Razer Wants HOW MUCH for this Keyboard!?

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 พ.ค. 2021
- After launching some of the best gaming keyboards like the Huntsman and mice like the Viper, Razer is now launching a wireless 65% gaming keyboard. The Blackwidow V3 Mini Hyperspeed looks great but after using it for a while, I'm not sure this gaming keyboard is priced competitively for what's being offered.

I would simply buy claymore II by ROG better stronger cheaper good form factor
Its better if they sell it for 30$.
Honestly, I think that making a video about " Leopold " Keyboards would be a good idea.
It is, imo, the best brand for prebuilt keyboard, in terms of quality and price.
Those are not keyboards for evryone, most of them dont include LEDS. Still, the keycaps are the best ever included on a prebuilt keyboard (double shot, PBT).
People looking for quality and affordable keyboards should not miss this brand that deserve more recognition.
PS: I know he already talked about it in a video, but doing a video just for the brand would be a good idea.
@@wakozz124 old keyboard like dell/hp office still works for any game. what it does is TYPE letter..it all based on your brain reaction. it has nothing to do if keyboard has 1ms response or 200ghz response what so ever or silent click...keyboard is useless. its purpose is to type letter
Razer:
“$179 for a 65% thank you very much.”
Custom keyboard enthusiasts:
“Hold my beer”
$179? They don’t even need someone to hold their beer for that one. People will spend that on keycaps.
I mean for 179, you can afford some rubber feets for your custom keyboard lol, maybe just enough keycaps for half of your board lol
but when that custom keyboard can be changed out however and whenever. its far better
@@thisjustanother of course. Custom keyboards are superior in just about every way.
@Calc Yeah, not saying there aren't cheap options. Just saying that for someone looking to spend money on custom keyboards - you can blow through $179 without breaking a sweat. 70 zilent V2s alone are about $100 CAD.
So, this is where Dave2D's table went.
Yup😂
Yeah I can see him picking up this table from Dave from Kijiji lol
Lmaooo
lol exactly what I was thinking. I do miss that format.
hahah EPIC!
I am using the BlackWidow v3, and it is really fantastic. Especially love the switches as well as the sturdy build & design. What´s annoying is the finish of the metal, like Dimitri mentioned, it gets gross very fast and needs to be cleaned all the time. Additionally pricing is just 30% to high. But still love it, multi device over 2.4 Ghz and BT is also a huge plus for me. Thanks for the video!
That's $240 in Canada, Wow! indeed
I feel like I should tell you guys about its prices in India but I'm frustrated and the gist of the matter is, here, we make less than you guys (on average), and gaming or pc shit costs more. So. Much. More.
That's a custom mechanical keyboard right there...
Plus 13% tax if ur from Ontario... It's almost 300$ might as well build ur own keyboard if ur spending that much
@@arimukh28 I understand your pain (not Indian, but I get it).
You make less, everything is more expensive, and when you see people complain about 200 or so USD it conversely seems cheap to you and you don't understand why they complain lol.
@@JenZIGFX IkR here in Quebec tax is 15% which makes this 276$.... and well yeah, abs key caps and it’s not hotswappable.
For 180 dollars I expect it to have snake oil lubed switches and keycaps from blackwidow exoskeleton
I've seen that comment from a randomfrankp video
@@BLAKGRIP yup dude is copying it from someone else
@@BLAKGRIP I am the person who commented it on Frank's video
@@ghost_ib9928 I am the person who commented it on Frank's video
>wants high quality keycaps for what amounts to less than $80 in the case of this boards price
do I have some bad news for you...
Wow I haven't watches HC for a while and your quality of reviews improved a lot! Good job guys! :)
Just when I thought your video quality couldn't get any better you drop this banger. Awesome work guys!
You can't say "I'm disappointed they don't have this feature at this price point but glad because if they did it would've been even more expensive." The reason you're disappointed it's not there at that price point is because that price typically covers the cost of that feature. What is making this keyboard worth MSRP given that it doesn't have this feature? If you can't answer that, call them out for it. In another review I heard they wanted to offer multiple languages and that would've ramped up the cost of ABS but they also said they're working on ABS keycaps to sell for their own products and that seems like a much more likely reason they didn't include them here. That said, doubleshot is pretty good and standard for their keycaps generally so they have that defense.
See the thing is, Razer continously sells stuff at a really high price point, cos its "Razer" cos they are 'gamers' . The fact that you endorse this expensive keyboard shows how blind you are.
Razer IMO always use cheap materials and third tier CMs to make their products.
What you are essentially buying is the name/brand Razer and the triple headed snake logo.
@@shawshankredemption7793 I literally am complaining that he went easy on Razer in my comment. I never endorsed this keyboard. I actually suggested they went with doubleshot over PBT so they could sell aftermarket PBT keycaps. The only positive thing I had to say was that doubleshot keycaps are in fact good.
@@shawndiaz7528 well ya shouldnt have made your comment so long ;)
@@shawndiaz7528 i agree, the keycaps are okay, for the price they’re good but man the rest is just shit haha
He can't do that lol. Razer is one of his sponsors.
Dimitri my man, can you do a video on the Hyperx alloy origins core? Heard so many good things from other keyboard reviewers, but I need your opinion, since I value it the most out of all, when it comes to keyboards. Great Video as always!
Bro thank you for pointing out the rgb issue when riding the orochi dongle, I thought I was doing something wrong. I guess I’ll just use both dongles until they fix this
thanks man that was really helpful :)
Awesome video! Any idea if this has foam dampening in between pcb and backplate like the huntsman v2 tkl?
Would like to see 65% Huntsman, I can make do without wireless if optical switches are available. They did a lot right with this keyboard, only if it were cheaper. If I don’t see another version come soon I’ll probably buy this in a sale.
Either way I’m happy their making 65% keyboards.
great video. will you do a epos h3?
I use a tartarus for gaming and need a wireless keyboard for typing so i think this will do nicely and match all my other razer products especially since it will be replacing a razer turret which had green anyways.
$180 is a ridiculous price. I can get the following 65% KB for roughly $60. All hot-swappable.
Tecware B68,
Royal Kludge RK68
Redragon K599
True tho
or a starter custom
Or an NK65 with gateron yellows for 130$-ish
@@ggplaying6624 the NK65 was one of the worst keyboards I have ever used...sold that quickly to some other sucker
99 euros on amazon right now ( 118 dollars ) so i'm buying it for this price
lol popping out from under the desk to start the viddy, nice.
Nice video. I always appreciate your reviews of gaming peripherals because you're honest and it seems like something you are passionate about. Agree the price point is bad, but I managed to pick this up on sale for $120 right now because I've really been wanting a wireless gaming keyboard. Much more reasonable at that price IMO. Good news for everyone else, is since I just bought this they will probably release something better like a wireless Huntsman Mini
As a hardcore Razer fan, I am equally disappointed at the lack of ‘exciting’ features for the price
Agreed
Hey which keyboard is better for competitive gaming razor huntsman te or apex pro tkl??
@@LoLo-vh2hn neither build your own
@@cykablyat114 are you sure?? What starter board would u suggest??
@@LoLo-vh2hn kbd67lite
Great video!
Is it possible to turn off rgb light for logo on keyboard?
Razer is one of the most over priced brands in PC parts for us third worlders at least so I am not surprised they would overcharge for this as well.
It's not a matter of which part of the world you live in, I think. Razer has been putting out some good stuff, but on some of their products they still are ... well ... very ambitioned. The BlackWidow line (v3 Pro and this one especially) is a good example, it is way overpriced and honestly a little schizophrenic in terms of its design. Sure, you can argue that ABS keycaps are cheaper and enable you to do this and that all day long, but at this price there should just be PBT. Period. Asus is doing similar stuff with its Claymore II, arguably even worse.
logitech is overpriced too
Look at custom 65% keyboard builds then tell me thats overpriced
@@metazoinqb3rt299 Not really all that comparable, don't you think? ^_^
@@metazoinqb3rt299 idk about you but i can build a 60% hotswap with black inks and durock piano stabs with under US$150.
Is there a review of that green LED lightbar somewhere? First time seeing one of these.
Will they release a mercury version of this? I have been looking for a clean white all wireless setup for a long time.
could you maybe do a video on the best wired gaming headsets? I and probably many others would really appreciate it
Dimitri is looking SWOLE. Glad you’re back my dude!
for the longest time I've been wanting more 65% options and have been looking for reasonably priced ones with dongles but damn it's so hard
Might I ask, how was the filming of your new music video "Cutthroat"?
After getting used to my lubed dark jade blacks with a foam dampened wood case, those greens legit sound like nails on a chalkboard
After I heard the spacebar I thought it wasn't that bad, then I heard enter, backspace and left shift. Why would you only lube one stabilizer pair??
The TKL version is on sale for 68 USD with yellow switches. Is it worth the money or should I get something else?
Nice video, just wonders anyone knows why the "C" Key turns on while pressing the "Fn" Key? I didn't see any function binding with the "C" Key. Thanks.
At the same price, wich one i should buy? Rog falchion or razer blackwidow v3 mini?
Can you use the BlackWidow Pro Dongle with a Razer Viper Ultimate?
Is it worth it that it’s 80 bucks in most marks places like target and amazon for the wired iteration
The only question is, will it rust like any other blackwidow keyboard? Most of my blackwidow developed rust even though I was really careful and clean on my set ups :/
What you take this or the huntsman mini with red linears?
I really want a dual wireless keyboard: bluetooth to connect to my MacBook Pro and wireless dongle to connect to my gaming PC. Arrow keys are crucial for the mac. Currently my setup is the MacBook Pro, gaming PC and Nintendo Switch, all connected to a 32" 4K Monitor, and i just switch the input to the device i'm currently using. Ideally brown switches and has to be in white to match my mouse/desk. Currently I'm using a keyboard that can switch to 5 different bluetooth settings however my gaming PC, either the bluetooth is not always connecting or the input lag is way to great (I wonder if it's because my case is aluminum and causing interference (Dan A4 case). I remember Hardware Canucks did a early look at a CoolerMaster keyboard that has this dual wireless connection (and really hope it will have a white version....maybe the same white as the CoolerMaster NR200 case).
My question is that can you use that keybored can you use it for iPads too? Like the iPad Air
tbh if you want arrow keys just get a anne pro 2, which is a 60% with a tap function which turns shift alt ctrl and fn into arrow keys
You know people complain about the price but lets talk about the ducky miya at 160. Non wireless and white leds versus RGB/wireless/200hrs of battery. Idk an extra 20 doesnt sound so bad now does it?
I feel like if you used 1 dongle 2 peripherals is because, mice and a keyboard together is a high amount of polling rate running wirelessly and putting stress on the inputs with only 1 dongle.
I recently bought a 65% too. It's the perfect size IMO.
I got a proper mechanical keyboard with PBT keycaps at 110 USD so how is it going to add extra cost again !?
For that price, there is no reason the keyboard shouldn’t have a knob. Insanely expensive for no reason
no there is a reason. Razer lol
@@Lonehawk2k4 Agreed!
Size?
@@Lonehawk2k4 just like apple there's no real competition so they can price it at whatever price
It doesn't even give us wall hacking lol
Just get the z88 mechanical 65% for 50 bucks. Essentially the same thing. Been using it for years no issues
Better get Anne Pro 2 or Rk61,Redragon k530
isnt that 70 or 75% kb
@@wtfareperfectplaces also 60%
Just get a Womier K66
just get a gk64
I have a Razer widow first generation. I never change since then. I hope razer will produce long lasting keyboard again.
is this 4K stream true 60fps cos it looks smooth smooth
man seeing all these other and new 65%s, i dont understand why ducky designed their one 2 sf like that. the gap isnt the biggest deal but idfk why they left a blank space there where most others would put the insert key. but the gap also makes taking the plate out difficult as u have to remove the top part of the case which is designed to not really be easily removed. so now my top case piece has a bunch of nicks, bends, and a crack. not super noticeable with where they are but still
Please make review of Zotac Magnus One ECM73070C Mini Desktop.
A little of rattly rattle on those stabs tho, and for 180? WOW
a little? it sounds crappy...
Almost all stabilizers rattle. A factory can lubricate them, but the job usually that done is not great and better that consumer does it.
@@mykola2535 the problem is, that keeb isn't even hotswap, if you wanna DIY you have to desolder every switch, and again, we talking about a fn 180 dollar keyboard
@@wuichovengeance yeah, if it’s 180 it better be hotswap
@@mykola2535 not to that extent man, sorry but those are just as bad as on a 15$ keyboard...
just bought this today, charged it for some time and my keyboard battery drains so fast. how is that?
You should check out a real quality state of art Keyboard like the upcoming werk one 🔥🔥🔥
I think they listened to the part about pbt bc now you can buy one with pbt phantom key caps for 200
I used to love Razer products up to a few years ago-between the cost, driver issues, Synapse, and the constant background traffic to their mothership (what are they sending back home anyway?) I'm done with them. Still using a few of their parts but I ripped out their software and just go generic...it's not worth the hassle.
synapse still sucks as iCue?
Also include that the build quality often is abysmal. I've read horror stories on some of the mouse that stop working after a month or two or the switch become mushy.
I've been using razer for long i guess. never had such issues for my bw 2014 ed and mamba elite 2015. gonna replace them for new upgrades. my only problem is the light in my keyboard is of in 2 keys. but still works.
i had the first razer naga and razer lycosa keyboard in my best hardcore gaming years and they were amazing devices specifically the first razer naga with the two small extra keys left from the L button and R button. In the following years I bought the razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2013 and razer Naga 2014 and the party starts: the keyboard at the first week the f1 key it had issue with lighting I returned. Now for the razer naga it had connectivity issues with synapse and ofc synapse start the first problems as software. after my experience and the experiences of others with the razer gear I never bought razer again and the only razer I still have is Goliathus mouse pad it was a gift... I used razer peripherals and corsair (icue it sucked).For mainstreet companies i recommend logitech (for evrything but the price :/ ) hyperx (mics headsets keyboards) steelseries (headsets keyboards mice) Corsair (keyboards meh stabilizers but oook, headsets ok and mouses ok but synapse sucked ) Roccat ( vulcan keyboards
I'd do that if only my Razer Tartarus Pro actually had onboard memory to save profiles. Unfortunately, you HAVE to log into synapse to access any profiles you make for it. Sad, considering how amazing the tartarus pro actually is and it is one of the only razer products I'd actually recommend to someone I liked
Is it okay to charge this with charging block?
5:48 "can't have optical on a wireless keyboard"
*laught in rog claymore II*
Lmao
Lmao
I wanted some royal kludge keyboard but in the end i overpaid for this one becuase i wanted good wireless connectivity for couch gaming
love the green ftw
What is the keychron K3? its a 65% with the FN row. I love the layout. Its productive yet compact for gaming.
65% with F keys are called 75%
If you can get Durgod Hades for less... with PBT caps.. better LEDs.. just better.. why would you get the Widow V3? Just for the wireless??
As of today the green switches are sale on amazon for 99.99. With yellow switches sold separately for 24.99. Or the one with yellow switches are on sale for 139.99 amazon.
it took me awhile with the ASUS 65% keyboard, the PBT keycaps are nice but feel scratchy
Razer greens sound like clicking a pen multiple times, its REALLY annoying.
ikr i would rather use box jades
I have them on an old board and they don’t feel good either, really harsh click, makes it hard to game on.
I love the sound
All clicky switches are annoying.
Is this compatible on iPad Pro?
Hasn't any company tried to come up with a device that can make any keyboard wireless? I mean theoretically all it would require would be a connection to the keyboard's USB port with a powerbank as an energy source and a basic bluetooth/wireless receiver.
Blackwidow v3 tkl or Huntsman TE?
Now I can't unsee the wave thing on the windows logo.
I've tried to use a 65% and it just didn't work out for me. I kept hitting the up arrow key when trying to push the right shift 😑😂 they are really nice tho and save a lot of desk space. TKL for life!
At this price point you can build something like a GK64X with blue tooth. At that point you can pick everything from the switches and the keycaps and still come under and if you want a full 65% around the same price is the Drop Alt and again you can change the switches and caps after the fact. The only downside to the alt is it's not wireless.
the yellows are very nice sounding
Might as well as build a custom keeb
In terms of basic functions of peripheral software such as connection and profile switching, every other major brand can get it done smoothly. Synapse just can't even get the basics done. Sounds a lot like overcomplicating things.
I just want a revisited Razer Orbweaver Stealth gamepad, way better than a keyboard especially when one's have carpal tunnel syndrome.
Been playing with gamepads since the first Belkin Nostromo and I can't play with anything else. Had 2 Nostromo, 2 52te, 2 Tartarus, 2 Orbweaver Stealth. I'm gonna have to make a stock I guess.
The best layout is 75% with the arrow cluster separated.
Bluetooth 5.2 does *not* support 1000 Hz polling. It is probably the 2.4GHz dongle that is capable of that ... if the airwaves are not congested, etc.
how do I pair multiple devices to 1 dongle?
Damn that price. I guess I'll stay with my RK G-68. 65, it can both wireless(bluetooth and 2.4GHz) and wired, switch are hot-swappable and I bough mine for like $45
been using this keyboard for a week now can confirm its a great daily driver
A more interesting point is about turning off the lights in exchange for 200 hours of battery life in unlimited mode, but when you turn off the lights you can't see any text on the keycaps.......
Dimitri: "The 65% keyboard market is about to explode"
Custom Keyboard Community experiencing the 65% keyboards 2 years ago: WELL WELL WELL
ikr. " 65% gaming keyboard" market is probably what he intended to say
TKL is still the absolute smallest I can use without issues. Tried a 65% recently and immediately missed the home and end keys, along with all my F keys (and yes i know FN + number is Fx but not the same IMO)
Have you tried 70%? If yes, why did you not like it?
I switched from a mechanical keyboard to the amazingly silent logitech silent touch keyboard. It feels good to type on too.
DAMN! Again godlike shots! Dimitry you are god!
I hope they make 60% white versions of these with razer yellow swithes
The stabs make my soul hurt.
SHEEP Stabs™️
Yeah those stabilizers were yikes
The switches are just as bad tho
i did not like listening to that
There was a point where I wanted to try out clickys just to see how they are.
But now i get irretated at the tactiles i have on my capslock, fn and win keys
As someone who just got a Drevo Calibur V2 Pro for 50(!!) bucks, I find it hard to justify spending more than 3 times as much for something that is essentially the same thing. Never had a Drevo before but I'm honestly impressed with what you get for that price. I've used Cherry MX Browns for years but I honestly wouldn't be able to tell a difference to the Outemu Browns in my Calibur. If you can spend $180 you might as well go custom.
If this was wired at and $130, I would've bought it on the spot. I've been using a Ducky Mecha Mini and really miss the arrow keys. Plus, being able to buy from a retailer with easy returns is hugely underrated.
The black widow 65% hyperspeed (phantom edition) is currently $130 on Amazon. I just bought myself one
GMMK Pro for $180 is a better value. It's not 65% but you get a gasket mounted hot-swappable QMK & VIA compatible TKL keyboard or you can go with a Keychron or even Drop's ALT keyboard.
is it hot swappable
With that you can build something with the glorious gmmk pro and some nice switches
GMMK Pro is $179 USD + tax, and $50+ for switches and another $50 for keycaps, so not really
Edit: also it's 75% so a different category technically
@@Evan-bx5wb Plus depending on the country slap a 25% Value added Tax ontop of *Each* purchase
Same price but difference approach. Gmmk pro build to last, also if switch damage you can replace it. Custom keyboard for yourself. But this one is wireless + bluetooth. It lightweight and small for small package that you can travel with. Bt help you connect to multi devices, it have built in battery, and way better software than glorious. All after all, i’m consider between them but i’m falling for wireless and bt. I don’t want to plug in plug out everytime i’m going. And not to worry about cable and dongle. On other hand, i also like gmmk build quality.
I would get something like a kbd67lite, gateron yellows, cheap keycaps, and some lube
@@NamelessPassenger For that, you really have to think more about its quality and customizability (assuming that you want to lube the switches and mod them). And no, they are not the same price, GMMK Pro isn't $179 USD (you only get the case for that price, switches and keycaps are separate purchase).
Remember that GMMK Pro has knobs, it's 75% and probably the biggest of all, gasket mount. You can't compare that to a keyboard like this one, literally an entierly different class of keyboards. GMMK Pro is "budget enthusiast".
i have the keychron K6 and it looks less gamey, but is really awesome
you seem to like keyboards with tall switches haha (I don't know the...lingo; typing from a Logitech K800, which I much prefer over "normal" keyboards)
Picked this up for for a little under $90 after tax and seems like a decent deal with the multi device pairing. Let’s see how it turns out..
NICE. I might grab one this Christmas. Trying to get away from Cables. :)
is this compatible with macbooks???
Got one new on Amazon for 47€ yesterday it is supposed to be delivered today, I don't think I can complain if anything is not top notch for this price
Just bought this keyboard llast night, after using blue switches and silver speed switches for the longest time. It feels like I'm pressing on marshmallows. But will take some time to get used to.
The problem with the "silent" switches is that it doesn't matter how quiet the switches are because the stabs are so freaking rattly.
Why no one give keycap some sound silencer too.. i really want 0 dB sound keyboard
