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.

A Closer Look Part II

BlackWidow Lite does feature a professional look with an all-black color scheme, along with a TKL form factor; even if the textured top layer looks like plastic at first, upon a closer inspection you will find out that it is made of aluminum, a feat we have also seen with high-end CORSAIR keyboards:

The function keys do also present themselves with additional multimedia controls; since the keys can be mapped with many other different functions, Razer saw fit not to light up the additional functions of these keys, so only the F1-F12 text is made so light can shine through:

The F11 and F12 keys can be also used for setting the brightness of the LED lighting:

On the top area of the directional keys, we will be able to spot a subtle Razer logo:

A look on the side of the keyboard does show that the keys are placed a bit at an angle:

In the frontal area of the keyboard, we find no other interfaces besides the USB; the Razer switches do also feature a semi-transparent lip on the upper area, where white LED light does shine through:

The bottom layer of the keyboard is made of textured black plastic and large square rubber feet are placed in each corner:
