Razer - BlackWidow V3 Tenkeyless

You can get the blackwidow v3 tkl and just replace the keycaps with pbt ones or you can buy like an epomaker, keychron, or red dragon keyboard. I also reccomend the K617 fizz.

I‘ve been using the Blackwidow V3 TKL for a few years now and it‘s great but I‘m really over the clickety sound and am looking for the most quiet option now. Due to synapse etc. I think getting another Razer to integrate into the setup works best. With how the website is setup and since it‘s been a while since I bought a keyboard I have zero overview what is the latest and greatest when it comes to silent switches and wired keyboards. TLDR; Looking for TKL, wired, most silent Razer keyboard out there (if it has extra nobs etc. for volume that‘s fine I don‘t really mind) Could you guys help me out here?

You can go for any Mk keyboards but it could be a Lil pricey like 5k, or you can buy Razer blackwidow v3 tenkeyless which I've been using for over a year right now and formouse go with Logitech g304 and the keyboard you've posted is just a membrane keyboard...

Very happy with my Black Widow V3 (wired, green switches) as it's the first "premium" mechanical keyboard I've ever owned that \*didn't\* croak a week after the warranty had run out. Other than that, I do like its switches and feel while typing because I prefer things to feel a bit more tactile and "click-y". I don't really need wireless and while the handrest could be nicer (no magnets or any other way to attach it to the main unit, plus it's not padded) at least it came with a handrest. Going to assume that the V4 is at least as good, though I will say that I only bought this keyboard because I got it for pretty cheap during a sale. Considering my experiences with other "gaming" keyboards from other manufacturers (including HyperX and Corsair) and their unwillingness to help with a product whose warranty had (just) expired, I don't think I'd ever pay full price again for any of them.

Don’t consider buying any Razer products especially the BlackWidow V3 keyboard and the Leviathan V2X Soundbar. Poor quality. I’ve had a keyboard for less than 2 years and I am not getting keying inputs. Sucks for gaming and regular typing. The soundbar quality isn’t good. I have a small UE roll speaker that knocks out more sound boom than this expensive sound bar.

I'm quite happy with my Razer Blackwidow V3. Got me through college

I have owned a razer blackwidow v3 and now own the blackwidow v4 pro. The only issue i have had is with the blackwidow v3, the rotating function in top right of the keyboard stopped functioning as it should. With the blackwidow v4 pro, i have had no issues and i love it to bits hahah. Best keyboard ever

I have a Blackwidow v3 I like it

I’m using the same and it’s had constant issues with “chattering”, where one press doubles or triples up. Had to install software to add a delay to key presses. It also started unprompted typing strings of characters from one section of the keyboard while being unresponsive in that section to manual key presses. Both are common issues/defects with the blackwidow v3 and its previous iterations. Really good keyboard. Looks great, comfortable and responsive. Just be aware of the high likelihood of problems. Razer peripherals in general are known for problems. Their support are great, but if you don’t have the excess cash to buy backups while waiting for replacements or live in the sticks and don’t want to risk going a few days without a keyboard if you have to do a return it’s worth looking into a different brand. As for how it is for FFXIV: if you get one without issues, it’s fantastic.

I have a black widow v3 with green switches. Only purchased with greens because I got it on a wild sale. It's a fantastic keyboard. It's not wireless. Is there a reason you need a wireless keyboard? Are you far away from your PC?

**Keyboard recommendation?** I've had a razer Blackwidow v3 for about 5 years now which is starting to crap out on me, and I'd like some recommendations for a new keyboard to get. Haven't got a clue how to find what's considered "good" for a keyboard nowadays, but see a lot of people online saying to avoid the big "gamer" brands, hence needing some advice on what to switch to. I'd like to preferably keep it around £100, but if there's something that's really worth a little extra then I'm flexible. The loud clickiness of this keyboard has become more annoying the longer I've owned it, so preferably one of those smoother thunk sounding ones would be great lol. I like full size keyboards as I use the numpad as hotkeys for stuff, so would like a fullsize. I'm not particularly interested in the whole building from scratch aspect so I'd rather something that's ready out the box. I play some competitive games but not seriously, and mostly just game normally, so I don't need any crazy high spec competitive keyboard, I care more about something that feels nice to use. Other than that I don't really have any other specifications I massively want, just want something good for a good price.

I have a Razer Black Widow V3 that I like

I use a Razer Blackwidow v3. Works fine for me.

I keep buying razer black widow orange and yellows because I'm dumb

I do have a gaming PC, but I spend most of my time typing (working and studying from home), so I’m using most keys from 7-7pm. Perhaps the use-case also has something to do with the fatigue? Either way, my low-profile mechanical has been a godsend, I do like the Razer TKL, but I wish I could also get it with a similar profile instead of orange switches.

I literally just bought a new one after 10 years. I watched a ton of YouTube videos, rated a bunch at a Microcenter, and settled on the Keychron Q1 Max. Whereas I prefer a full keyboard I was sold on the idea of more desk/wrist space for my mouse. If you need a full sized one the Q6 Max was the other model I looked at. My previous model was a Razor Chroma Black Widow that was very clicky. The board is very heavy and solidly made. To my untrained self, the keys feel nice to press. It has wired, blue tooth and Wi-Fi; the latter of which I plan to use when switching to my work computer. LED lighting is nice but flawed. The colors are pretty but it doesn't light the whole key which means if you buy see through letter keys, the light won't shine through the lettering. The key shapes I'm not used and I can only describe it as feeling a bit tall and too close together. I'm not used to no number pad and the delete key being in a completely new location but I'm giving it a chance. I spent over an hour typing a short story last night, and it went pretty quick. I had more typos than usual but that's due to getting used to a new keyboard.

I used to have a Razor Blackwidow keyboard as well. Then I switched to Alienware. Definitely want to go with CORSAIR next, and I was thinking K100 also! Thanks for sharing your experience with it.

I like Corsair keyboards but I find razer black widow series to be better all around.

Been my goto set since sc2 released. During beta though i was using an old, and tiny ps2 keyboard that was phenomenal and i doubt any other keyboard could beat in my eyes. Look for a smaller set of keys? Youll adjust to the bw quicker than you think, but as a recommendation, also get the naga so you dont have to move your keyboard hand all that much. It’s helped me fathoms over the years

Learned to play Zerg on a Blackwidow way back in the day still miss the black switches tbh. Heavy and clacky

ironically i am typing this from my razer black widow that i've had for a whole year and one month, whose a key and spacebar refuse to work consistently even when firmly pressed, after searching for a new keyboard to buy. it's driving me insane...................

Had a Blackwidow and a Huntsman Analog Mini The Blackwidow had switch failure where a switch would not properly depress. The metal leaf contact inside the switch had shorn off, IDK how that’s even possible given the box-style switch they use, but having the metal leaf flake off and interfere with the spring is frustrating, especially since opening the damn thing to repair it is such a chore. The Huntsman’s stabilizer clips looked particularly shoddy, lots of flashing on the plastic, really finnicky to reassemble, I wasn’t confident in using it. I have a particularly heavy hand especially when gaming, I have a tendency to piano roll keys, and the stabs would not have held up if they were moulded incorrectly. When a $28 Royal Kludge bottom of the barrel mechanical keyboard has a better stabilizer than the Huntsman Mini, which is more than double the price, something is wrong.

Hey guys, maybe someone could give me a suggestion on what to get, I'm at a bit of a loss here. I have had a Razer blackwidow for many years now, but it's starting to fail me. Sadly, there is no current version with the Portuguese (Portugal) layout. I have come to get used to the green switches, so I'd probably like something similar... Any ideas?

I've had the other end of the spectrum. Bought the top of the line naga and blackwidow at the time. Naga arrived DoA, customer service took 3 months to even reply to my ticket after the automated one, refused rma 3 times only to make me pay for shipping just to send the same mouse back. Blackwidow was bricked by an update 2 months into having it, and RMA outright refused.

2 days ago i got a razer blackwidow keyboard too. and yes my 'L' key needs about 3 or 4 presses before it registers. im sending the bastard thing back to amazon

The difference is very minimal I had my blackwidow finally give out after like 8 years and used some random ancient logitech membrane keyboard for a month before just grabbing a new keyboard

I just got one recently and am enjoying it so far compared to my razer black widow that broke only a year and a half. The linear keys feel nice and smooth to press and arent too loud but im still getting used to not having the click and the same feedback from the razer. But doesnt have switchable keys for that longevity. For long game sessions the keys arent taxing to press at all. If getting keys you like and longevity out of a keyboard is most important to you i think getting a custom keyboard is a better fit, so if a key does die you can just switch it out. But for its price point its a pretty nice keyboard If you dont wanna deal with the hassle of getting a custom one

The A key became unresponsive. It was actually the second one i got that had the same issue, but the first one lasted 4 years and one of those were during lockdown so i chalked it up heavy use. The second one broke within the two year warranty so i replaced it with the hyper x alloy. Razer sucks dont buy their stuff.

It should be covered by warranty then. Get it replaced, preferably by a new keyboard brand if you can. I've had nothing but trouble with razer products, even straight out the box I've had issues a couple of times. Honestly get a keyboard with hot swappable switches if you intend to use it for a long time or even build one yourself if you're interested in that. Either way you can replace switches as they fail and get switches that suit you best If you don't want that hassle I'm still using the hyper x keyboard above and enjoying it so far. The big plus for it is that it's so much easier to clean with a can of compressed air. The rgb looks better to me too if you're into that stuff. But saying that I've only had it for 6 months now so I still don't know the longevity of it yet. It seems like people are having issues after a couple years on average

I had a great experience with my razer naga as well. My blackwidow keyboard was an absolute nightmare though. It took 4 replacements and eventually swapping to a Blackwidow 75% pro which has not had any issues yet and is currently my favorite keyboard I've ever had. But if/when it does fail - I don't think I'll go razer again.
