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

Ive only had this product for a few months. I have the yellow keys. Ive been noticing keypresses registering more than once. I see this with the s key and e keys for example. I first noticed it while gaming and it would result in mistakes made during the game and Ive also noticed it with typing where I have to go back and make corrections. This did not happen prior to using this keyboard. It is bad enough that the keyboard has become unusable to me and I will be seeking a refund. Im very disappointed. *Update* Razer replaced my keyboard with a newer model so even though there was a defect, the company stood by their product and fixed the situation.

I bought this keyboard to replace another RGB Mechanical keyboard that I spilled liquids on and could no longer use. Pros: Looks great and I Love the small form factor. Keys are not as loud as other mechanical keyboards and can be dampened further with the included bands to put under the keys. Cons: Even though I bought this keyboard for the small form factor, I feel like there are times when I would use a tenkey. This is not a huge con, but if you use a tenkey at least once in a while, you will miss it. I am also still learning to use this keyboard as it is not like the old RGB mechanical. This keyboard is working great for my gaming. I still wish that some of the <Shift> keys for special characters like @, #, $, % etc, were also lit up like the numbers are.

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.

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.

Definitely not silent enough to comfortably use in a quiet office. Love that its small and portable, but wish it was quieter - misleading how loud it is, even after putting in dampeners on every single key

I overpaid for the Orange switches here. The green switches were like $110, while the orange switches were more than $130. Besides the price difference: The keyboard is pretty nice for a razer keyboard. Coming from a Blue switch clone, the key feel is great and I dig the RGB solely so I can use it at night. The wristrest is comfortable and the keycaps are decent and dont have that ugly gamer font. I know alot of people hate that you have to sign up for razers Synapse program to change the lighting, but i honestly dont really care too much about it. One problem i do have with the keyboard, is that the symbols like !, @, #.... and ?, >, <... arent backlit and cant be seen in a dark environment. While im used to it as a programmer, it may tick off others. This is a nice keyboard but you can get a better keyboard from a different brand, or you can get the blackwidow lite for cheaper

Ok so I have had this keyboard before. Maybe like 2 years ago. but sadly I lost it. 3 months ago when I moved. I bought this keyboard again this week. This time around I got it used to save some money. I got the same switches as well(razer yellow).So I know exactly how bad the space bar and every other key with stabilizers sounded. And also overall how much pinging sound every other key in general would make when typing( used o-rings previously when I had it to help with that) . And this one I got this time around(used) has been modded 100%. Forsure from what I can see all stabilizers have been tightened and lubed very well. The spacebar sounds so good! And in general the keyboard sounds pretty thocky. No what else if anything else was done to it. Like adding some sort of padding/foam to the board. Not sure but it sounds and feels so good. So whoever upgraded this board. I thank you (:

----------------------------------- 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)

Love this keyboard. This is the 4th mechanical keyboard I have in 10 years. Used 12 hours a day for programming, writing, and gaming. Bright, even, pleasant neutral-white backlighting is crisp and even, great to not have to deal with blinking and pulsing RGB toys. Keys are pleasant and clicky, with great feedback. Removable USB cable is great for switching between computers, and for transport. Easily removable yet durable keycaps make it easy to clean, too. Lack of a numpad is great for those of us who dont use it, the space saving is surprisingly significant, the keyboard no longer dominates desk space. The only potential con is, the bottom half of the keycaps is not backlit (ie the 4 glows, the $ does not). However, in my experience this isnt an issue. Though as a software dev I touch-type the symbol keys, obviously I cant touch-type the keyboard-specific volume, multimedia, and brightness keys - and yet, the glow of the monitor is enough to make them usable even at night. If you are visually impaired, or otherwise need to be able to clearly see the symbol keys, this may be significant for you, but only if you plan on using this keyboard in total darkness. If youre like me and wont be hampered by this, go for it! You wont regret it.

I decided recently to upgrade both of my keyboards to mechanical ones, and after doing quite a lot of research, I decided that these BlackWidow TKL linear switch keyboards were the best fit for me with price and performance in mind. Overall Im pretty happy: the touch and feel of the keyboard is wonderful (I really prefer the linear switches), the wrist rest is essential and quite comfortable, and the TKL size allows me to position the keyboard near the mouse, which for me is ergonomically much better. (I had been using a Logitech Wave for years, and Im still a bit surprised by how much better this keyboard is for me overall.) Downsides? Firstly, these are the keys with the secondary characters not lit: if you want those lit, you have to spend about $30 more to get the PBT keycap upgrade package. (Or you can buy another Razer TKL product, most likely without a wrist rest.) Secondly, I dont like the light under the keys, I think thats quite unnecessary and distracting, actually making it harder to read those unlit characters. Oh, and my pet peeve is the Delete key being the same size as the others: I happen to use it almost as often as I use backspace, and much prefer keyboards where that key is made larger. Finally, you want to hope you never need Razer customer service. My experience with them has been pretty bad: theyre really slow, they dont do what they say theyll do, and it can take several days and multiple attempts to do something that with Amazon takes about 5 minutes. They dont seem to take it seriously enough.
