   Summary: The Razer BlackWidow V4 Mini 65% keyboard is phenomenal. It boasts incredible wireless connectivity (zero issues or latency while gaming for me) and the included orange switches are great and easily swappable! Battery life is great and it’s easily rechargeable and/or hardwired with the included cable. No complaints from me after a couple months of on and off use! 5/5!

   Wireless: I ran this exclusively in 2.4Ghz connection any time it was wireless. It was flawless! I actually stepped up to this brand because the current mini 65% I own was much cheaper and the lag/latency while gaming with it was terrible! The Razer BlackWidow V4 had zero issues with lag/latency during gaming. Key presses were immediately registered and I saw immediate reaction in games. Fantastic!

   Wired: You can run it wired (you will, any time it’s charging) and I had zero issues with this. The included cable is high quality and was plenty long enough for me.

   Battery Life: Incredible for me! With me gaming 2-4 hours a day and a bit more on weekends the battery lasts weeks for me and charging is really fast. Very happy with battery life!

   Hardware: I found the included orange switches to be great for gaming. Razer actually discontinued the orange switches for a couple years and many people were upset with that. They’re back on the V4! You can actually find them on Amazon, they currently have 83 reviews and are at a 4.1/5.0 stars. Just search “Razer mechanical switches orange” and you should see them if you want to read a bunch more details and reviews. I actually think Razer missed the mark on their product page for this keyboard because they don’t go into any details at all about the orange switches. Like… You already have an entire product page for them, just take a couple of those product photos and add them to the product description for the keyboard.

   Hotswappable: No issues at all using the hot swap pliers/pluckers I own and I was able to swap switches and key caps just as easily as with other keyboards I’ve done it on.

   That concludes my review, my summary is above and I’ll copy/paste it:

   Bought this past weekend to replace a MUCH cheaper off-brand 60% keyboard that lasted 3 years. This keyboard has a 2 year warranty out of the box so I’m expecting it to last at least that long if not twice that. Love the “ghost”/phantom keycaps, as I prefer to call the pudding style keycaps. Very classy, well made keyboard. Do wish it was a bit heavier/made sturdier/more rigid — it has lightweight aluminum top plate and a plastic bottom. I would’ve gone with steel bottom for extra weight.

   The keyboard could be a bit shorter, but it has about a 1/2″ lower “lip”/bezel that is basically just for more RGB effect and to show off the logo. Would’ve preferred not to have this as I’m used to using this with my laptop and my last keyboard would fit very comfortably over the lower part of my laptop keyboard where trackpad/palm rest is — this keyboard is just a tad too tall for my use case, I have to let it “hang”/overlap over the bottom edge of my laptop. I also transport it to work and use it at a regular desk which works as intended.

   I love that you can reprogram almost any key and even add a 2nd “hypershift” function to most keys, however you will need to use the Synapse 4 software which actually comes loaded into the keyboard ROM and will try to install itself when you first plug this in. The downside to the software is that some functions only work if you’ve got the software installed on the computer AND running in the background — can’t install 3rd party software on most corporate/school machines, so you’ll need to “program”/map out your keys on a personal machine and thankfully those keys bindings save to the keyboard ROM, AND you can save and cycle through about 3 or 4 whole profiles on the keyboard once you’ve made them in the software, they save and work on the keyboard even when switched to a machine with no software.

   This HOWEVER does NOT work for ANY of the lighting or macro recording features, so you’ll be stuck with the stock color cycling mode when not using the keyboard on a machine with no software installed AND running — my cheap keyboard let you cycle through colors and lighting patterns/modes with keyboard shortcuts, this keyboard only lets you adjust the brightness, that’s a #FAIL for Razer here for forcing us to install and use their software for simple and basic functions that SHOULD be built-in accessible.

   Other than those two gripes; (the taller than necessary dimension and required software for basic color control and macro usage,) I’m quite satisfied with the keyboard, it has softer/quieter “orange” key switches than the V3 TKL model with “green” key switches that I had to return a few days prior due to being too loud for my tastes and needing to use in an office setting. For reference my cheap no name keyboard used their own version of what are known as “brown” switches, well the orange are Razer’s version of the browns, they’re tactile with a very slight click sound, green switches are from my understanding Razer’s version of a blue switch, which is very tactile and audibly clicky; they also make a switch available on some models that is yellow, that’s like a red switch, which is a quiet and linear feel with no tactile sensation, just “thocky” from my understanding.

   Clicky feel/clacky sound=super tactile=blue/green.

   Slight clicky feel/much less clacky sound=average tactile feel=brown/orange.

   Mushy feel/thocky sound to silent=non-tactile/linear feel=red/yellow.

   These keys are made for the smallest hands in the world. I was going to replace my tenkless wired corsair but these keys are so tiny its ridiculous. The keys also have this weird stickiness to them when you press down. It is a really awful keyboard!

   This keyboard is IT. Coming from a MacBook Pro, I was worried the Razer BlackWidow V4 Mini wouldn’t give me that smooth typing vibe I’m used to, but man, it delivers and then some. The keys feel so satisfying to type on—responsive but not too loud—and setting it up was mad easy. Bluetooth is seamless, and the HyperSpeed Wireless? No lag at all.

   What sold me, though, is how versatile it is. I needed something I could use for work during the day and gaming at night, and this thing handles both flawlessly. It’s professional enough to bring to a meeting without looking extra but still has that RGB sauce to pop when you’re gaming.

   This is hands-down the best mini keyboard on the market. Whether you’re typing essays, coding, or racking up dubs in a game, the BlackWidow V4 Mini is the truth.
