, so I have mine disabled. Someone may find 8 macro keys useful, however, I think it's a bit overkill. Last but not least, you can tune this keyboard's polling rate all the way up to 8000 Hz, but realistically speaking, there is no real-world advantage to this, so for all intents and purposes, I feel 2000 Hz of polling is adequate for most users--gamers and everyday users, alike.

Very good keyboard, very beautiful to look at and sounds amazing. And always with razer, good build quality

Tanto para el trabajo como para juegos cumple con su función. Aun no aprovecho los diferentes perfiles o teclas de macros que puedes configurar, pero considero que para diferentes disciplinas funcionan muy bien. Las luces y sus patrones son muy buenos. Una de las ventajas es que con algunos comandos en el teclado puedes cambiarlos sin acceder a la aplicación de Razer, y si tienes más productos Razer queda muy bien. La almohadilla sí ayuda a descansar las muñecas. Los switches verdes tienen un sonido muy bueno de clic, para alguien que disfruta que se escuche, no son silenciosos.

I will add to the growing list of people who were immediately impressed by the quality, feel and aesthetic of the V4 Pro but have now started developing double-typing, delay, and no-input issues with random keys. For myself, it is the W key (and as I am currently typing on the keyboard awaiting a replacement, I have to go back and manually delete a second "w", or press the "w" key a second time, about every other time you've seen a W in this post so far. Very, very annoying). This issue renders the keyboard functionally unusable for gaming and most work functions. This is absolutely unacceptable for a 300+ CAD product, especially at the rate at which people are reporting the issue, it indicates a massive flaw in Razer QC rather than a few isolated cases. Some people are even experiencing issues with RMAing for a replacement, which is a further pain to have to deal with an unresponsive and/or inept Customer Service team. Razer must respond to all the concerns and issue some sort of solution here. The Blackwidow V4 Pro should be their flagship gold-standard keyboard at the price they are asking for, and its basically going to be a paperweight on my desk until a replacement shows up. If I were you, considering to purchase this product, I would wait until Razer has responded in some fashion. All this is coming from someone who considers themself a razer fan - I was hoping their shoddy QC had improved in recent years, especially with their higher-end products, but apparently not.
