Frequently asked questions
Is the Razer BlackWidow V4 wireless?
No, the connection stays wired. The cable plugs in over USB-C on the device side. That is one more cable to route behind the desktop, in exchange for permanent power and no battery to keep an eye on. RGB backlighting is part of the package.
Is the Razer BlackWidow V4 suitable for long daily use?
That depends on your habits. The model is not presented as ergonomic and it offers adjustment, which counts over full days at the desk. Its 4.5/5 score across 2,100 Amazon reviews gives a sense of how it feels in daily use. The wired connection, on the other hand, pins it to one spot on the desk.
What warranty comes with the Razer BlackWidow V4?
Razer quotes 2 years of warranty on this model. That is the standard duration for this kind of product. Set against the 170 euro price, that duration sets how long the manufacturer stays committed, a criterion that often separates two keyboards that look alike on paper.
Is the Razer BlackWidow V4 worth 170 euros?
At 170 euros it scores 4.5/5 across 2,100 Amazon reviews. That is one of the best scores in the category. We gave it our Best gaming keyboard label in the selection. Main strength: zero-latency wired connection. Main compromise: cable clutters the desk.
