Razer - BlackWidow V4 Mini HyperSpeed

Well I ordered the Joro. In short, it's super nice and feels premium, but that's to be expected at the price point. I might write a full review on this sub because I really haven't seen any others. I was pretty hard pressed to find a ~65% keyboard with chiclet (laptop) style keys, and the customizable lighting is the cherry on top. I wouldn't recommend anyone just go buy one like I did (unless this is exactly their style), but I'd 100% advise you to try it out in-store if you get a chance. Best Buy is supposed to carry them, but my store didn't have a display model.

TL;DR at the end.. This is gonna be a long one. I really like it for a handful of reasons (in addition to me just being a picky fuck with peripherals). 1) feels like an Apple Magic Keyboard 2) it looks like something the Microsoft Surface team would put out 3) the keys are extra "clicky" as far as scissor switches go (like on a really nice laptop) 4) having wired AND Bluetooth is solid. More on this later. 5) the RGB works great 6) it's very compact, but doesn't feel like it compromised to get there 7) the battery seems to last a good while Okay, more on #4. I have a Galaxy Z Fold, but mainly use the Joro wired on my PC. I haven't done this yet, but part of the reason I chose the Joro was because if I'm ever at a hotel or a friend's place, I can plug my phone into the TV and use it as a full-blown Android PC. Having the Joro (and my Basilisk Hyperspeed) means I can do this from across the room with full M&Kb support.. And having the RGB set to low brightness means I won't lose them as easily. My only gripes with the Joro are: 1) the secondary key functions (shift & press) ARE labeled, but ARE NOT backlit. I have to be able to see what I'm pressing when holding the shift key to know what I'm typing. Some people have these all memorized, but I don't. Oh well, I just have to turn the light in. Doesn't matter while gaming, and it DOES look cleaner this way. 2) the Joro is touted as an ultra-portable mobile-gaming keyboard, and costs a whopping $140 new - which is crazy expensive for a miniature keyboard - and does not come with any kind of carrying-case. You may want to invest in a cheap universal soft-case from Amazon if you plan to take it anywhere without a safe place to store it. 3) the Razer app (Synapse 4?) absolutely blows. It's a load of flickering, glitching, jumbled up code packaged as a complete product... and which was launched as a "beta" and is exactly the same as it has been since day 1. It's a mess, and takes unreasonable amounts of patience to use. Luckily I'm an extremely patient guy, and I put some time aside to sort through Synapse so I could have the keyboard I love functioning exactly as I like. ---------- Anyway, I still have a special place in my heart for my Deathstalker V1. I've had it since I built my first PC in 2014, and it still works great. I WILL say: the key-press mushiness does feel a bit dated, and the Joro feels like a natural evolution/branch-out into what could've been one of two halves of a new Deathstalker V1-style lineup: a 100% size version (which we have in name, but not in spirit) - and a 75% version (which the Joro is). I would've taken a TKL DSV1, but this is the closest we have to that at the moment. The Joro is almost a portable, modernized take on the DSV1. It doesn't feel exactly the same, its a bunch smaller, and there is no wrist-rest - I bought a wooden one on Amazon for $10 and have been happy with the setup. This thing definitely isn't for everyone, but as a guy who would ONLY game on a DSV1, I'm exceptionally happy with the physical product itself. . TL;DR - only need one, but would buy another if I could

I have the Razer BlackWidow V4 and love it. Has 6 Macro keys and everything you would need in a good gaming keyboard

I just bought this thing fresh out of the box the "I" and "J" keys straight up only work every 7 times theyre pressed

New batches are fixed, so no more double clicking.

I’d recommend the Razer Blackwidow V4

The pro was absolute garbage double typing all the time. Got the regular one with the louder clicking and it’s great

Feature rich, Corsair K100, Razer Blackwidow v4,or Logitech G915 X. Purely for their additional software compatibility and stuff, with the K100 being imo the best because of direct integration with stream deck. The K55 is very feature rich, but it’s the cheap version. Hard to find anything with more than that, not sure if it’s possible to find more than the K100 unless they had an HE or adjustable switch and/or hot swappable version of it. If all you care about is macros you can do that with just about any keyboard. I personally really like media keys for skipping songs and pausing, but you can just bind that to a key. Curious what your budget is. If you want a lot of keys in general with a significant budget, then a Keychron Q6 Max and a Q0 Max could be good for you. Fully VIA/QMK compatible and has their own software available as well. Could also get the HE version of the Q6 if you want HE. You could also get one of those giant ass keyboards with extra rows on the left. Might want to go look at r/mechanicalkeyboards for reference and just avoid all the 40%- 75% posts lol. I’m drawing a blank on their names right now. 1 of the older and expensive IBM models is called a battleship, has a crap ton of extra keys. There are some modern versions similar out there. There is one battleship on eBay for like $230 lol.

I have this keyboard and love it I've had no issue whatsoever not even a single double click

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