Razer has unveiled the BlackWidow V4 Pro keyboard with two programmable dials. The BlackWidow V4 Pro retains a big board design and is a departure from current compact models. The keyboard omits wireless connectivity but has five macro keys, four media keys, and three profile keys.
The norm currently is to deliver trendy and compact keyboards. Some models are reduced by up to 40% but the BlackWidow V4 Pro goes in the opposite direction. The keyboard combines the features of decades-old designs with mechanical innovations. It offers premium Razer components and a full aluminum deck. In addition, the mechanical keyboard has magnetic wrist rests, Chroma lighting on each key, and underglow strips around the board and wrist rest. It has a dedicated USB-C cable and a pass-through USB port, which is something new with gaming keyboards. The device has a polling rate of 800Hz which can accommodate the twitchiest eSports applications.
The BlackWidow V4 Pro comes with some advanced mechanical features. The custom hall-effect switches have different tactile levels but lack hot-swapping. The stabilizers are pre-lubricated while the keyboard’s case has sound-absorbing foam. The board’s memory is capable of remembering five different memory profiles. The Doubleshot keycaps are made of ABS plastic, but the Razer PBT caps are more exquisite and sold separately.
The Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro is priced at $230 and is already on sale. The product can be purchased directly from the Razer online store. The earliest deliveries of the product will be in one week.
