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

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.

The space bar broke within the first two weeks and we were sent an immediate replacement which was nice. The replacement has been good for the last couple months, but it still feels cheap.

For reference Ive had it since April 9, 2020 with the green switches. The keyboard works great and the RGB aspects of it are fantastic especially thanks to the layer under the keys that helps diffuse the light. Its a TKL which is great for that extra mouse room. I do have issues with it though. The switches arent particularly smooth since I got it, you can feel it scrape a bit, I assume some lube would fix that pretty easily but Id expect a better out of the box quality for its price. They also dont have a good consistency even out of the box. You can press a key then the one right next to it and they sound very different and have a bit of a different feel from each other but its not as noticeable unless you actively test it and compare. The wrist rest is a nice addition, it feels very comfortable to use, I do kind of have an issue with mine where basically in just a month as you can see in the pictures the left part of it started like... bubbling up making it feel slightly rougher. Overall its a good keyboard, its pretty heavy which is great since it doesnt move around while gaming, wish it had a metal top plate for its price and not a fan of the Razer switches compared to having Cherry MX switches like in previous Razer Keyboards but they get the job done and they feel alright. If you get it during a sale and it has a good discount, go for it, totally reccomend it. Not reccomended at its normal value of $140, for that price you can get something better.

Initially I was impressed, its a nice keyboard for the price. It looks well constructed, but the backlight does not change color or match my Razor mouse even with Razor software. After a few months of pretty mild use, certain keys have also started having duplicate or triple outputs. Like if I press / I get /// or aapple instead of apple. Its pretty annoying when it comes to passwords or using command prompt.

It’s a good key board, but when I got mine, the wrist pad that I receive was torn to shreds and the spacebar’s stabilisers were broken. Performs good, but having a wobbly space bar and a wrist pad that looks like it stormed Normandy Beach takes way from that.

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.

The orange switches are quiet, but dont feel as good as loud keys. I guess its just a tradeoff. The keyboard is nice and minimal, RGB looks good, and the wrist pad is nice

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.

Before I bought this I had a regular mechanical keyboard with brown switches and no dampening. I got a few complaints in the office from people right next to me. I still wanted to work with a mechanical keyboard so I tried this after watching an online review. Ive got to say Im pretty content with it so far! No one in the office complains of the sound; its nice and quiet with the o-rings installed, less so than a normal 20$ junk keyboard. Even with the o-rings it still feels like Im typing on a mechanical keyboard, not sticky in the slightest.

My previous favorite keyboard is no longer made. It was Razer Blackwidow Stealth tournament edition. This is basically that keyboard. It is slightly quieter than a standard mechanical keyboard, but it definitely gives those satisfying clicks and feel at your fingers. My only complaint is that the key caps somehow feel slightly cheaper than Ive come to expect from razer. Still a solid TKL if you want a slightly quieter mechanical keyboard. I am a gamer and I love it.
