Razer Blackwidow V3 Mini Review: Wireless 65% ??

[@leoneljuarez49]

7:50 I can guarantee you I didn't make it to the end of the video because I'm a fan of razer, I just enjoy watching your content.

ditto ditto and ditto

[@SeeminglyContentPatrick]

Nice profile pic

[@prkr1163]

I like the direction we're going (65%) but I just could not recommend a $180 board when you can get a much improved custom for just a little more.

[@jarodmartinez213]

this basically wireless is cool and all but for a much better experience you can build a custom for around the same price

[@WindowLife.]

id just get the akko near with gateron yellow decent switches decent stabs with a nice vibrant neon color with keycaps to match along with it being wireless for $109 really cant beat it

[@PedroPioLopes]

@@WindowLife. Or, you get a NK65/KDB67 Lite R2 and spend the same as you spent on that Razer and have a decent custom

[@WindowLife.]

@@PedroPioLopes there’s almost 0 reason to do that lmao you’re paying 80$ simply for sound that you will 90% of the time never notice and a slightly better feel not to mention the nk65 alone will cost about 100$ plus good stabs about 20$ switches which depending on what you get can be 40$-70$ plus the modding it’s self will run you about 30$ just for it to being some what good which is around 190-230 even for a decent budget build for what??? A slightly better feel and sound you won’t hear? But aye you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you built it and there not else out their exactly like yours at the cost of wasting money and time 😄👍🏽 why waste my money and time when I could just get a apex pro in that case if I really care about feel cause again you will rarely ever hear it and the apex pro tkl doesn’t sound bad at all really not to mention with getting a custom you don’t get optical switches like the Akko neon of razer you don’t get wireless and you get a terrible software if any software at all lmao

I ended up getting the HHKB pro 2 after your Hybrid S review and its my favourite keyboard right now! Keep up the great reviews!

[@badseedtech]

Oh man, its so pricy but I LOOOOOVE that board so much. Great pickup!

[@Ungabunga2015]

@BadSeed Tech Got my HHKB Pro Hybrid for cheap off of r/MechMarket, best pickup I ever made, so worth it for typing. Not… necessarily for gaming though… @Nandan hope you like your board!

[@cevxj]

@@Ungabunga2015 why not gaming?

[@ol1mar]

@@cevxj could be a number of reasons to be honest, the first that comes to mind is the lack of a control key in the bottom left on the board, also the switches might not be ideal for gaming for some people. Definitely usable for gaming though as these "flaws" are mostly just preference

[@avaence]

For those of you wondering, I saved a ton of money by buying it used from Amazon Japan, it came in like-new condition so I'll for sure recommend anyone to take the jump if you're curious. Topre switches are something else...

[@BigMek123]

Having a keyboard which I can switch between wireless (bluetooth) and wired is becoming essential today when working from home - I can use bluetooth to connect to work macbook, and then use the same keyboard for gaming on a PC

[@emp1985]

got the yellow one for $79 refurbed.... at that price it's incredible, but also allowed me to learn that there's NO WAY this keyboard should be over $120 new. There's no bad product, just bad pricing...

[@SMInforno]

I got it for 79$ yellow on amazon referb and im waiting for it to deliver tomorrow

[@kl10sx]

I managed to find the yellow switch version for $35. It was missing a single keycap, and had some other odd cosmetic issues, though I was able to fix them easily within minutes. Definitely priced too high at launch, but if you can find it at discount it's a nice keyboard.

[@atSLASHY]

that sponsor transition was golden

[@rmfoodreviews2201]

People need to realize not everyone wants to make a custom keyboard lol

[@mintgaming9198]

Currently modding one of these bad boys as a little project. Hope one day soon you'll get to see it. Wireless keyboards are my thing, I'm really about that ultra-clean-desk aesthetic.

[@garrett6389]

I would like this board if they did an optical version. For me the only reason to buy a Razer is the speed of their optical switches and the fantastic response time of their hardware. The only benefit to this board over the Huntsman Mini is the layout which honestly isn't a huge deal especially if you're a comp FPS player and simply want to click heads with as much efficiency as possible with no regard to acoustics or type-feel. I could understand the price point if the case was aluminum top mount or gasket mount but this release feels pretty tone-deaf with the NK65 Aluminum being near this price range and (although perhaps not the same form factor) things like GMMK Pro and Keychron's teased QMK 75% soon to be available.

[@ibrahimmohammed3484]

psa: if yall dont need the wireless, id get a leopold its around the same price as this, but leopolds are built like a tank( on the level of customs) and have THICCC doubleshot pbt keycaps. id reallly like a review from badseed for a leopold 65% or somethin.

[@ajbarrett3661]

Coming back to this video now after Razer announced that all Synapse 4 compatible keyboards can use their SnapTap feature. This is on sale now for $92 and I think I'll pick it up for that.

[@thathorrorshow4126]

I still have the V2 yellow switches and that thing is still going strong. Great keyboard.

[@roadhouseguy]

Great review. I cancelled my order decision when I heard the noise and saw the price.

[@chieth4682]

Some of the other tech KZbinrs were trying to hype up how "good" this board sounds, glad you kept it real.

[@badseedtech]

[@BoostedBill96]

Yo I love that wallpaper during the synapse setup

[@grqfes]

same

[@boredguy4251]

Do you guys have it?

[@popunkid]

I recently got one, and I adore it (green switches, phantom edition). I needed keyboard w/ 2.4 and BT so I could easily change between my work and home computer's (WFH) quickly. That being said, I got mine for $50 (new). The batter isn't horrible, but it's nothing to scream about either -- roughly 3-4 days of constant use, but it's rechargeable. Overall, I really love it. My previous main was a Huntsman Elite, and while I LOVE that keyboard, the tactical feel and convenience made this an easy choice. I also love that it and my Naga Pro can share the same dongle with no issue.

[@Ranger629]

[@progdotgay]

I grabbed a Razer Viper Ultimate because of your reviews, keep it up man! Personally, I would get a 60%-75% but the "enthusiast tax" price markup of stuff for me is just a bit much as an entry nerd. Love my GMMK TKL though. Recommended it to 3 people, 2 of them bought it based of yours and others videos.

[@takoyakeys]

The crazy thing is I never realized how bad stabilizer rattle was until I heard the sound of a modded custom keyboard

[@Shyvorix]

@@mainkilla Yea their housings are usually quite hollow and usually require foam modding to actually make them sound not-echo-y. Stab rattle also needs either heavy lubing or a complete stab swap.

[@asoshkin]

They still didn't fix loss of input on unified dongle. I just got this board and the bug is still there. Oh well. Not a deal breaker but would if liked them to fix this issue.

[@beefy256]

I had massive problems with a Blackwidow board that constantly suffered double inputs for keys. Ever since that board, I have not been able to go back to them and went down the custom keyboard rabbit hole. Corsair boards have been much nicer for me, but then I bought a bunch of other peripherals from them that have been garbage, so now I'm back to looking at other companies yet again. Razer and Corsair also need to stop trying to push their garbage software that has to run in the background and instead just make a firmware flasher that can upload changes to your peripherals and then shut down. Ugh.

[@spruxbeats3254]

After one year of owning a this keyboard the exact same thing happened to me, I currently sent it to the company I bought it from I hope I get either my money back, a new one or they fix it atleast. I suffered with the right arrow key which wouldn’t even register, the number 2 and y key started doing double and sometimes triple inputs 😂

[@arturfil]

I don't understand why they don't use the language design of the razer huntsman with the orange switches and the hyperspeed (or swappable switches). That would be my ideal keyboard.

[@Kryptic1189]

Price is insane. If this were $100 I'd start considering. Wireless just isn't important to me. I do like the 65% layout though if I'm going for a cleaner desk feel.

[@slightlylifted]

Great review! Also, your mouse pad is so good. Blends perfectly with my setup, ordered the day it went live and received it that following Monday

[@rickydossantosjr5840]

Yo what is his wallpaper at 5:53

[@UranTCG]

I don't get why they haven't made a TE/Stealth 60/65%. Why would I want my wireless keyboard to have RGB? They don't even illuminate the only part of the keyboard you'll need to refer to most (the FN side legend). (Also I miss when TE just always meant no RGB and portable)

[@beepovews4392]

I recently built a custom board for $170, and let me say it’s better than any stock keyboard on the market ever.

[@realmusic_enjoyer]

I just feel like the price to performance ratio of this keyboard is just not all there. If they lowered the price to like $110 I could see it being good but almost $200 is just not cutting it.

[@badseedtech]

Heavy agree. I think these major companies are tripping charging this much for wireless keyboard tech. Its really not mandatory for gaming even.

[@realmusic_enjoyer]

@@badseedtech yeah, for something this price you have to have another feature there to make it worth it besides the wireless and 65%. Especially since there are so many cheaper boards that do the same. Also great vid as always

[@Zaapiel22]

How are "dampened" yellows louder than the optical reds in my Huntsman TE?

[@vyFade]

Probably bc of the plate,or the case itself is hollow

[@giglioflex]

I actually have the Huntsman TE and just got in this new razer 65%. The Huntsman TE is way louder, not even comparable. The V3 65% is closer to the mini than the TE soundwise. IMO it strikes the perfect balance between dampening and feel of the keys. The Huntsman mini feels a bit too soft due to the dampening, the new razer 65% feels like a good balance between it. The stabs aren't that great though.

[@deluxesofa]

what do you think is the benefit of wireless keyboards ? (other then for looks), I move my keyboard alot and the cable have never been a problem for me.

[@jamesleung2450]

Man those stabs, I guess I'm too spoiled from being able to clip and lube stabs on my own builds to go back to a pre-built

[@badseedtech]

Same

[@Norvile]

Where can one get that wallpaper... asking for a friend.

[@xxcridonxx7614]

If the keycaps were pbt , had hot swappable switches , and pre lubed stabs this would be a great deal. Just get a gk68x kit with gat yellows/ kailh silvers, and some keycaps and then call it a day.

[@alexp3577]

In other reviews I saw costar stabs, but in your copy they look like plate mounted cherry style stabs, so what stabs will be in review copies?

[@CarlitosJP]

In the US probably it is worth to get a custom kb, but in my country due to import duties would be double price. In my personal case, this kb is """perfect""" for my dual setup: PC + Mac. It is expensive, of course, and there is other options there, but I like the razer aesthetics. I hope in the future, custom kb are more accesible in my country.

[@xxFel415xx]

What’s the difference between the black v3 and the Phantom edition? In Best Buy its priced differently but looking at it it looks the same.

[@videogamepro42]

What do you think is better for the value, Huntsman Mini or the Blackwidow v3 mini?

[@0xD42K]

Can I get a link to the hoodie 👀

[@PrestonsThoughts]

$180 and still has ABS keycaps. Even if they are doubleshot there is no reason to not have doubleshot PBT instead for the price you are paying

[@equinox6392]

Just realized but you teased your mousepad in the Orochi v2 review

[@GearHeadR116]

with the amount of times "dongle" is used, I REALLY struggled to maintain a level of maturity during this video. Great stuff though. I have a G915 TKL, that i got for the same price (caught a sale, ~$180). Without using this board in person i cant say for certain, but it seems like it would be miles better.

[@SamuelJamesVideos]

Are some of these shots the probe lens? If so, you should review it id love to hear your thoughts on it

[@Phenixzero]

1 yr later, now Razer release black widow V4 Can’t wait to see Black widow V4 TKL

[@potatochalbro]

It's funny Razer said the key caps are made so they can sell this keyboard in more markets. Well, they sell it in my market and key caps are still the US version. But your video is great, thanks. Of course no one likes the higher price but why wouldn't they price it high when there is no competition. There are literally just three wireless gaming keyboards in my market and this one is the only one in the 65 version so I have no other choice. I can actually just be greateful they even brought it to my country because otherwise I couldn't buy anything and would have to use a wired keyboard.

[@NalinaAtv]

I got this in the yellows and it feels and sounds great

[@thenotred]

Optical switches are only on Huntsman models. Blackwidow are the mechanicals

[@ItsReaxxion]

did you get the ROG Claymore II to test and review? if no can you get it and review it? i really want to see ur opinion about it :D the biggest downfall for that keyboard is the special lasered abs keycaps, but its optical and wireless with 4000 mAH battery, also apparently the switches feels really good.

[@HonkeyKongLive]

I don't know if I could live without a number pad. I don't use it a whole lot but I just like having it there.

[@aveen1968]

I want to buy the new Razer Huntsman V2 TKL but I thought it would be better to customize my own but I got 0 knowledge of these things.

[@Phillz91]

I was very interested in this to replace my aging full size corsair, so I checked the Razer Aus site as it hasn't hit retail here yet. aud$330! With current exchange rate it should translate to ~aud$230, so Razer has a 40% mark up for their Australian market. It was a tough sell at usd$180, but with the additional mark up it's just a no-go.

[@badseedtech]

Ouch, thats a shocking price point for this.

[@Phillz91]

@@badseedtech For reference the Falchion can be picked up for aud$239 which is much more reasonable considering actual conversion, smaller market etc. I purchased the Blackshark V2 direct from Razer at launch and had no additional mark-up, however their Blackwidow V3 Pro is aud$90 above US RRP (30% mark-up) as well. As someone who avoided Razer until recently I have been enjoying their latest generation of products, but the pricing makes their keyboards a non-option unfortunately.

Im just now sure what to go for at around 100-150$

[@sethdomings9262]

Just bought this board for $110, much more appealing and I wouldn't have thought twice about buying it if it was $180. Love the board but the 200 hours is such a lie. The board is almost impossible to use with all lights off. I personally have it set to white lights and the lighting at 2%. It leads to a readable keyboard while keeping the battery longevity pretty high. I could probably bump it up to 10% but see no need to.
