Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2023-05-11

After customizing the keyboard with our own settings, we did play some missions in Mass Effect Andromeda, Dying Light 2, Star Wars: The Old Republic but also World of Warcraft; we did really enjoy the response and silent behavior of the Razer Yellow linear switches, which do feature built-in sound dampeners, but the bottoming-out sound is further minimized thanks to the included foam in the bottom case, but also between the circuit board and the top case. We found the Command Dial really useful for performing different functions on-the-fly in productivity applications at the office such as Word/Excel, including the moments when working with lots of multimedia content.

Packaging, A Closer Look Part I

Razer has recently sent us their flagship BlackWidow V4 Pro keyboard for review, which is a full-sized “monster” packing a lot of features and can be had with either Razer’s Yellow switches which are linear and silent in nature or the Green model, which comes with a tactile and clicky behavior. Unlike mainstream keyboards, this one includes doubleshot ABS keycaps for additional durability, on-board storage for up to 5 profiles, dedicated Macro keys, a Razer Command programmable dial, a magnetic plush leatherette wrist rest with RGB lighting, a multi-function roller, dedicated media keys and more!

 

The keyboard comes shipped inside a quite large cardboard enclosure, which shows a photo of the Chroma RGB lighting in operation, but also a small list of highlights:

Razer has listed here the default modes of the Command Dial as well:

 

 

 

After unsealing the box and lifting the top cover, we will note that the BlackWidow V4 Pro does sit secure in an additional cardboard frame, while being wrapped inside a transparent plastic bag, in order to avoid damages during transit:

 

 

 

After its removal, we will observe a small black envelope:
