Those who love mechanical keyboards and get excited about custom keycaps and switches have reason to get excited about Razer’s new keyboard, the BlackWidow V4 75%.
The BlackWidow V4 75% is Razer’s first entry into hot-swappable mechanical keyboards that will allow users to change their keycaps at will and the switches – all without having to dismantle the keyboard or do any de-soldering.
The keyboard can accommodate any mechanical 3 or 5-pin switches, not just ones produced by Razer and is a smaller version of the previously released BlackWidow V4 Pro – only with the addition of being able to hot-swap its preloaded orange switches to ones of your choice.
Aside from the hot-swappable switches, the BlackWidow V4 75% also comes with the same bells and whistles as the BlackWidow V4 Pro. The keyboard has an 8000Hz polling rate, full RGB, and media keys.
The 75% in the name refers to the keyboard form factor – and in simple English, that means that the ten-key Numpad many are used to having on the right of the keyboard is cut off, making for a smaller keyboard overall.
The BlackWidow V4 75% is available in black and white models, with the black version retailing for $189.99 or R3,603. And the white version will retail for $199.99 or R3,793.
