5.0 out of 5 stars Feels great but needs better QC.
The media could not be loaded. Keystrokes are moderate volume. 3 buttons on left side panel of keyboard. Was quick to setup after a quick restart with razer synapse installed. Tons of assignable keys and knobs available.Only real issues are that they shipped the box with no outer box (theft risk - my first one vanished before it even got to the final delivery truck) and the quality control needs work (glue on the keyboard body leading to a sticky right shift key as seen in the video.)Tried to speak with razer support on the phone but they had a default support script that was wasteful of my time as they tried to get me to use canned air or plug it into a different computer while ignoring what I was communicating about adhesive or stickiness. After asking for a supervisor they instead referred me to contact Bolo support and they were perfectly able to remedy the situation through return/reorder.That said, the keyboard seems nice enough that I'll try one last time. Here's hoping that third try is the charm. 🤷♂️. Minus the qc issue, it seems like a great keyboard.Update 1: Finally got my third keyboard ordered/received and this one seems to be problem free to the best of my ability to discern upon the first few minutes of use.Wrist rest is comfortable, hopefully that remains the case after the weather gets warmer.Update 2: been using the keyboard for a little while now. Compared to other keyboards the Escape key takes a little bit of time to get used to because you may be used to reaching for escape and end up hitting the command dial at first. The rolling volume knob feels pretty good once you get used to using it. I think I had orange switches last time and these feel audibly more mellow than my last keyboard thankfully. As always I use the hell out of a toggle on one of my macro keys to mute and unmute my primary microphone and I'm thankful that the five macro keys are back because of that. Haven't found myself using the keys on the side of the keyboard quite yet but we'll see if I find the purpose for them still.
5.0 out of 5 stars Works well. Comfortable
I like the razor products. Tried a few others and went back to this line again. They can be pricey and lifespan may vary, but they do work as expected and consistent. For a time.
1.0 out of 5 stars Toy wrapped in marketing façade. Fine for kids. But working professionals should steer well clear.
TLDR: slipshod programming, excellent marketeers.[NOTE: apologies for the typos - I had no time to proof my notes. But it takes ages to even list all the issues/flaws, much less document them--I'm far from the only person who has tried... and threw up their hands in defeat.]//skip to Part 2 for better grammar :)PART 1 ----- THE HARDWARE -----Literally every major feature listed (on the Bolo page for naga pro and blackwidow v4 pro) has a major issues 1. Media keys 1. Sunken down too far to be visible, aka too short to see and use easily 2. Hard to see. Symbols are faint. No through-key illumination, only peripheral backlight. Very difficult to see even in good light and without glare of the backlight. 2. Indicators above the arrow keys 1. No backlight, cannot see the text, not that you use these often. 3. Command dial - modes + comments 1. Keyboard brightness ® Redundant. Dedicated fn keys already exist on this very KB 2. Windows zoom. ® Programmed with wrong output (e.g. deprecated in newer windows os) 3. Track jogging. ® Limited utility. Works only when player is in focus, which defeats the main purpose ® Doesn't work will all apps ® Windows media: dial ONLY WORKS WHEN FOCUS IS ALREADY ON TRACK SLIDER. Absolutley useless. ® Under the hood, it's just "shift + left arrow" and "shift + right arrow" 4. Vertical scrolling. ® Good use case: gaming. For button mashing quick-events; perform scroll wheel up/dn if you've already mapped your physical scroll wheel's up/dn to something else ® Useless? For me anyway 5. Horizontal scrolling. ® Actually works. Nice to have when synapse crashes, disabling horizontal scrolling on razer's naga pro mouse. (though I haven't tested this extensively). ® UPDATE. Nvm. Does not work w/o synapse. 6. Switch apps ® Alt + Tab… but much worse. you already have alt-tab. But this is worse. Once you stop turning, it selects that app, but gives you little time to glance through them, so you have to key turning the dial. But if you overshoot and reverse dial turn direction… ◊ It Scrolls in wrong direction // If you reverse scroll direction too quickly, it won't recognize the change in direction, aka the wheel doessn't work well 7. Track selector ® Basic next track, prev track 8. Switch browser tabs ® Why would you need this? 9. Custom modes - user created ® Can be useful, but YMMV ® Gaming: map to scroll wheel 4. Dedicated macro keys 1. M1, M2, M3, M4, M5 - useful 2. Side keys - too easy to bump by accidentOverall hardware quality - fine for <$100, but not remotely worth >$200PART 2 ----- THE SOFTWARE ----- No review of Razer peripherals is complete without mentioning their software, Synapse. Razer Synapse - so, so many issues 1. Required for most features to work, integral to the product listed. 2. Frequently crashes (especially during games). Result: i. Your profile stops working: macros and keys return to default (or to some random ghost profile that you can't delete) ii. Your macros stop working iii. Your lighting stops working 3. Profiles 1. corrupted 2. Hybrid storage doesn’t work (white profile on Naga Pro): unable to retain settings when synapse disconnected 3. Profiles and macros don’t work when signed IN to Synapse, but work OK on a guest account. 4. Unable to sync profiles 5. unable to factory reset / erase profiles (!) 4. Macros don’t work in a dozen ways 1. issues with combined modifiers (like win + ctrl) 2. keys stuck in down-press or un-press 3. keys do not respond 4. corrupted in so many ways... 1. random keystrokes removed from macros 2. unwanted duplicates 3. failure to run 4. failure to duplicate correctly 5. corrupted on import 6. up/down keystroke pairs no longer “linked” 7. no name “No macro” 8. unable to edit 9. unable to wipe from account 5. Not synced 6. Disappeared from account 7. Nonfunctional 1. When signed into Synapse 2. When signed into specific user account 3. At all 8. NOTE: yes, I am sure many (if not all) the issues stem from Razer/Synapse, not the user. eg i checked the macro files themselves and discovered, for example, some were missing ID tags, had the wrong ID, sequenced my inputs differently from what was displayed in Synapse, were missing key-up lines (making your keys/buttons stuck "pressed down"), etc. 9. Keys are incorrectly mapped Example: the inputs {up, down, left, right} are mapped to arrow keys ® But with turbo, they are are mapped to numpad 2,4,6,8… ® But Synapse doesn't automatically deactivate num lock. ® So when you think you're rapidly commanding {up, down, left, right}, Synapse is actually putting out {8, 2, 4, 6} on the numpad. ® Even when using "keyboard recording" i.e. they don't actually record faithfuly your key presses, they estimate. ® This bug is hidden. Zero indication is visible to the user. I had to parse the macro files directly to finally figure out what on earth was going on. 5. resource intensive 1. Consumes 1 GB of RAM 2. Consumes 100 MB to 200 MB of GPU VRAM(!) while machine is idle just after rebooting. 3. Generated >10 GB per user in AppData. (Razer, what on earth are you doing that requires multiple gigabytes?!) 6. Seriously, it's easdier to list what they did right than what they did wrong.This is literally the worst piece of software that I (or most people buying Razer products) will EVER use.PART 3 ----- SUPPORT IS TERRIBLE ----- 1. Razer Support actively dissuades users from contacting support: i. they require A LOT of personal info to even start talking to you. ii. they require VERY invasive logs to even start helping you 1) even if their intent is completely benign, would you really trust Razer Security™ with your personal info? If you think Synapse code is bad, do you think their internal code is any better? 2. they can’t help you anyway (so what was the point of collecting all your personal info?) i. their main advice: 1) uninstall/reinstall everything. 2) don’t get fancy: a) don’t make complicated (useful) macros, b) don’t use USB hubs, including their own accompanying peripheral, c) don’t ‘run too many things at once’ 3. Support forums are littered with tons of “yes-men” who just repeat official lines from Razer i. … even if the advice is irrelevant ii. … even if the advice does not work (see a comment above), eg their driver removal tool doesn’t work on recent firmware patches 4. And yes I’ve tried EVERYTHING while troubleshooting over the years: 1. clean Windows installs 2. new machines. 3. laptops/desktops. 4. different OS. 5. different synapse ver. 6. different combinations of razer products 7. different Razer accounts 8. Multiple of same product 9. safe mode 10. lesson: RAZER PRODUCTS WORK BETTER THE LESS YOU USE THEM. 1. don’t use synapse 2. don’t use macros 3. don’t use chroma / lighting 4. don’t reassign keys 5. don’t mix/match razer products 6. Don't use on multiple profiles on the same computer 7. Don't use on multiple computers 8. etc. ad nauseum 9. … which defeats the point! I could go on for hours… this is just the tip of the iceberg… and these are just the issues i’ve experienced this year alone. Razer has written terrible software and fielded terrible support for years and years. Do you expect them to improve any time soon? From the start and for years on, I was a big fan of Razer products because they offered features not found anywhere else on the market. But their value soured. Their broken software is a deal-breaker. If they invested half as much on software as they did on marketing, they would not need marketing. But I can no longer recommend their products any longer. Even if Razer started discounting their products AND Razer’s competitors all went on vacation (no longer true in 2024, if ever), I could not recommend buying Razer products: they just DON’T work. They are tremendously tiresome, hassle-some, fragile, inconsistent, perpetually broken, and time-consuming. They have wasted thousands of dollars of my time. At minimum. I bought Razer products because they not only accelerated my work, but also enabled me to do things I could not otherwise. So I tolerated their terrible software for a long time... until now. This is the last straw. One can’t help but wonder whether their software issues are intentional. It would make more sense than this calamitous never-ending train-wreck.(Seriously, it's as if they slapped together every feature solely to satisfy a checkbox but performed zero user-testing and or zero quality control, especially in their software. )TERRIBLE PRODUCT.Just buy a Wooting keyboard instead. Or even a Wooting knockoff.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic upgrade from Corsair
I previously had a Corsair K70. I won’t dog on them too bad but, for the price of that keyboard, I would’ve expected higher quality. Instead, I kept having keycaps break during mild gaming. Ultimately, the keyboard met its death via a full cup of soda being spilled on it accidentally.Upon unboxing of this keyboard, the box itself was amazing quality and protected the keyboard despite Bolo’s AWFUL packaging with an outer box about 3x too big for this single keyboard. Excellent job on the packaging on Razer’s part.The silent keys are AMAZING compared to my clacky Corsair. These sound quiet enough that they won’t be picked up by mics with every single keystroke. THANK YOU Razer for making this an option right out of the box.The command dial is a fancy little thing that I haven’t played with much yet, but as a digital artist, I’m so stoked I was able to set it up to undo and redo things with a simple twist.The volume wheel is AMAZING quality in comparison to the one on the Corsair K70. It has stiff movement rather than being loose and too easy to accidentally change volume.The wrist rest is something I’ve never had on a previous keyboard but I LOVE it. Perfect amount of cushion.My only two complaints would be the lack of backlight on the media keys and the occasional issue with Synapse not recognizing the keyboard which messes with my personalized lighting.All in all, WELL worth the price.Note: I did replace a few keycaps for gaming purposes.
super teclado sin problema alguno hasta el momento
lo mejor de lo mejor de razer !!
Excelente teclado
Súper teclado, honestamente es súper caro, pero me gusta mucho y es muy cómodo, estoy muy feliz con mi compra, hasta la fecha no he tenido ningún problema con el, si tienes la oportunidad de comprarlo dale, recomiendo los switches amarillos suenan bien y son cómodos.
Muy buena calidad
Es el primer teclado que compro.Es el estilo contemporáneo.Estoy feliz con mi compa no se siente barata hasta la cuerda usb muy reciente.Las luces son muy lindas.
Great keyboard, works as expected
Another great product from Razer, and since all of my gear is Razer, it only made sense to go with a Razer keyboard. I have the Green switches, and I've seen a few reviews of people saying how loud the green switches are, and I can tell you from experience, they are not as loud as I was expecting them to be. Razer says these are the Gen 2 Green Switches and are supposed to be better. A friend of mine has an older Razer keyboard with green switches and his keyboard is a bit louder than mine. I guess over time the keys will feel different and may sound a bit louder, but for the time being the tactile and clicky sound and feel is acceptable. Granted, I wouldn't recommend using this keyboard in an office or a school setting, but for everyday use, this keyboard is perfect.I haven't had a chance to use the keyboard to its full potential yet, but it does come with just about everything but the kitchen sink. There are a few miner annoyances with this keyboard. First of all, the Command Dial is too close to the Esc key, I think Razer could have left a bit more room between the two buttons. Secondly, it's very easy to accidentally press the 3 macro keys on the left-hand side of the keyboard, so I have mine disabled. Someone may find 8 macro keys useful, however, I think it's a bit overkill. Last but not least, you can tune this keyboard's polling rate all the way up to 8000 Hz, but realistically speaking, there is no real-world advantage to this, so for all intents and purposes, I feel 2000 Hz of polling is adequate for most users--gamers and everyday users, alike.
nice keyboard
Well to start with this is NOT a UK layout keyboard even though in the Q&A the seller says it is! Lovely keyboard with still a fair amount of noise for the yellow switches, i was expecting an almost silent key press. The keyboard wil take a short time to gve used to as my previous had a large enter key and this one isnt as large and i keep pressing # and enter at the same time. Shortcut keys are a nice touch and the 3 macro buttons on the side were a surprise when i accidently pressed them. Think i will have to change the default on those for when gaming!
