Glad to see that Razer is taking steps in the right direction! I love the fact that the keyboard comes with mods that enthusiast are commonly doing right now. Currently using the RK61 keyboard with some mods on my own.
Very nice to see the Blackwidow is finally getting a 75% version, and the refresh of the RAZER Orange switches sounds very good also. Currently using GK64 with TOFU60 case
Currently using the Akko 3068B+ Razer has def come a long way since their original blackwidow release, and I'm quite surprised at how they finally listened to their consumers
I have to say that im pretty new in the hobby as im just observing left and right to buy my first custom keyboard, but what Razer did here looks and sounds spectacular (even considering the price). My current keeb is not even hotswap, its a drevo calibur v2
Happy to see Razer introducing new people into the hobby. I been using a Tester68 for about 2 years now and The BlackWidow V4 would be a great upgrade!
The Razer Blackwidow TE was the first ever (external) keyboard that I bought. Most of the products I even bought were razer related. Everything has come a long way since then and I'm glad their giving the larger group of gaming consumers more customizability. I must say was iconic using three cords just for a keyboard. Currently, my daily board is the Mode Envoy FE.
I use Drop Control rightnow, it's my first and only keyboard to date. I was a newbie and know nothing, don't know what to buy and where to look for. months later I just realize that I can get better keyboard in the same price. The board is good for beginer very, straightforward, easy to assemble but also so little things to play with and almost zero area for [custom]ize. Getting this Razor Blackwidow will open so much experience on custom keyboard world for me.
Damn, Im glad razer starting to take notice on the keyboard hobby and making their boards more customiszable and also trying to ease gamers into the hobby. Currently I'm using the a LK67.
Took Razer awhile but seems like they did a goob job with the new board. Props to Lewis for the mods, the final product sounded fantastic. I'm currently using a Razer Ornata Chroma.
Really happy that Razer's been listening to the community and focusing more into keyboards. Wish to get into custom keyboards, only running a Hunstmans TE at the moment.
I'm rocking a KBD67 lite with - Gateron Milky Yellow (lubed with Krytox 205G0) - Durock V2 stabilisers (lubed with Krytox 205G0, even on the wires) - Some $20 eva 01 themed PBT caps Everything else is stock apart from - Stabiliser pads - PE switch foam - Tape mod - Some cheap automotive dampening foam
bro your presentation on the features of the keyboard is very good, no wonder razer sponsored you. currently using monsgeek m1, with akko cs silver. so you already know how a gamer I am with the switch preference.
Great video bruh. It's still a tasteful upgrade that you've done on it despite not winning. But the decisions are subjective. Still a great upgrade noneoftheless. I'm currently using AULA F3Z61 keyboard with some mods on it (Lube switches, tape mod, form mod, and keycaps). It's a budget keyboard build so I didn't get to change the stabs instead I just lube the stock ones.
I'm using an Epomaker TH80-X. I wouldn't recommend it to any enthusiast but the LCD screen and big knob are cute and that's all that matters. I'd love to try everything this hobby has to offer but it's so much time and money unfortunately
been watching your channel since the start and u actually inspired me to get into the custom keyboard scene. Because of you, i am currently rocking with the MW65 and the experience so far have been great props to razer for the strong effort to the custom keyboard scene. would definitely include them in my future plans for custom keyboards
Surprisingly good stock sound. My first keyboard was a Corsair K70 and this would have a been a much better option if it was out back then! Currently using either Zoom65 V1 or Ginkgo65
Nice show down. Both keyboard mods looked great. Glad to see Razer is finally trying something new. Look forward to seeing a review of the keyboard in the future. Just in case, I'm using the Keychron K8.
That was probably the most aethetic video I've watched this year! great job lewis! btw, for your own good, you better not google my keyboard, if you don't want your eyes bleed: Redragon Asura
Currently i'm using a GMK67 with KTT strawberry switches, really creamy keyboard but would love to have an upgrade with the Razer Blackwidow V4, even the stock sounds really great surprisingly
Please give me the keyboard bro, I also live in Singapore!! I currently own a GMK67, but I don’t have money to upgrade to something better as I’m still in secondary school lol.
I've been using a Corsair K70 RGB (Version 1) with Cherry MX Red linear switches for a very long time now. Since the keyboard is almost 10 years old, I probably should have considered getting a new one a long time ago. But now with a looming PC setup refresh coming along the way, I may just end up with needing a new keyboard to match the setup aesthetics.
Usually would see troll posts from Razer but really happy they are starting to notice that there's a market for this hobby! Currently loving my Sugar65
RAZER stepping it up for the enthusiasts! I am currently using RKG68 right now and been looking for a layout change! This RAZER keyboard seems to be a good start for 75% layout!
I'm currently using a Feker Machinist 60% keeb. I modded it with foam and tape but since it's not hotswappable I couldn't change the switches or evenm lube them.
That's a sickass keyboard! Currently I'm using the Keychron Q1 V2 with Akko Cherry profile keycaps and Akko Cream Yellow Pro. I did tape mod, force break mod, and added some extra PE foam on the bottom of the case. I'm pretty satisfied with how it sounds but the stabs need some work!
Mine: Case: KBD67 Lite PCB: YD67BLE for KBD67 Stabs: Durock v2 Screw In (Lubed) Plate: Polycarbonate Switch: Gateron Ink Blacks (Lubed and filmed) Keycaps: Minimal WoB PBT Mods: Tempest/Tape Mod Foam Mod O-Ring Mod
After watching your video 9 months ago, I was inspired and built my very first keyboard - a KBDFansTiger 80 Lite in frosted white plastic case with Boba U4T (Thocky) switches and PBTFans Resonance keycaps. I rewatched your video many times, playing and pausing it repeatedly, until the final product is done. I am still using the keyboard today and loving it. Thank you Lewis. This has been a long time coming but it is heartfelt. 🫡
I've noticed a significant improvement in Razer's keyboards especially since my first razer keyboard was the Cynosa Lite 💀💀💀💀💀💀 not even mechanical btw. Glad to see the customisability of this board and their attention to keyboard hobbyists. currently using a G.Skill KM250 (listen, I was tight on cash but it does feel pretty good)
Yo Lewis, I am currently using a custom-made mechanical keyboard comprising of a Rosewood case with Sorbothane and Neoprene foam at the base as sound dampeners, aluminium PCB plate with Poron gasket mounts, 3-layer Artist’s Tape Mod for the PCB, C³Equalz Screw-In Stabilizers, Akko Creamy Yellows and doubleshot ABS Red Samurai keycap set. Oh and I like your "CNN" tee, please tell us where did you get it, thanks!
its so strange seeing a giant gamer company go into such a niche hobby. although i guess our keyboard hobby community has gotten pretty mainstream. this is still so crazy to me
My first & still "proper" keyboard would be keychron K6. I still remember unboxing a somewhat dented box to see the frame itself being dented and my spacebar being not operational. LOL. Literally press once and it will never come back up. They did sent over a new frame for me but definitely an interesting experience to start of my keyboard journey. Got it lubed & somehow did a "plaster" mod (or at least what I thought was one) and it sounds pretty good! Great video & hope to see more from razer moving forward ❤
Currently using the nk65 custom keyboard with gateron yellow switches as my first keyboard. Hoping to soon start testing out more keyboards and switches in the future.
Really great sound from Razer, my current main keyboard is Logitech G915 TKL tactile. I like the low latency when playing games and the battery lasts for so long before the next charge!
Currently using a GMMK Pro, but I would definitely like to try out the Blackwidow V4 75. I'm genuinely surprised that Razer made a keyboard that's actually good for a pretty fair price!
The razer keyboard sounded crispsy. Currently using an akko 3068 silent for a few years now and havent gotten around to building a custom keyboard as of yet
I'm using a Keychron q6 with gateron north pole V2 switches, modded with kilmat, tape mod and holee modded the stabilizer, topped up with the lovely Osume Matcha keycaps.
I've loved the orange Razer switches for years now im glad you put it out there. I'm using a Tofu 60 Acrylic with Gateron milky yellows and fake GMK Icebergs.
Currently using a budget keyboard called Feker IK75 with some box ink black gaterons. But for gaming, i might wanna switch to TTC Neptunes - as ive watched in some of your vids. Great vid too!
Sheeeshers, both sounded so good!! Currently using a GMMK2 65% - no mods or anything on it! Wanting to try to mod it but am too scared that I will break something! Feels bad man since I saved up for quite some time for this keyboard and I don't really want to mess anything up haha.
Razer is starting to step into the world of custom keyboards and its great for the market too. Brands will then release greater products for consumers. Btw, I'm currently using GMK67
using the xinmeng m71 now, with ws morandi switches, akko v3 cream yellow n some stocked switches.. overall pretty good, its only my 2nd custom keyboard so far
This keyboard sounds way better than what I have right now lol. I modded out a RK64 and then I switched to a K-Type Massdrop TKL keyboard. After a while I got old of the sound so I went back to my modded RK64.
Razer really impressed me and most likely all of us with this huge step into making better keyboards since Wooting is kinda dominating in the industry in terms of gaming peripherals. I myself use a GMK67 with lubed Akko Crystal switches.
