Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro review

The BlackWidow V4 Pro is the board for gamers and streamers who want physical controls for everything. Razer gives it 8 dedicated macro keys and buttons, a multi-function roller with 4 media keys, and the Razer Command Dial, an aluminum dial with 30 steps per revolution and 8 default modes such as zoom, app switching and track jogging. Razer Synapse lets you store up to 100 custom dial modes. Switches come in Green (clicky), Orange (quiet tactile) and Yellow (linear), and Snap Tap in Synapse 4 prioritizes the latest of two keys for quick direction changes. A magnetic leatherette wrist rest with Chroma RGB underglow is included. The downsides for a first keyboard: Razer confirms it has no wireless, the keycaps are doubleshot ABS rather than PBT, and at $229.99 it ties the Q1 Max as the most expensive board here.
