Razer's impressive new BlackWidow V4 Low-profile mechanical gaming keyboards have arrived

Razer has unveiled a pair of new BlackWidow keyboards, and if you're a fan of low-profile boards, you'll want to take note. The Razer BlackWidow V4 Low-profile HyperSpeed and Razer BlackWidow V4 Low-profile TKL HyperSpeed are the company's most advanced low-profile keyboards to date, with a slim, high-quality build and custom Razer Low-profile Mechanical Switches.

Like Logitech's popular G915 series of low-profile keyboards, the Razer BlackWidow V4 Low-profile series has been designed for gaming performance, comfort, and customization. Like the company's popular and award-winning Razer BlackWidow V4 keyboards, you've also got the option to choose between three different low-profile mechanical switches - green (clicky), yellow (linear), and orange (tactile).

Razer notes that one of the reasons low-profile keyboards have become popular among gamers is the fact that the reduced height (you're looking at an ultra-low 18.5mm front height here) leads to a more natural wrist position that doesn't require a wrist rest. This also means a shorter travel distance for the mechanical switches, albeit with the same responsiveness that you get with a Razer BlackWidow V4 keyboard.

Perhaps what's most impressive with the new Razer BlackWidow V4 Low-profile lineup is the construction. In addition to a premium aluminum top cover, you've also got two layers of sound-dampening foam, pre-lubricated stabilizers, a stainless steel plate, and high-quality keycaps with shine-through support for vibrant Razer Chroma RGB.

And yes, with the HyperSpeed branding, both options offer low-latency 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity, with a special Power Saving Mode offering up to 980 hours of battery life on a single charge. And finally, to showcase the gaming performance of the new Razer BlackWidow V4 Low-profile HyperSpeed keyboards, they also feature Razer Snap Tap support, even though the switches aren't magnetic or Hall Effect. This allows you to prioritize between two keys for more tactical movement in a competitive shooter.
