Razer BlackWidow V4 75% (Hot-Swap/Razer Orange Tactile/$139.99) Review

The Razer BlackWidow V4 75% is a compact hot-swappable mechanical keyboard with Razer Orange Tactile Gen-3 switches, standard 3-pin and 5-pin socket support, and a $139.99 MSRP.

Razer already has our Huntsman V3 Pro TKL covering the analog optical-switch crowd, the BlackWidow V4 75% goes a completely different direction, standard hot-swappable mechanical switches in a compact 75% layout with the function row and arrow keys intact.

Real Hot-Swap on a Razer Board

Razer hasn't always made hot-swap easy to find in their own lineup, the BlackWidow V4 75%'s socketed PCB accepts standard 3-pin and 5-pin switches with an included puller tool, genuinely opening this board up to third-party switches rather than locking you into Razer's own parts.

75% Done Right

Keeping the function row and arrow keys while still shrinking the overall footprint is the whole appeal of a 75% layout done well, this isn't a stripped-down compact board, it's a full-featured board that just doesn't waste desk space on a numpad most gamers don't use.

Comparison to Alternatives

Against Wooting's 60HE+, also new here, the BlackWidow V4 75% keeps the arrow keys and function row the 60HE+ drops, at the cost of losing analog input and Rapid Trigger. Against our own Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL, the Huntsman leans into Razer's optical analog switches, the BlackWidow V4 75% is the more traditional hot-swap mechanical alternative for players who prefer standard switch feel.
