![]() ![]() When gaming with the Razer Black Widow V3 Tenkeyless, it felt as responsive as its competitors. (That’s going to vary from person to person, though, and Razer didn’t design the keyboard specifically for optimal ergonomics.) For a gaming keyboard, the BlackWidow V3 TKL is pretty dang comfortable for typing. They might not look good, but they’re shaped well, and their arrangement makes it easy to use the keyboard for extended periods without having to worry about cramping. Luckily, the ugliness of the V3 Tenkeyless’ key caps is only skin deep. The Roccat Vulcan TKL Pro, for example, also has this design. But to be fair, this sort of layout is common. That means you need to use both hands to control audio. ![]() My only real complaint is that the company assigned the media keys to Fn keys rather than the nine-key cluster above the arrow keys, like the Logitech G Pro and Cooler Master CK552 do. Each key is where it’s expected to be, and Razer went with standard key sizes. How does the BlackWidow V3 TKL feel? Well, pretty good, and the standard layout means the keyboard doesn’t require you to adapt to its design quirks. Just don’t expect it to sound like it does on Razer’s site the company’s recording is pretty modest.īut enough about sound. Otherwise the sound is what most folks probably expect when they consider a clicky mechanical keyboard. It’s not egregious, but people who are particularly sensitive to that problem should probably stock up on some lube. Most of that sound results from good noise - the click-clack of each switch, the thud of a key cap striking the base - but there is noticeable pinging as well. This keyboard is so loud that I had to plan this review around my family’s schedule lest the clack-ophony distract my wife from her work or prevent my son from taking a nap. Razer’s clicky switches certainly delivered in that regard. ![]() Gamers frequently prefer linear switches, while tactile switches are popular for typing and clicky switches give pleasant but loud feedback. Your choice of switch here will ultimately come down to preference. All of Razer’s mechanical switches are said to have life spans of up to 80 million keystrokes. The linear Razer Yellow switches change that to 45g, 1.2mm and 0mm with a total travel distance of 3.5mm. (The tactile Razer Orange switches are nowhere to be found.) Our review unit came equipped with the Razer Green switches, which feature a 50g actuation force, 1.9mm actuation point, a 0.4mm difference between the actuation and reset point with a total travel distance of 4mm. Razer sells two different versions of the BlackWidow V3 TKL: one with its clicky Razer Green switches and one with its linear Razer Yellow switches. ![]()
