Razer has unveiled its latest innovation in gaming peripherals: the Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro 75%. This cutting-edge wireless keyboard, set to launch on 25 September 2024, promises to revolutionise the gaming experience with its blend of advanced technology and customisable features.
At the heart of the BlackWidow V4 Pro 75% lies a hot-swappable design, compatible with both 3 and 5-pin mechanical switches. This flexibility allows gamers to tailor their keyboard’s feel and performance to their exact preferences. The keyboard comes pre-loaded with Razer Orange Tactile Switches Gen-3, offering a satisfying tactile response that keyboard enthusiasts will appreciate.
One of the standout features of this new model is its built-in OLED display. This screen provides real-time information on PC metrics, keyboard status, and even custom animations. Paired with the Razer Command Dial, users gain unprecedented control over various functions, from volume adjustment to track selection.
Wireless performance is a key focus of the BlackWidow V4 Pro 75%. It boasts Razer’s HyperSpeed Wireless technology and HyperPolling technology at up to 4K Hz, ensuring ultra-low latency and unmatched responsiveness. For those who prefer Bluetooth, the keyboard supports connections to up to three devices simultaneously.
Battery life has been a significant consideration in the design. A new Power Saving Mode can extend the battery life up to an impressive 2100 hours by deactivating non-essential features.
The keyboard’s aesthetics haven’t been overlooked either. It features per-key Razer Chroma RGB lighting and a striking 2-side underglow, allowing for extensive personalisation. The doubleshot PBT keycaps are not only durable but also optimised for enhanced RGB shine-through.
Comfort during extended gaming sessions is ensured by the inclusion of a magnetic plush leatherette wrist rest. This ergonomically designed support snaps securely to the keyboard, providing cushioned comfort for those marathon gaming sessions.
Barrie Ooi, Head of Razer’s PC Gaming Division, expressed his excitement about the new product: “The BlackWidow V4 Pro 75% is the result of our relentless pursuit of gaming excellence. With its hot-swappable design, Razer HyperSpeed wireless technology, and a built-in OLED display, this keyboard empowers gamers to create a setup that truly reflects their style and gain more control than ever before.”
The Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro 75% is priced at $499.95 AUD. Pre-orders are currently available exclusively through Razer.com and RazerStores, with general availability starting from 25 September 2024.
