Razer Blackwidow v4 Low-Profile Hyperspeed Keyboard Review

The Razer Blackwidow v4 Low-Profile Hyperspeed keyboard was provided by Razer for testing over a two-week period, primarily for work use. Overall, it offers high performance and impressive RGB lighting, though a few design elements could use refinement considering its premium cost.

Unboxing and Build Quality

The keyboard arrived securely packaged in a sturdy, well-sealed box with a protective sleeve. Inside were a USB-C cable and an easy-to-follow multilingual instruction manual. The device itself feels solid and well-built, weighing about 1 kg (2.2 lbs), ensuring it stays firmly in place even during intense gaming sessions.

Design and Materials

The keyboard’s base is made of brushed aluminium, smooth to the touch and resistant to dust. Its standout feature is its low-profile build—only 18.5 mm (1.37 inches) at its tallest point—offering a comfortable typing position. The slim design enhances ergonomics, though some users may find the absence of a wrist rest disappointing.

“Coming in at just 18.5mm which is 1.37 inches at the tallest point, the keyboard sits really nicely at a great height for typing.”

Verdict

The Blackwidow v4 Low-Profile Hyperspeed combines premium materials, solid structure, and sleek design into a dependable keyboard for both gamers and professionals, though the lack of a wrist rest slightly detracts from the comfort.

Author’s Summary

This keyboard blends premium build, strong performance, and sleek low-profile form, but its missing wrist rest makes comfort less than perfect for long sessions.
