Customers say
Customers praise the keyboard’s high quality, smooth feel, and amazing RGB features. The build quality receives mixed feedback, with some finding it very solid while others describe it as cheaply built. The noise level and performance also get mixed reviews – while some find it silent and working great, others report high-pitched ringing and functionality issues. The keyboard type aspect is particularly concerning, with multiple customers reporting random double-typing issues.

Very good quality.
The quality of this keyboard is very high. It’s heavy and very solid. The glow of the backlighting through the key caps is very nice and consistent. Mine had yellow switches and they felt very good. I recommend this keyboard if you run MS Windows or are a gamer. Read about the features and software requirements to see if they meet your own needs. I returned the keyboard because I run Ubuntu 22.04. The keyboard worked out of the box, but the synapse configuration software is for MS Windows, so I could not change the backlighting from the factory setting. You can change the brightness, but you cannot change the colors or lighting pattern, which is constantly changing rainbow of colors. I would buy another Razer keyboard if the RGB lighting could be configured right from the keyboard.

Good quality keyboard for gaming
Razer Blackwidow V3 keyboards are great. My son has two, one for college and one for home. Got the same for two of my grandkids. All use them daily for gaming, some for over a year, with no problems. Good quality with continued use.

CREAMY CLICKY WONDERLAND
There is a perfect amount of give in each key that I never make typos when sliding my fingers across the keys. VERY IMPORTANT FOR GAMING SO YOU DONT FAT-FINGER YOUR TACTICAL AFTER A SLIDE-JUMP. This keyboard is perfect size. No need for number pad, and allows me to utilize my LARGE mouse pad without obstruction. I play on 400dpi so I use a ton of table space for swiping. This keyboard also looks and FEELS great. it’s HEAVY. feels like it was made out of very HIGH QUALITY material. Unlike my Roccat AIMO I had before. The Roccat aimo is such a piece of junk compared to this. Yeah the Roccat looks a little cooler but its keys get stuck, its software is lazy, and its LINEAR lol. I would fat finger random shit all day and look like a bot on that keyboard. Now I feel like a professional. I feel like I’m a man in black about to take down an alien race when this keyboard is in my reach

Update The Firmware To Fix Double Key Registering!
I just wanted to post this here to try and help others who are having an issue with some of the keys double-registering. Yes, it’s true, we shouldn’t have this issue on a brand new keyboard, and why it was released like this, is beyond me. However, not everyone has this issue, but a lot do, and I’d like to help you fix it. And thankfully, it’s really an easy fix.Go to Razer’s website, click support, then keyboards. Next, click on Razer BlackWidow V3 Tenkeyless. This will bring up the support page for this particular keyboard. Next, click on the green text at top where it says “View software, drivers and updates for download >”. After clicking that, you will see the Razer BlackWidow V3 Tenkeyless Firmware Updater Guide page. Clicking on download will open up the PDF firmware updating instructions. Inside of this PDF, there is the actual link to download the firmware, which, as of this posting, shows a Release Date: 17 Sep 2020. This could change at any time, should a newer update become available.Updating the firmware doesn’t take long at all. And yes, it does fix the double-registering issue. I had the same issue with mine, after updating the firmware, everything has been working perfectly!As for the keyboard itself, I really like it. It’s nice and compact. Looks and feels great to type on. Gaming with it has been great, too. More room for my mouse to fly around (when playing FPS games) with this smaller keyboard. RGB lighting looks very nice. Keyboard feels well made and sturdy. And it does have a metal top. It’s exactly what I was looking for. I was planning on buying a set of Doubleshot PBT Keycaps, but honestly, I find the stock keycaps to be just fine. The lighting shines through the stock keycaps nice and bright, and I appreciate that.Possible cons for some. The Razer Green switches are pretty loud when bottoming out. The top plate of this keyboard is metal, which adds to the noise. So, if you type like a woodpecker pecking on a tree, you’re going to be making a lot of noise! I wouldn’t recommend using it in the library, or where others are trying to sleep, unless, of course, you want a shoe thrown upside your head! As far as I know, and I’ve looked everywhere, Razer is selling this particular keyboard only with Green switches, as of now. Maybe Razer will soon release one with the quieter Yellow switches, if you prefer those.Another possible con for some, there is no onboard memory. Profiles and customizations are created and saved using Razer’s Synapse software.I hope this post was helpful to you. Enjoy your new keyboard!And to the Razer support team, y’all should be more active here on Amazon in helping your customers. Offering a solution to a problem publicly, would allow more people to see a possible solution to their problem(s). A look through these keyboard reviews, and the questions section, I don’t see a single response from Razer. I mean no disrespect at all, but from what I can see here, Razer COULD do a better job interacting with it’s customers.

Very Useful Keyboard
This keyboard offers top of the line preformance for a little amount of money compared to other keyboards. It has hot-swappable switches, and sounds great when typing and playing games. It has a sleek metal design, and the RGB is easy customizable through the Razer application that it comes with.

Great value
I have never bought a bad product from Razer. The same with this keyboard. You can easily setup the visual effects you want. I personally like a solid color, so I can work also with dimmed light in the late hours.

Consistent and positive feel
Keyboard feel is a subjective thing. Some like clicks, some like soft touch, or shorter travel. So you’ll have to see if it suits your tastes. For me, this kb has a bit longer travel than my old one so has taken some getting used to. All in all, it’s a fine kb. The only knock I would have on this is that the kb labels are hard to see without backlighting turned on. So you’ll need to install the s/w to set this up, but you don’t need to use the fancy features if you don’t want to.

Double entry was terrible but seems to be resolved…
I’m using this keyboard to type this review. I’ve exchanged my purchased item twice because of terrible double entry – I know mecha keyboards are structurally prone to double entry caused by dusts and maybe that’s why Razer has developed their own optical key switches that are mostly free of the same issue, and I was about to return this until I received an firmware update notice from Razer. The double entry issue is almost gone with firmware updated to v1.02. There are still cons such as the poorly controlled qualities of key caps and LEDs that users would notice especially when he or she sets the lighting to static white color (some keys would light in pink due to black paint stains partially remaining on letters or LED control malfunction), but having said that, I love this keyboard for great touch feelings of Razer green switches (you know it if you have ever had it) and minimal design that perfectly matches to both needs in gaming and daily uses. I’m happy with it now and strongly recommend users that are in despair of double entry to try firmware update before returning it.

I was worried about the keyboard as some of the reviews aren’t too pleased with it, and plus, I looked up some online video reviews on this keyboard, too, and some were happy and some were not. But then, I decided to buy it as it fits all my boxes for a keyboard: tenkeyless; RGB lighting; clicky; quick response; and by one of my favourite gaming brands, aka Razor. When the package came in yesterday, I was so excited. I opened it right up and set it up to my computer, and let me tell you, this keyboard is one of the clickiest keyboards I have ever heard. It has such a satisfying sound. Just be warned though, if you have a very sensitive mic, some people might hear it, and it’s not a very good keyboard if you want to take it to a public area, like an office. But other than that, it’s the perfect gaming keyboard! It has amazing lights, satisfying clicks, and so far, I have had no issues with the set up or using it! 10/10 would recommend!!
