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

My typing is faster and error-free after upgrading to this keyboard from membrane keyboards. And I would say the feel is great and the keys are not too noisy, either. The biggest improvement is the reduction in mouse shoulder. My shoulders used to get very tense and sore due to mousing. This was in large part due to the width of a conventional keyboard forcing the mouse too be placed too far to the right. My mouse shoulder was so sore that I was forced to switch move the mouse to the left side, but that only created the same problems on my left. Sacrificing the number keypad was no problem, and the narrow dimensions means I can now use the mouse in an ergonomic position. Voila! My mouse shoulder symptoms have decreased 90+%, so much so that I havent had to switch the mouse to the left.

Its a great keyboard! I upgraded from a Logitech G610, as it was taking up too much space on my desk. The Razer Orange switches feel very similar to Cherry MX Browns, but they do take a little more actuation force and are a little bit louder. The sound is also... warmer? More thwump with each keypress. I got this keyboard for gaming, student-ing, and work-from-home; meaning I use it a lot more than Id like to admit. I practically live in front of this keyboard, and several months in, I still love it. I wasnt a fan of the flimsy ABS keycaps it came with, so I swapped them out for a set of Razers Quartz Pink PBT doubleshot keycaps. It was the best $30 upgrade I could have spent. I used the PBT caps with the O-Rings that came included with this keyboard, and it was a match made in heaven. Theres nothing more for me to dislike about it. If you like USB-C, this keyboard is a little older, and does NOT have USB-C connections. This bothers me to some extent as my phone, headphones, etc. all now use USB-C, but its sort of a silver lining that my Xbox controller still uses Micro-USB, and I can just swap the cable over when I want to play racing or flying games.

Pros: - Sweet software and product support - Key Clicks are just right - Braided and detachable USB cable - Lots of configuration - Soft Magnetic Wrist rest Cons: - Key clicks can be loud during gamplay - High MSRP if not picked up on sale - No dedicated media keys (volume, next, pause, etc.) PIcked up this keyboard while building a new PC. At its current promotion of almost half off, decided to take a risk. All things considered, this keyboard delivers an excellent quality in a small package. While some might find the key clicks too loud during gameplay, it does feel very satisfying. Razer software support is also nice as theres a million different ways to customize the setting. For a gamer thats looking to get a upgrade from their membrane keyboard, this is a solid pick. For someone whos mixed between office work and gaming, this is a great middle of the road choice. Overall, I would recommend this keyboard if used in a private setting, or if looking forward a great mix of TKL, office, and gaming usage.

----------------------------------- English ----------------------------------------- I bought the keyboard based on a lot of reviews and it is perfect to work with, being tenkeyless it is easier to grip the mouse closely, the orange + orings switches reduce noise a lot but nevertheless being a mechanical keyboard it will always do more noise than a conventional keyboard, if typed correctly, the noise can be moderated. Recommended to work, to play it also works very well but perhaps for something more precise other types of switches are better (such as Linear optical switches or cherry MX Silent red) ------------------------------------ Español ------------------------------------------ Compré el teclado en base a un monton de revisiones y es perfecto para trabajar, al ser tenkeyless es mas fácil agarrar el mouse teniendolo cerca, los switches naranjas + orings reducen mucho el ruido pero sin embargo por ser un teclado mecanico el siempre hara mas ruido que un teclado convencional, si se escribe de forma correcta el ruido se puede moderar. recomendado para trabajar, para jugar tambien funciona muy bien pero quizas para algo mas preciso es mejor otro tipo de switches (como los Linear optical switches o cherry MX Silent red)

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.

Not the fault of the keyboard. I think I have just not been typing on mechanical keys in too many years. In any case, I found it too difficult to type on or do much of anything else. But, no problem. My daughter has the membrane Razr Chrono and more than cheerfully traded with me. She tends to pound the keys and loves the mechanical keys. So, problem solved. It was a very good trade. My thoughts about the mechanical keys (which I previously adored). I love the click and tactile feedback. It was quite difficult for me to hit the keys with enough force to properly execute any function. However, I have been working off laptops with membrane keys for probably over a decade at this point, so my hands are trained to that orientation now. You love mechanical keys? This is the keyboard for you. It is quite lovely. Just not for the old lady me.

La sensación de tecleo es muy buena y no requiere de mucha fuera para presionar una tecla. La iluminación que trae es sólo luz blanca y es perfecta para aquellos que quieran ver los caracteres en zonas poca iluminadas y no perturba tanto la vista como las luces RGB. La base es metálica, por lo que a veces al presionar una tecla puedes llegar a escuchar la reverberación del metal, pero no es nada grave. Por algún lado leí que la tecla de espacio no es del tamaño que son otras teclas que venden por aparte, así que si quieres cambiar las teclas, podrías cambiar todas menos esa si compras kye caps genéricas. Trae unos cauchos para que el sonido de las teclas sea menor, pero al ponerlo requiere de un poquito más de fuerza para presionar las teclas, a mí no me gustó usarlos, parece como presionando un teclado de membrana y no me agradó. Recomiendo mucho este teclado, en especial para trabajos donde se requiera escribir mucho, como programar. Ah sí, no tiene la Ñ, así que si escribes en español tendrás que saber dónde está la Ñ y la tilde.

Im pleased with how the keyboard works. Even with those silent caps, the clicking its still a little too loud, because Im coming from a laptop-oriented keyboard.

Not a gamer here, but I do like the feel of this keyboard. Having the ten keyless design is also beneficial since I havent frequently needed those keys anyway. They had simply taken more desk space and made the mouse further over to the side than necessary. My only gripe is that the keys are quite loud and are easily picked up by microphones during Zoom calls or video recording sessions where a lot of typing is involved. I suppose this is to be expected from most/all mechanical keyboards so dont let the silent key type throw you here, keypresses are far from silent!
