Razer Blackwidow V4 Pro 75: Is the Pro Worth Your Dough?

Razer just dropped a PRO version of the Blackwidow V4 75 that I liked so much from last year. It adds 4K wireless, an OLED screen, and allows for some serious deep customization. But this price point may be too high to justify the cost.

This is gonna be a great experiment to see who actually watches til the end or just dives out after the sponsor announcement lol

[@FaultyTable]

I'm not gonna watch it I'm just stopping by to say you look jacked 💪

[@Duartzno]

Great video - vicariously enjoying the fantastic paint job on the custom board by Nacho Customz(Sheesh)! BTW I get tons of compliments on the Periphery Wallpapers at work when presenting during meetings - Gracias!

[@CatchiestWorm12]

I was literally about to comment saying that outro on a sponsored video is wild

[@FionatheFiend]

I'm watching until the End. I love all computer tech and appreciate the video, this person has awesome presentation skills. At the end of the day I get to decide where my money goes.

[@Brian.M]

For $300 I would've guessed it was using Hall Effect

[@the12gaugeshotty]

Razer will never use HE. They are focused on their optical analog.

[@yonagunivevo835]

HE depends mostly on software quality, like Wooting or SteelSeries

[@leonard.nicolae]

299? big skip on this.

[@TerminalzPain]

Razer, Asus, they're just too overpriced. Much better options out there, as in quality and price.

[@MegaFUZZY2010]

any recommendations? I don't want to mess around building something, a prebuilt recommendation would be apprecaited

[@hamzashaikh9310]

​@@MegaFUZZY2010 Wooting Two HE is currently the best keyboard. Zaunkoenig M3K currently the best mouse. Both can be bought directly.

[@i_scopes_i3914]

​@@MegaFUZZY2010 Like they said the wooting.... But that's hall effect magnetic switch but typically awful typing experience and wooting features are being banned in games. Just find what you like linear tactile or clicky. Keyboards are like 95% subjective so you have to make the choice not others for you

[@MegaFUZZY2010]

@@i_scopes_i3914 I want full layout, switches that are thocky and nice to type on, don't care if tactile or linear. I liked the Asus snow switches when I tried them

[@billybills]

I had to return my Razer Blackwidow V4 75% 4 times because the switches are crap, or because it was not properly grounded. Each replacement had a problem, and even now, the 5th one has an enter key that does not work. I know I can just swap switches, but I shouldn't have to! I hope the quality of the Razer Blackwidow V4 Pro 75 is much better!

[@dannyjoels1209]

just get wooting bro. Watch some videos on it, I've had this keyboard for 6 months, no issues at all. Stock switches sound great, not to mention blackwidow doesnt even have hall effect. Which is like...why would you not want hall effect.

[@R4GEMUFFINS]

Gateron G Red Pro 3.0 Pre-lubed Switches 5pin on amazon, have had 0 issues

[@DanteSech]

And people say the 80HE is overpriced when it doesn't even have a quality case by default at the price point. By design this makes no sense. Wireless and a lot RGB with 4000hz and screen.. just why

[@jf-lt8hs]

Love the video! But... Why would someone buy this when you can buy a Wooting for 200. Or if you don't play shooters, an Epomaker for less than 100

[@the12gaugeshotty]

$299 for a non-HE keyboard? Razer has lost their dang minds.

[@Eric-nx3ju]

isn't it a Razer version of ROG Azoth with a higher price?

[@SireEvalish]

$299? Just buy a wooting.

[@kodiak4u]

$300 and no rapid trigger is wild

[@ancientslav4863]

Any pro or custom kb you buy will never be the right one for you stock. to bring out most of the kb you need to do mods. Switches, pads, tape mod, caps, stabilizers, lube, etc. Razer, well, isnt it. Maybe an GMMK Pro line for modding or other like Drunkdeer, wooting, akko....

[@JN1NJA]

Non hall effect gaming keyboard in 2024 💀

[@SomethingReallyPretentious]

Bought a regular V4 with green switches about 3 months ago and it's already suffering from the double key issue. So it's definitely not a V4 75 or orange tactile switch only issue. Been looking around for a fix, however nothing helps. Lowering the polling rate to 500 results in less keys suffering from this issue, but it doesn't completely remove it. That's gonna be a big no thanks from me. giving my experience with the regular V4, reading all the posts about the same issue plaguing the V4 75 and V4 pro as well AND a whopping 299 price tag.

[@MrSkullhead0]

I would imagine you would have a lot of your audience say NO to wanting this board, since you started with customs content. But I know non customs people would reject this because HE boards are sweeping the market rn too amongst the normies.

[@chronicmayhem]

The lemokey p1 pro for $114 is a wicked good deal

[@Sly_404]

Hard to beat in terms of value imo.

[@FractalPrism.]

both Razer Synapse and Asus Armory Crate FKING SUCK ive had multiple blackwidow ultimate kbs, razer mice, headphones etc and only the one Asus Azoth which i currently use and love ...but the software from Asus AND from Razer? both are: constantly crashing, constantly updating, still doesnt work. ITS BEEN YEARS but they just cant get it to simply function......its not a complex object like a 3d printer! ITS JUST A KB / MOUSE

[@scorpiogamer7027]

I agree with you about living up to the price,etc. Very much happy with my original white Azoth. Armory Crate hasn’t given me any issues. The NX Snows feel amazing typing. It’s my daily

[@katzicael]

I have the Standard V4 Blackwidow, it's my 2nd one (First got replaced due to the doubletype issue) - regardless, I Love it. It sounds wonderful, and feels amazing. I'm using Outemu Silent Peach V2 switches, they're my favourite switch, replaced my Silent ink blacks.

[@trafalgarlaw98]

I know it may sound unreasonable to say this but I'll say it anyway companies are using the enthusiasts love for gears to overprice their products this keyboard probably doesn't even cost 50 dollars to make but they keep using niche things that won't basically impact your game at all I mean look at the stuff we're on right now , 160 dollar mouse ? Cost of a monitor basically, everyone is using subscriptions to rip you off and so on .. I think this should be stopped at some point cause the products nowadays aren't even as durable

[@R4GEMUFFINS]

(Razer BW 75%) Guess they missed me, cause they never sent me spare switches or reached out. I ended up picking up Gateron G Red Pro 3.0 Pre-lubed 5pin. I went back to my purchase, and seems my review is no longer there either. lol

[@underdoglucifer]

I always felt for a gaming keyboard less is more. Keep the multimedia function which general consumer enjoy and making sure battery life and performance is top notch, plus hotswap capability with different switch option with some backlighting is good enough. I think is just a perspective on what actually gamers need and how you can deliver a quality and very functional product at a competitive price. I think consumer are wiser on how they spend their money. Not more throwing money just because it is associated with a brand anymore.

[@lazyn8]

lmk if you can actually feel a difference in 1khz and4khz or even 8khz on keyboards bc i feel no difference but on mice i can $300 for no analog or lazer switches???

[@Krusade36]

wireless has become a huge checkmark for me on my personal and work set ups. Features are cool on this but that battery life is a huge turn off. Steep price point as well. I was hoping for this keyboard to check a few more boxes. And I’m def not sweaty enough for HES to really drive it home. Good looking board tho and solid review.

[@cemitech7638]

This was a decent review; holding Razer accountable for the trash pricing at the end was terrific. I'd like to see more accountability for these gaming companies that use weak aluminum alloy top plates that easily smudge and show wear over time (my previous blackwidow even after wiping it several times had smudging and finger oil marks around the top plate).

[@c0ffeefather]

Video proves his audience right now is not the target audience for this niche board 🤣 aint hyper competitve, aint mega premium at a good price. Just a good footprint or a decent nicer board with a familair name to it, thats all this board is. I like it but as a Mode keyboard owner I probably could never.

[@Doggie64]

Got to compliment you on your honest opinion about the newer vs older board. I do like that visual screen and the versitility of it. But, yeah, the price/value of $100 more isn't worth that screen imo. Great video again...woof.

[@269bp]

There's so many better quality and way cheaper customizable keyboard options now that it makes no sense to spend $300 ++ on a big brand one.

[@Bovineicide]

idk, why wouldn't you get the evo80 for a lower price point? Five bucks says the ball-catch mechanism is going to get imitated like crazy, too.

[@genericpootis9811]

Question for yall is the viper v3 pro and huntsman v2 usable in synapse 4 all other huntsman and vipers are listed but those two in the official list?

[@GRADERBLADE1]

Wish there were more 96% keyboards. I need a 10 key as an accountant but having the smaller footprint at the same time is super nice

[@AwesomeKenneth240]

Thanks for keeping all of us out of the loop informed on the more expensive and higher end stuff. You have saved me a ton of money by letting me get the rundown without having to buy this stuff.

[@dinckelman]

Razer must be sick in their heads to mass-produce this, and pretend it’s worth the money, for 300

[@simonseznyc]

FYI, Razer Blackwidow V4 was a total garbage with failing switches for $199

[@SimonVassallo]

A Chilkey ND75 @ $99 is the better keyboard. Each to their own to be honest though.

[@VarjoPira]

The 'Badseed Blue' looks really good on a Razer board. I'd only grab this on sale, though.

[@takutolovex]

tldr: NO, it's not worth it. Just buy a Wooting if you have this much money

Be aware of the switches. They are so trash and prone to failure after few months. Every razor pro keyboard has the same problem.

[@shaekisbat5043]

Will you review the falchion ace hfx? Even a short overview would be great.

[@OzzyInSpace]

At that price point, you may as well start down the GMMK Pro rabbit hole. lol

[@george8920]

Could have been great if it had - ALL ALUMINIUM CASE , - COLOR SCREEN - - and personally - lose the battery and wireless and make it cheaper - for this price the mode sonnet knocks this plastic lightweight B&W screen gimmick out the park - sorry razer but if you were really serous and wanted to make something great - you need to ask a few experts - Get in Taeha Types and get his input and make something " Really " great - this is a lukewarm almost there gimmick - it's 2024 and you putting a cheapo B&W screen on a " PRO " keyboard ??? - and charging $300 ?? LOL - MODE SONNET - same price - PROPER PRO BOARD !!!!! choice of plates - Choice of Colors - FULL ALUMINIUM CASE - No gimmick wireless - what serious gamer wants to risk wireless connectivity ??

[@Bobaboy17]

I agree for the most part but wireless won't effect you much if it's a good enough wireless although idk if razer wireless is good.

Too bad HE is the future for gaming. For typing experience, at least right now, the only limiting factor for now is switch design and PCB and software design, and for the former, for now, Gateron is king, and for the latter, Wooting is king. At least now there's more competition. What we need now are aftermarket cases and other options.
