Global lifestyle gaming hardware provider Razer has announced its new keyboard, the Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro, a full-blown feature-packed battle station keyboard for gamers and PC enthusiasts alike. It comes loaded with a command dial, macro keys, RGB lighting, mechanical switches, and dedicated media controls.

The Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro is Razer's latest iteration in its award-winning BlackWidow line of keyboards, with a host of features to give you full control over all your games, apps, audio, and more. The keyboard is a solid-feeling mechanical keyboard that will survive even the most intense keyboard mashing session while providing long-lasting durability, and solid responsiveness.

In addition, it is packed with features. The Command Dial gives advanced controls and shortcuts for desktop apps and in games. In addition, dedicated macro keys allow for complex actions to be executed with one button press during heated gameplay moments. The keyboard also boasts per-key Razer Chroma RGB lighting and multi-zone RGB underglow lighting. This allows for nearly limitless customisation options and in-game immersion.

The Command Dial is preset with eight default modes, from window zooming to browser tab switching. Furthermore, users can program the dial with up to 100 Custom Modes, allowing them to map both clockwise and counter-clockwise actions of the dial to their preferred action. For day-to-day use, users can program multiple application shortcuts, such as Photoshop brush size adjustment, timeline jogging, and more. Each mode can be toggled with a simple click of the Command Dial and easily identified by the colour-coded backlight of the dial.

There are five macro keys placed to the left of the main keyboard layout for easy access. These can be used to activate complex actions, all programmable either through the companion Razer Synapse software or with on-the-fly macro recording. Additionally, the keyboard boasts three macro keys along its edge, providing eight conveniently positioned macro keys on the keyboard.

The BlackWidow V4 Pro is designed for all-out immersion through Razer Chroma RGB. The keyboard comes with per-key lighting, shining brightly through the transparent switch housing for a brighter, more vivid RGB effect. This is amplified by equally bright 38-zone underglow lighting, which is extended onto the magnetically attached plush leatherette wrist rest, giving even more RGB immersion to the user.

Through Razer Synapse, users can not only synchronize all their Razer Chroma RGB-enabled devices together but also with other third-party Chroma Connect products. For gamers, there are over 200 Chroma-integrated games, where the RGB lighting reacts according to the actions or situations that are happening in-game.

The keyboard features the latest generation of Razer’s mechanical switches with the option of Green Clicky switches for tactile feedback, or Yellow Linear switches for a smooth and silent action. Both variants of the switches have undergone further testing and are now rated for up to 100 million keystrokes.

Other features include USB 2.0 passthrough, detachable Type C connections, a durable 5052 aluminium alloy top case, dual-angle kickstands, up to 8000Hz polling rate, two layers of sound dampening foam internally, and factory-lubricated stabilisers for improved typing acoustics.

“The BlackWidow line has been loved by gamers ever since it was first launched in 2010,” said Razer head of PC gaming Barrie Ooi. “The BlackWidow V4 Pro features an easily customizable Razer Command Dial and dedicated macro keys, providing users with even more control. The keyboard also features 3-side keyboard underglow and per-key lighting that works seamlessly with the Razer Chroma RGB lighting ecosystem to offer a truly immersive gaming experience.”

The Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro is available now for $399.95, or $449.95 in New Zealand.
