Hello, everyone!I'm Shen Shao!What I bring today is a review of a compact wireless mechanical keyboard, which is the Black Widow Spider V4 mini wireless version that Razer has just released. This keyboard combines Razer's usual good looks, compact design, three-mode connectivity, and fun ghost pudding keycaps, and is Razer's first wireless hot-swappable keyboard, full of playability.
First of all, the packaging of the keyboard is still a familiar formula for Razer, and the main thing is to show the main view of the product.
Let's take a look at this keyboard, you can find that because it uses ghost pudding keycaps, it has the visual appearance of a non-engraved keyboard without turning on the lights, which is very mysterious.
After connecting to the computer, we can set up rich RGB lighting effects in the Thundercloud driver software.
It can be seen that after the keyboard RGB backlight is turned on, the lighting effect is still quite eye-catching, which is also in line with our consistent good impression of Razer.
Including the Razer logo on the front, it is also RGB.
In terms of layout, this keyboard uses a very compact 65% layout design, which is also a personal favorite configuration. It can save a lot of desktop space, but also comes with arrow keys and common function buttons, so you don't need to use combination keys often for daily use.
The keyboard adopts a three-mode connection design, and the wired connection is also separated from the keyline, which can not only be used while charging, but also convenient for everyone to match different table sets, and you can also replace the third-party data cable by yourself.
In addition, Razer's HYPERSPEED is one of the best wireless connectivity technologies in the industry, and the keys are operated without any lag, so it is also stress-free to play FPS games. The 2.4G receiver also has the model name of "BW V4 Mini", so that those who have multiple Razer devices don't have to worry about mixing up the receiver. THIS TECHNOLOGY ALSO SUPPORTS MULTI-DEVICE CONNECTIVITY, ALLOWING THE BLACK WIDOW SPIDER V4 MINI WIRELESS TO SHARE A HYPERSPEED RECEIVER WITH OTHER SUPPORTED RAZER MICE.
As for the Bluetooth wireless connection, not only does this keyboard be compatible with more devices, but it can also be connected to mobile phones and tablets for operation, and the response speed for daily Internet access and document processing is also properly enough.
The keyboard comes with a third-generation Razer tactile orange switch, which has a lighter trigger force and a clear sense of feedback. The specific trigger pressure gram is 50g, the trigger point is 2.0mm, and the key travel is 3.5mm, which is relatively balanced, and I personally think it will be more versatile than Razer's paragraph green switch.
The keyboard supports 2-level adjustable foot support, with flat, 6°, 9°, and 3 tilt angles to choose from.
It's worth mentioning that this keyboard is also hot-swappable, so you can replace other 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switches.
In daily use,The operation feel of this keyboard is still quite satisfying,Regardless of the use of daily typing or playing games,The trigger is clear,Timely feedback,The lighting effect is also leveraged。
In addition, the keyboard has a built-in chassis silencing cotton, and the percussion sound of the touch orange shaft is also controlled by HiFi, which will not look very noisy.
In terms of details, the 5052 aluminum alloy top cover can indeed enhance the texture of the entire keyboard, which is more advanced and durable than the ABS plastic shell of some low-end products on the market.
On the whole, Razer's new Black Widow Spider V4 mini wireless version positioning is quite accurate. Through the compact design, handsome customizable RGB lighting effects + ghost pudding keycaps, reliable shaft body selection, high playability of pluggable keycaps, and the convenience of three-mode connection, it provides a small and versatile wireless mechanical keyboard for friends, which is quite reliable for daily use or playing games.
The release of this new "Mini Spider" also makes the Black Widow Spider series perfectly cover the 4 most common layout layouts of full-size, TKL, 75%, and 65%, allowing us to choose the most suitable configuration for ourselves according to our desktop space and usage needs, which is quite stable. If you want to buy a good-looking and comprehensive 65% flagship mechanical keyboard in the near future, this Black Widow Spider V4 mini wireless version is very worth getting.
