Would you pay $US230 for one of these?

. A tactile, twisty dial is a pretty big selling point for me, and not enough boards feature them. This one boasts eight default modes for doing everyday tasks like zooming or switching tabs, and up to 100 you can customise yourself. This could mean scrolling through documents, media adjustments, or for folks who like to use art programs it can be used to adjust brush sizes and the likes.

Speaking of media adjustments, there's also a dedicated media roller above the number pad with four buttons set aside for extra controls. I quite like having a setup just for media on a keyboard. It's nice to change those settings without having to go into the individual app. Plus, the roller looks like it'd be fun to use which is really all I care about here.

The last feature I really like the look of is the USB 2.0 passthrough. Sure, it's only 2.0, but any USB passthrough on keyboards is always a blessing. It's so much more convenient being able to plug temporary things in via the keyboard than finding a port on the computer itself. I'm hoping we'll see more USB passthrough on keyboards in the future.

There's tonnes of features packed into this board, but it all comes down to the price. There are after all some excellentout there. The Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro looks like it'll be a much more fancy wireless board for your PC gaming setups, with an equally fancy price to match.

So I had 2 Razer products in my life, a death adder mouse and a basilisk. Both were very expensive. Both of them had severe issues within 6 months of buying, both times I was refused warranty. So,Im not spending another damn cent on those crooks Steelseries has been great so far

Tactile Zealio V2's

How about you make a hot swappable board on the keyboard and we can put in whatever switches we want?

Loud & clackity thank you very much.

If it doesn't sound like a typewriter, what's really the point.

Sorry, but they are both garbage.

happy with anything thats not Razer overpriced and unreliable

Smooth and quiet. Every time. 🤫

Get wooting, keychron or custom. Not this garbage.

For the price don't buy any of this 'Gamer RGB' crap. If you want a genuine keyboard for games nothing else can compete.

Clicky greens for that typewriter vibe

No I don’t like cheap garbage

neither, blues ftw

I'm a fan of Cherry Browns so I like the Razer Orange switches, but they seemed to have discontinued them.

Silly rabbit

Razer products aren’t very good.

Redragon makes on par keyboards for $40

No

No

why is this over $12? PaperclipExe

Nope. Several Razer mice just had buttons die on me few years back and no reply from their supprt. I'll stick with CORSAIR keyboards, 0 issues since.

No

absofuckinglutely not. My razer switches started double typing within half a year of purchase. The software is slow and buggy. ABS keycaps at this price point are a fucking joke. You can get a prebuilt custom for half the price thats gonna feel 20x more premium

Nope. My limit is 150€ on keyboards

lmao no. I'd pay $200 for a Das Keyboard though which is a mechanical with no labels or LEDs.

Nope. I own several Razer products, including 3 mice with dead buttons, and an older version of teh BlackWidow keyboard, which has flaky keyswitches and a perpetual 'squeak' on the spacebar from plastic choice and bent stabilizer bars. Their QA sucks.

Gotta be in crack to think a keyboard worth that much.

The answer is absolutely not. Razer has hiked its prices so high that when they see how much sales plummet it may be too late.

F... NO!

If it's not spill resistant then it's a waste of money.

No it's pointless to pay that much

I got my BW V3 for 30 quid on eBay in like new condition. But don't use it because the software is garbage.

I paid 149cad for black widow v2 wired 2 years ago. No regrets. But this is way too steep price.

Nope

I still need to find a keyboard tht justifies a +100 € price.

already have a 250 dollar one Razer Huntsman V2 Analog

Not a chance.

these no way its that much better. people straight getting ripped off with this shit

Lol nope , once I went with hyper x there was no going back

No.

I paid almost that for my asus rog strix scope keyboard, if it’s a good product and you like it… why not pay for it

I use a compact keyboard because the numpad really gets in the way of using my mouse and I don't like that. Also the big wrist pad on this keyboard is unneeded and takes up more space. It seems like this keyboard was designed to just max out features rather than what people need.

Wth? No

no

It's pretty but I don't want bright LED lights painfully stabbing my eyes or distracting me while I use my computer.

Nope.

My Razer BlackWidow Keyboard works great, so I think I would

No.

Fuck no

idk would I? my keyboard costs US$350 prebuilt

If it was wireless, then maybe I would.

Why not
