Razer BlackWidow Lite Silent Mechanical Keyboard Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2019-06-25

When working at the home office and you have quite a bit of typing to do on the laptop or desktop computer, Razer helps with the their new, compact TKL BlackWidow Lite keyboard that features non-intrusive, all-white keyboard lighting. The Orange Razer-made switches have a similar feel to the CHERRY MX Browns, which are ideal for typing purposes, but do not expect the same level of silence as with the MX Silent variants. For eliminating the bottoming down sound, Razer has included a set of O-rings that can be easily installed by the user on the desired keys. Be careful though when removing larger keys that feature stabilizer clips, in order not to damage it.

Packaging, A Closer Look Part I

With the launch of the new BlackWidow Lite keyboard featuring silent Razer-made Orange mechanical switches, the manufacturer has also covered the line of productivity users. The keys are no longer Chroma enabled, but feature white backlight so people can easily identify the keys even in less than ideal room lighting conditions.

 

The compact BlackWidow Lite mechanical keyboard is shipped inside a medium-sized cardboard enclosure, with the familiar Razer color scheme; we can note from here that the Chroma logo is not posted, as we have seen with other Razer-made peripherals in the past:

 

 

 

On the side of the packaging, we will get to spot the keyboard dimensions (361 x 133 x 36.2 mm), but also its weight (only 660.9 grams); this information is accompanied by the list of package contents, system requirements but also the needed specs for running the Razer Synapse 3 utility. Synapse 3 installation is not mandatory if we do not require key mapping customization or choose between different lighting effects:

 

 

 

Further to the right, we will get to see some words regarding Razer as a company, some serial numbers but also the confirmation regarding the keyboard layout:

 

 

 

 

Some more product highlights of the BlackWidow Lite are present on the back:

 

 

 

Here Razer does note the inclusion of their Orange mechanical switches, that are tactile and silent; these are pretty much the same to the CHERRY MX Brown so do not expect the level of silence as the MX Silent:

 

 

 

By removing the outside packaging layer, we will get to see another plain cardboard box, with a large logo on the top cover:

 

 

 

The keyboard comes with some documentation inside a black envelope, but also a very welcome transparent plastic cover:

 

 

 

Besides the manual, we will receive a leaflet with additional online resources, but also a nice set of case stickers:

 

 

 

The keyboard usage is described inside the manual, in different languages:

 

 

 

Besides the BlackWidow Lite, we will receive a micro-USB to USB cable, along with some extra bundle:
