The hot-swappable design and multiple connectivity options are a boon as well.
It cuts a rather formidable figure, with its angular, slab-like body conveying its gaming intentions.
It might seem too thick at first, but youll likely adapt quickly as you sink into it.
Other keyboard controls are available via this display, although the selection is quite limited.
But overall, its easy to use and works quite well.
The BlackWidow V4 Pro 75% is compatible with Synapse 4.
However, these issues eventually went away with updates and restarts, and I had little trouble thereafter.
Everything is well presented and easy to navigate.
The BlackWidow V4 Pro 75% really shines, though, when it comes to the business of gaming.
The Gen-3 Tactile mechanical switches are snappy yet damped just enough to make them satisfying to use.
The compact layout and indented doubleshot PBT keycaps are secure and easy to press too.
Battery life on the BlackWidow V4 Pro 75% is good, but nothing spectacular.
I found it could last a couple of days of varied use, switching between the various wireless modes.
Charging from empty to full takes over two hours in my estimation, which is an average performance.
Theres no denying that the BlackWidow V4 Pro 75% is a very well-made and extremely worthy gaming keyboard.
However, for the mechanical purists, its certainly the cream of the crop.
The BlackWidow V4 Pro 75% sits atop Razers gaming keyboard lineup in terms of price.
Its more expensive than the excellent Huntsman V2 Analog, the best gaming keyboard right now in our view.
Other high-profile rivals in the premium sector are also cheaper.
However, you do sink into it, and after a short while I acclimatized.
The doubleshot PBT keycaps are lightly textured and feel premium to the touch.
Nestled in the top right corner of the BlackWidow V4 Pro 75% is a small OLED display.
The BlackWidow V4 Pro 75% is compatible with Synapse 4.
Synapse offers the usual customizations, including key rebinds, but the scope for these is large.
The keys are mildly indented, again offering the right balance between security and ease of use.
Again, switching this way to control numerous devices works quickly and consistently.
This isnt a particularly impressive performance, and neither is the two-plus hour charging time from empty.
However, neither figure is cause for complaint, either.
Performance: 4/ 5
Should I buy the Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro 75%?
Synapse 4 has a few small issues, though.
4 / 5
Performance
The switches and keycaps are masterful, and great for typing too.
But since its not an analog board, the actuation points arent adjustable.
Wired connectivity is also an option.
Plus, if you dont like them, you could swap them out.
This board has analog switches as well, allowing for that fine actuation point tuning and rapid trigger activation.
It also has a comfortable wrist rest, but it is wired only.
Read ourRazer Huntsman V2 Analog review.
It too is very expensive, but it’s still less than the BlackWidow V4 Pro 75%.
I played games includingCounter-Strike 2andS.T.A.L.K.E.R.
2: Heart of Chornobyl, FPS titles that test the responsiveness, accuracy and ergonomics of keyboards well.
I have been PC gaming for over 10 years, and have sampled many keyboards over that period.
I have also reviewed numerous gaming keyboards of varying sizes, switch types, and price tags.
