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.

I just switched from razer to keychron for a few reasons that cascaded out after my blackwidow v3 died over night. For starters, it's incredibly frustrating that the contact support option on their website opens a chat window that's just a bot filling out a warranty request form that I could have filled out faster on my own. After that it took 2 days to get an email response to the form and from the questions asked by the actual support rep, they didn't read the ticket at all making the whole exercise a grand waste of my time when I'm already frustrated with an unusable PC because their hardware just up and quit. After a few days of chasing emails with the rep, it finally came out that I was two months past the 2 year warranty window so they are not offering a replacement product but also that they no longer provide repair services for PC peripherals. There's no reason that it should have taken 4 days for a service rep in another hemisphere to tell me I was outside of warranty when the date of purchase and proof of receipt were the second and third questions asked by the chatbot less than a minute after starting the chat. I bought a Keychron V6 on sale from Amazon for $70 with a set of switches to try a setup with a heavier throw and a louder click, which I'm actually really enjoying, for another $30. With tax it was about $115 all told, a firm $15 under the MSRP for a baseline blackwidow v4 pre tax. Their RGB control, driver updates, and button programming is all handled through a webpage app rather than another proprietary bloat ware app that slows my computer and harvests my data for resale and it works on mac and linux for whichever route I choose to go when windows 10 ends support in October. tl;dr Razer has shitty customer service, requires a bloatware app, and is more expensive when compared to an entry level offering from a mid market brand like Keychron which also offers hot swap customization and user serviceability and repair It's not for everyone, but for me it's the far better option on every front

Even outside of software bloat, if tomorrow I decide I want faster or slower latency on my hardware, $30 and 30 minutes is all it takes to swap in any of dozens on dozens of switch options When the w key died on my old razer blackwidow V1 I had to buy an entirely new keyboard, which is how O wound up with a V3 that died of its own accord 2 years later The V1 at least lasted about 7 years including a couple drink spills

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.
