RazerBlackWidow V3 Tenkeyless (Green Switch) - Compact Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (Clicky Mechanical Switches, Compact Form Factor, Fully Programmable Keys) UK Layout | Black

i looove the feel of the clacky keys, it would be awful for live streaming as they have a satisfying "clunk" BUT if thats ok this is a SOLID peice of kit . NLucsh illumination and great feed back on the keys. No, number pad so trying to work out how to use num keys in games and apps .. will look it up.#This is quite chunky and tall (thickness / key height) but pretty compact other than that. It looks great too.

This is a great gaming keyboard, with great customisation options (in terms of both lighting and modes, key mapping, etc.).This is my first mechanical gaming keyboard, after switching from a very old hand-me-down Logitech G110! First impressions were of the good quality packaging, and it was very easy to set up, pretty much plug and play if you already have the Razer software installed, which I did as I already had a Razer mouse.I like the feel and feedback of the tactile switches, but this does take some getting used to if it's your first mechanical! The keys are quite noisy but you end up not noticing. Tactile is not so great for typing, such as in Word processors, etc. as I keep on managing to either miss or double hit letters, but again, this may just be that I need to get used to it, and this isn't the primary functionality of the keyboard anyway as it's aimed at gaming instead of typing.From my gaming experience so far, it's been like night and day from switching from the non-mechanical Logitech. The response is just so much better and even when you are using it wirelessly, it has very fast response times.The ergonomic wrest is great quality and provides good support, the only downside is it remains separate from the keyboard (there's no way to attach it to the keyboard), so this does slide on my particular desk, which is glass, however I will soon be getting a Razer Goliathus Extended Mat, which should [hopefully] solve this.The battery life is okay, but it does drain quite quickly under heavy usage. The battery level indicator is on the side and very basic (in that it's just a tiny LED that's green when charged or red when low battery or charging), and it being on the side is a little annoying as it's easy to not notice it. So I have had the keyboard die on me during gameplay (not great when you're playing WarZone!), you do get a notification on Windows 10, via the Razer Synapse software, that it has low battery, but Windows notifications don't show for me during gameplay, hence another reason it died. The battery takes ages to charge via USB connection to the PC, however, if you plug it in via USB into the mains, it charges a lot quicker in my experience.I haven't used it connected via Bluetooth, however I have used it via wired and wireless connection. Both wired and wireless, in my experience, have been faultless.I love how customisable it is, and you can easily sync lighting effects across different Razer devices in the Synapse software, and across different PCs due to onboard memory. It's very easy to adjust key mappings, etc. in Synapse too.Overall, it's a great keyboard, and I'm glad I took the plunge in upgrading!

Packaged in a luxurious feeling box, this keyboard oozes style and charm. It's not all about its looks though. Oh no - this keyboard is tough and can survive many drops and knocks without a problem. The Cherry MX Green key switches make a clicking noise as you typing so it may be a little noisy for some people (seek Cherry MX Red and Cherry MX Red Silent key switches for those who like a silent typing experience).Although tough, be careful because the keys are the weak point. The Cherry MX Green switches have fragile stems. This is the plastic "cross" bit you see when you pull a key off a Cherry MX switch.I am a keen gamer as well as a web developer, so I needed a keyboard that was multi-purpose. The tactile experience makes my typing improve no end. I adore this keyboard, and will be switching to Razer products after my Corsair Strafe RGB didn't make the grade (it broke and the USB port snapped after much use). I have been using this Razer for about 12 hours a day for the last week and it works amazingly well.One of the nice features is that is works wirelessly and wired. You can use it as a USB keyboard (USB-C micro port) or you can charge the internal lithium cell (1) and use the very easy-to-configure bluetooth OR 2.4GHz connection if you have a dongle.I cannot advocate for this keyboard enough. It's amazing and one in a million. If you can afford the price tag then you can do a lot worse for the money than this beautiful, sleek black keyboard with its RGB colour effects that are handy when working in the dark and you want to see what you are typing.

I already had two mechanical keyboards of the cheap variety that weren't quite perfect. One is robust, heavy, really solid, but has no volume rocker/ dial. The other one has a lovely dial for volume, and is also pretty solid, but the keyboard layout sucked and the enter key was tiny, causing mistypes.This keyboard has the perfect layout, but it costs almost four times as much as the cheap ones. It's also far lighter and has a plastic, cheap feeling to it, even though it's far more expensive. The multimedia controls in particular just feel awful. The button is a wobbly bit of plastic and the rocker is also plastic and feels like it won't last. The keyboard itself has good customisation, but requires the awful Razer Central to be installed to work. The software seems to have an update almost every other day and it's not even particularly well put together. I got the layout I wanted, but it was an effort, also the keyboard doesn't light up the way I want it until long after Windows has launched, as it needs the Razer application to also be running.I've grown to like the keyboard, but it doesn't feel like a mechanical one, just a good gaming keyboard. The whole thing is light and the plastic feel makes me think it's not going to last as long as my cheap (but more solid) keyboards. I probably won't be buying a Razer keyboard again, as it just doesn't feel like good value for the cost. It didn't even come with spare keys or a cover/ case.

Functions perfectly and has great gaming features as well as good value for the money Size is the standard keyless and fits well in compact setups
