Razer releases a richly equipped BlackWidow V4 Pro keyboard for 270 euros

Razer has released the BlackWidow V4 Pro. The wired keyboard is equipped with many functionalities and furnishings. It has RGB lighting, eight macro buttons, media controls, and two rotary knobs. Razer asks 270 euros for it.

Users rotate the dial at the top left of the board with a ‘clock’ orientation and the dial at the top right ‘rolls’ correctly, as Razer’s images also show. Examples that the American company gives of the functionalities of the rotary knob at the top left are switching apps, switching tabs, zooming, scrolling, adjusting the brightness of the LEDs and more. The ‘roller’ is well suited for things like volume, screen brightness and other media-related matters, according to the maker.

Buyers can choose from two types of switches: the green and the yellow, both made by Razer itself. Green is a switch with both a tactile bump and a click sound and yellow is a linear switch that makes less noise and has no bump. Razer has a web page showing more technical details about the switches gives. There are doubleshot ABS keycaps on top of the switches.

Of all those buttons, five are macro keys. These can therefore be set to fulfill many different functionalities or combinations of functionalities. Five are regular keys and three are smaller keys that are further away from the side of the device.

The BlackWidow V4 Pro also has a USB 2.0 passthrough port, a 5052 aluminum housing, a polling rate of 8000Hz and storage space for five different profiles in which the settings are stored. An unlimited number of profiles can be stored ‘in the cloud’. A magnetic wrist rest made of artificial leather is also included. This also has RGB LEDs.

Razer has immediately launched the BlackWidow V4 Pro. The keyboard is available for purchase at individual sales points at Razer itself.
