Introducing the Razer BlackWidow V4 75%: The Ultimate Customizable Keyboard

Introducing the Razer BlackWidow V4 75%: The Ultimate Keyboard for Gamers

Razer™, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, is proud to unveil the revolutionary Razer BlackWidow V4 75%. This keyboard is the perfect fusion of gaming precision and customization, featuring a durable aluminum build, gasket-mounted plate, hot-swappable sockets, all-new tactile mechanical switches, and vibrant Razer Chroma™ RGB lighting. It offers a gaming experience that is truly unparalleled.

Barrie Ooi, Head of Razer’s PC Gaming Division, stated, “The BlackWidow V4 75% is the result of Razer listening to the community, seamlessly merging customization with gaming. Its hot-swappable architecture, combined with our elite mechanical switches and adaptive Chroma RGB lighting, empowers gamers to create a keyboard that is truly unique to their needs.”

The Hot-Swappable Masterpiece Featuring Razer’s Next-Gen Razer Orange Tactile Mechanical Switches

Available in black and white colorways, the Razer BlackWidow V4 75% offers compatibility with 3 or 5-pin switches for even more customization options. Its innovative socketed PCB design allows users to easily switch between pre-loaded switches and their preferred mechanical alternatives, giving them complete control over the keyboard’s feel and responsiveness.

Equipped with Razer’s all-new Orange Tactile Mechanical Switches Gen-3, it features a higher bump point and a cleaner sound profile that enhances every keystroke. These improvements cater to the desire for superior tactility that modern gamers seek.

Superior Typing Dynamics and Acoustic Precision

The BlackWidow V4 75% is meticulously engineered with a gasket-mounted FR4 plate and two layers of sound dampening foam. The foam layer is strategically placed between an already tape-enhanced printed circuit board (PCB) and the FR4 plate, while another layer is positioned at the bottom of the case to reduce unwanted pinging and reverberation.

The plate-mounted stabilizers come pre-lubed for smoother key travel and to minimize any unwanted rattling sounds. Additionally, the PCB of this keyboard supports screw-in stabilizers, allowing users to replace the stock stabilizers if desired. As a result, the BlackWidow V4 75% delivers light, balanced keystrokes that produce a satisfying sound, providing an unparalleled typing experience.

Masterfully Compact, with Stunning Immersive Chroma™ RGB

The keyboard’s sleek 75% layout ensures gamers have all the essential keys while maximizing mouse maneuvering space. Encased in a sturdy 5052 aluminum alloy frame, it offers durability without compromising aesthetics. Enhanced by Razer Chroma RGB™ with 2-side underglow and per-key lighting, this keyboard will transform any battlestation into a visually stunning masterpiece.

Exceptional Gaming Features

The multi-function roller and media keys provide convenience for all entertainment needs. At its core, the BlackWidow V4 75% is a keyboard packed with premium gaming features, including up to 8000Hz Polling Rate, fully programmable keys via Razer Synapse, Doubleshot ABS Keycaps, N-key Rollover, and Anti-Ghosting.

Crafted from community feedback and passion, the BlackWidow V4 75% is Razer’s response to the collective demand of gamers worldwide. Every detail of this keyboard reflects Razer’s commitment to empowering its community with innovative tools.

As the latest addition to the acclaimed BlackWidow V4 series, which includes keyboards like the BlackWidow V4 Pro, BlackWidow V4, and BlackWidow V4 X, this keyboard showcases Razer’s dedication. Each keystroke is a testament to our promise: unrivaled gaming experiences crafted with precision, quality, and a touch of audacity.

Technology Explained

Anti-Ghosting: Anti-Ghosting is a technology used in computer keyboards that prevents the “ghosting” or inadvertent striking of multiple keys at the same time. This technology does this by rearranging the electrical pathways of the keyboard circuitry, allowing more than the conventional number of keystrokes to be registered simultaneously without interference. Anti-ghosting is most commonly used in gaming keyboards, allowing gamers to press multiple keys at once to perform complex commands without issue. The technology is also used in some standard keyboards, increasing user flexibility and convenience while typing.

---

Doubleshot ABS Keycaps: Doubleshot ABS Keycaps are a type of keycap material which are extremely durable, long-lasting, and designed to provide a secure grip to the user. They are manufactured using a double injection molding process to make them as tough as possible. They are commonly used in gaming and mechanical keyboards in the computer industry due to their ability to withstand the wear and tear of daily use, offering excellent resistance to water, oils, and other contaminants. Doubleshot ABS Keycaps also feature light-diffusing paint, which is beneficial for LED backlit keyboards. This technology provides a stylized look that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Additionally, Doubleshot ABS Keycaps are able to maintain their shape and size even after sustained mechanical pressure, ensuring a comfortable and consistent typing or gaming experience for users.

N-key Rollover: N-key Rollover (NKRO) is a technology in the computer industry used to prevent the loss of key presses due to the limitation of how many keys a PC can detect at one time. It enables a PC to detect more than the limited number of keys usually recognized by a computer. By using NKRO, a large number of keys can be pressed and recognized individually even if many of them are pressed simultaneously. This technology can be used in applications such as gaming, typing, using the Internet, or any other task requiring a high accuracy in multiple keypresses. NKRO also ensures maximum macro speed by allowing users to press multiple macro keys simultaneously without overwhelming the processor or causing any conflicts. The applications of NKRO in the computer industry are widely varied and are only increasing due to the ever-growing demand for improved performance in various operations.

Polling Rate: Polling rate is an important technology in the computer industry that is used to measure the speed at which the computer receives data from an input device such as a mouse or joystick. It is measured in Hzcycles per second, and indicates how often a device is checked for input by the computer. With a higher polling rate, input from a device such as a mouse is registered more frequently, resulting in improved accuracy and response time. This technology is essential for gaming and graphic applications that require frequent and accurate inputs or commands. A higher polling rate is not only beneficial to the user experience but is also useful in production environments with more complex tasks.
