Razer BlackWidow Lite TKL Tenkeyless Mechanical Keyboard : Orange Key Switches - Tactile & Silent - White Individual Key Lighting - Compact Design - Detachable Cable - Classic Black

The only thing wrong is the cable is too long. My keyboard is six inches from the computer, but the cable is 8 feet long. good sturdy cable, is IN THE WAY. Is there any way I can get a shorter cable to connect the keyboard to the computer without filling all my workspace? The keyboard itself is the best I have ever had, and Ive been dealing with keyboards for 33 years, not counting typewriters.

Excellent secondary keyboard for gaming. Very sturdy. Keys have a resonate, click, when punched (much like the keyboards of yore) but this is pleasing and very beneficial to a gaming rig.

The box says for gamers by gamers but Im a programmer not a gamer... I have a much cheaper tenkeyless keyboard with noisy blue cherry keys that I really like but is too noisy for my wife since I work from home. I chose this keyboard because their website had sound samples and so I had a good idea that it would be quieter before I paid so much. It is MUCH quieter than the blue cherry as I hoped. The O rings help only a little bit. My wife is MUCH happier too. The downside is that the shifted function on the keys is not backlit. The first image shows the keyboard with backlighting on. I replaced the 0) key with one from my blue cherry keyboard. It fit and the second image shows that the ) is visible with the backlight on the other keyboard. Unfortunately the skirt is too long on the keys for the blue cherry keyboard and the stroke bottoms out on the skirt, which increases the noise. I used a dremel tool to scratch some of the secondary functions through the black paint so that they are visible with backlighting. Its not pretty but it works for me. Such a small change in how they printed the keycaps and it would have been a great keyboard for gamers and programmers.

Wanted a tkl for gaming and working from home. I definitely found it with this one. The orange switches are nice and tactile with a quieter but still audible actuation. The included o-rings are essential for the sound to be dampened further and since this is advertised as a silent keyboard Id say the rings are completely necessary to get as close to that as possible. Typing feel good and smooth, caps sit at a normal height, not flat like a mac keyboard for reference. I type quick and the board responds well with no accidental keystrokes. Aesthetically I love the minimal look of the board, lighting is vibrant on full and can be minimized from the keyboard shortcuts or through Razer Synapse. Keycaps are ABS and after more than 2 months of daily use, mainly gaming, the WASD keys are a bit shiny but otherwise the board holds up to all my expectations.

First off, im reviewing this 5 hours after receiving the keyboard so I cant speak for longevity or durability at all. Ive owned one other mechanical keyboard in my life, the Corsair Strafe with mx cherry silents. That keyboard was great, nothing against it, but holy moly does this one blow the corsair out of the water. The way the keys physically feel (smooth and velvety against your fingers), the minimalistic look with no overbearing logos or fuss (just straight keys and RGB-ness), and my god that wrist rest. My corsair included a very hard plastic textured wrist rest, and while it was nice it was clunky and never something i actually wanted to use. This wrist rest makes a world of difference. Its like owning a deluxe mattress for your hands. The RGB and synapse software is great too. I do a lot of iRacing and my keyboard is synced with that software, so the RGB changes color in accordance to which flag is out while racing. I have the yellow switches, and while they are not clicky and tactile, they still feel nice to press and still give you that satisfaction every time you type that you can only get with a mechanical keyboard. I imagine if you do a ton of gaming and want to feel a definite feedback from your key presses and dont care about the bump up in noise, orange is probably the way to go. Overall, i got this on sale for 70 dollars and I feel like it was a steal. I know the big issue with Razer is durability and longevity, so fingers crossed because I really love this keyboard.

Good keyboard, rgb pretty bright, durable and very long lasting. It’s a good keyboard, but there are better options. Buttons are too delicate, some may not find this an issue but I do. I’ll go to hit the R for a reload and accidentally hit E. It’s more user than anything due to it being linear, I just don’t like it for that reason. Buttons aren’t too quiet, if you’re looking for a really silent keyboard, I’d look somewhere else. Overall for price point I’d go for a K70 rather than this but if you don’t know what you’re getting into and just want a keyboard it’s not bad.

This is my 2nd mechanical keyboard. My first was loud clunky. This was an amazing switch. Worth every penny. With the synapse program I can control the brightness, which is great. I dont like it being super bright, so its just bright enough to read the letters well. That is actually my only complaint, that the letters and numbers are lit, but not the characters. It makes it difficult to see if I need to use a character I dont use often (The plus sign, for example). This keyboard comes with o-rings, which I am using as well. It does help dampen the sound a lot, but there is still a bit of a clicky sound. Which can suck when youre gaming with an open mic, but I havent received many complaints, as my gamer friends seem to like the sound.

Positive: I love this keyboard. Right out of the package it has been super nice. I have used membrane keyboards all my life and finally decided to switch since i wasnt getting the reaction time i wanted in osu. feels great and is actually a little quieter than my membrane keyboard. Negative: I already have the razer headset so synapse was already downloaded. For some reason synapse wasnt recognizing the keyboard. I had to completely uninstall synapse for my pc to recognize it. I dont really mind it but some of the keys have their characters painted on rather than etched, so no light shines through. UPDATE 5/3/22: Cleaned the keyboard a few times to try to fix the repeated numbers and letters and it did nothing. The keyboard still repeats and sticks.

Really superb all around keyboard. Price is great (I got it at $60), design is clean and not too in your face, which is welcome from Razer, build quality is solid, and quite pleased with the switches. The lettering looks really clean on the keyboard, and the backlighting is just right, not too bright or soft. Keyboard material, albeit seeming to be mostly plastic, still has a nice texture and premium feel to it. These Razer orange switches (brown equivalent) are wonderful and have made a noticeable difference for me when typing, both as a gamer and as a programmer. They are certainly an outright upgrade from the Outemu reds I had been using at my desk at home previously (I liked the smooth action but found I made a lot of mistakes with the low actuation force of the red switches), and Ill give them a slight edge in terms of personal preference for the softer switch action of the brown switch as opposed to the Cherry MX Blue switches I have in my keyboard at the office (currently not seeing much use, obviously). I am not ultra-sensitive to switch quality, I just prefer a keyboard with clean action and quality build, and after finally having given this style of switch a try I dont think I can go back. My only two *very minor* gripes are these: 1. Aesthetic from the side of the keyboard is a bit strange. The keycaps are very short in height and so the components underneath each key are visible, including the switch+switch housing. Seems like thats the aesthetic theyre going for, just not my personal taste, and its unnoticeable from above, which is where Im mostly seeing the keyboard from anyway. 2. Keyboard deck warped ever so slightly at one point so that it wasnt sitting flush with the desk. Not sure if this will resurface in the future, but I was able to unwarp it using raw man power (aka a very light bend back in the correct direction) and it has been sitting fine for over a week since I noticed the issue. These are not deal breakers in the slightest, just for others to be aware of when purchasing. Still love the keyboard, and certainly not worth subtracting a star.

it is a great keyboard, sounds spectacular but after a month occasionally when I press a key it will type out as two which can sometimes get annoying but doesnt bother me while gaming
