The amount of effort that goes into your videos does not go unnoticed. The writing, planning, editing, sound design, presentation, humor, and genuine personality it's all top tier. And clearly it's not a requirement to do any of that. You could literally just film your hands and do everything in one take freestyle. But the fact that you go above and beyond deserves major kudos.
Absolutely absurd value package from Razer. Gasket mount FR4 with pcb mount stabs just tells me that they actually listened and didnt cut costs for things that matter. I found myself increasingly more surprised as the video went on. This is my absolutely recommendation for anyone. Also this video was really fun. Got a lot of personality in here and it was a blast. Keep it up
It's cool but ... to change to mount stabs, you lose the warranty ... and that's stupid. Plus, with good plate mounted stabs & tape mod... you won't notice the difference...
I remember a few years ago when I was hyped to go from a crusty old first gen blackwidow to a Drop Ctrl. It's weird to think my mechanical keyboard journey might come full circle when they release this thing
In the United States the FTC has made it clear that opening your device for tinkering or repair is explicitly allowed as long as you don't damage any components and will not void your warranty. Please don't spread misinformation about right to repair. I encourage everyone to know their rights about repairing their own technology and stop giving into the fear from these large tech companies.
Could you do an update to this video it appears their is an issue with these keyboards of double typing. So far razor does not have a fix for it. Wanted to get your insight on it?
Now that's a keyboard I'd like to give a whirl. It looks good and it's sounding good out of the box. Only changes I might make are moving a couple keycaps over if I choose to get it. I'll be honest, one thing I miss about having a keyboard with lights is being able to turn off my lamp, playing in the dark hits different.
Man, I feel that! I had to put the stock shine-through caps on my Wooting for a recent video and its reallly nice when you're gaming in low light/dark room.
Hey just fyi: opening a product you purchased in America does NOT void your warranty. In fact, those "void if opened" stickers are actually illegal here, not that it's well enforced. As long as you don't damage the product yourself in the process of disassembling it, the warranty still stands.
that is impressive. never thought id be tempted for a razer keyboard, especially in this day and age but im all for it. everyone needs nice sounding keyboards!
In my experience, Razor always live up to their name. They get dull pretty quickly (short lifespan), but they always bring "cutting edge" features to the gaming world. They're basically fast fashion: put an experation date on your product so your fanbase is encouraged to try the cool new thing.
I'm out of the keyboard market for a while now that I have the Wooting, but this seems like a huge step-up vs. what the big brands have been selling. Charging >$100 (often closer to $200) for an acoustically disgusting keyboard with soldered switches is totally ridiculous, yet that's the space that Logitech, Corsair, Razer and SteelSeries have been operating in for years. Because... RGB? Bloated companion software? They've often tried to differentiate themselves with proprietary switches (Romer-G, optical, omni-point, low profile), but for the most part they've not been any better than the traditional Cherry-style switches, and even when they achieve better measurables, they sound like ass and are hamstrung by bad software. It's no secret what keyboard components cost, and the economies of scale at the big brands must mean they've been paying even less. The prices they've been charging are textbook "gamer premium". This is the first big brand product I can remember seeing, where they're flexing some of their manufacturing power towards features that actually matter to the typing and gaming experience.
man ever since I stopped buying Razer products to move more towards custom keyboards, THIS is bringing me back. I promised I wouldn't buy any more keyboards after my 7th, but DAMN this is kinda nice what.
Did Wooting announce somewhere that they'll offer different cases? Honestly if they would just sell the bare PCB I would have gotten one a long time ago. Don't need their cheap plastic case or the keycaps.
The exact comment I was going to make. I know their recent line of mice have also been really good, even if I never buy this keyboard I'm very happy to see companies pay attention to their market demographic for once.
Razer been on the up bro. Their mice are second to none, their 2023 blackshark v2 pro is great, if you don’t want a stand-alone mic, and now this keyboard looks like a game changer.
@@bruddah_I have the razer huntsman, v2 viper pro and blackshark pro 2023. The pro 2023 has an error with the latest firmware in that when you enable side tone it makes the balance play sound out of the left ear speaker only. Now I'm on the pc38x and prefer them tbh. Clamp force on the razer pro was also too harsh for me
@@bruddah_mice second too none? I mean xtrify, glorious and logitech imo are generally better mouse brands imo. The viper is probably the only competitive mouse they make.
As an Avid Razer Fanboy for something like 4 years now, this Release could not have made me any happier. In hard contrast to many People I spoke to, not any of my Razer Gear - which is all my Gear by now (xD) - did ever leave me stranded. So I am glad that after the recent shortcomings on some parts this just blew everything out of the Water. And also - great Video Presentation style. Lots of personality, great, fun way to present things and superb delivery. (As a Vocal Director, that kind of is something I look out for lol.) Great stuff, take my like :D
Still using my razer blackwidow v2 tkl with first gen orange switches, so glad to see they are bringing them back, hopefully we'll see them on tkl and full size boards soon.
That's awesome. Just wish we still had more standard layouts and key cap sizes. If this thing came in a TKL, I'd buy it instantly. Is the full size the same except for more keys?
Why is it that you say at 03:36 that you don't need to open the board and void the warranty to change out the stabs but at 07:23 you say that the only reason to open the board and void the warranty is if you want to change out the stabs?
not bad not bad. doin it better than corsair. but since i already have a wooting 60he, my next keyboard anything would probably be an actual custom. i want that zoom 75
the real question is- does it compete with wootings .1mm actuation rapid trigger? for a “gaming” keyboard, it needs to match the wooting in terms of raw performance.
I have a Razer BlackWidow V3 mini and I don't recommend it, several keys double click and now I turn it off and the battery indicator led keeps turning on even though it's set to off. While typing this I had a problem with double clicking.
Actually crazy good keyboard! I can see this being an awesome beginner board for someone who doesn't trust GBs or doesn't wanna build anything completely from scratch yet.
Hi, awesome vid. Now i want to get this this kb. im writing this from a blackwidow v1 2019. A very simple but practical kb, but its not very customizable and it has the green switches that are super noisy. But Is it possible that on the future we can get switches like the ones that the wooting 65hs has for this keyboard or other hot-swap in general?
Have you looked in to the new Steelseries Apex Pro TKL? It’s also using HE switches and they just released a firmware update that brings it in line with Wooting in terms of actuation point and travel as well as rapid fire. I personally use a full size Wooting Two HE so I haven’t grabbed it yet, I really wish Wooting had a TKL…
I’m going to take a moment, sip my coffee, and appreciate how freaking well these videos are produced. So entertaining, so slick. Do you write the amazing zingers or do you record them off the cuff and just say F-it and include them? Honestly, you could review packing material and I would be still be glued to your videos every time.
Great turn of events for razer. Synapse is still a bit much to deal with though. One thing I don't see a lot of people mention about the Wooting is the significantly improved processor and memory capabilities. Most brands require having some software running on your computer for the RGB effects, but Wooting has it all save on the board itself (fully customizable, per key!).
Brian, great video, as always. Your production quality is the best of any channel that I watch. I've been using an Azoth for about a month now and have been pretty happy with it. I did swap out the keycaps, but that's it. I even bought some Durock T2 switches and V2 screw in stabs for it when I bought the keyboard, but have stuck with the Asus NX browns and the stabs that came with it.
I work at Micro Center and we just got these boards in today. One of our Razor training videos a while back hinted that they were considering gettinf itno hot swap, so we were patiently waiting to see what would happen. We took the opportunity to feel one of them as we were spider wrapping them and the orange switches felt... fine, to my picky ass, which means that I think a lot of people will actually like them. They definitely feel way better than browns and I wish they would send us boxes of their proprietary switches. However, the spacebar feels EXCELLENT, even by enthusiasts standards. I stillthink the ROG Strix is the better overall buy, but this is a damn good keyboard from Razer and I'm happy to see gaming and custom keyboards slowly blending together.
I don't understand why people continue to say opening your devices voids yours warranty. Opening your product does not, can not, and will not void your warranty unless you cause purposeful, provable damage by doing so.. From this boards design it's definitely designed to be opened and customized.
oh man this was my dream layout, compressed 75%, volume scroll wheel (hell yeah not those knobs) and under 200$! sadly, I'm already into custom kb's and am awaiting my zoom75. still can't deny the value presented by razer here.
this is so damn cool to see. i used to use a razer keyboard before the custom keyboard world. its great to see that they are making steps into the right direction
Would be nice to get the features and that format into the huntsman line with the opto switches. I like the Linear Red Opto. Any advantage to go with this instead of Opto? I'm pretty sure I would like the orange, I've enjoyed brown cherry mx in the past. Just feel like a step back in technology to go back to mechanical switch. I might be exagerating...
AS some one who works from home and has red opto I am considering this. The reds are just a little too sensitive for non gaming use for me

If that PBT/texutre is of similar quality to their previous PBT upgrade set, the characters won't wear off but the texture will. At least the price is very expected of them - the usual price for decent 75/knob version + razer tax. It's better then what they usually do that's for sure.
I feel like 75% layout was made for programmers. And yet, most of them fail to deliver: it should have DEL above BACKSPACE, PRINT SCREENSHOT in the top-right corner, then below it HOME, END and PG UP/DOWN in that order, or HOME, PG UP/DOWN and END. Instead, many of them include useless INSERT key and lacks another button in favor of weird layout or knob. Also, what's up with the smashed up layout? I wish there were more like "Akko 5075S Shine-Through" - black, shine-through, 75% "exploded" with the right key layout, but print screen key option instead of knob. Key remapping on keyboard's firmware level could be useful too.
I have a Razer Cynosa V2. I use it every day for productitivy. I like the low profile and yea I am one of those strange people that like membrane keyboards. Thing is my keycaps look really bad. I was wondering if it is a problem with the more expensive models? Also where I live I can't find replacement keycaps. Anyhow aswsome video thanks for the information.
You nailed it about the primary complaint, the default switch choice. I'm not a fan of tactile switches for gaming at all. If I was wanting to buy this I would hold off until Razer offers it with linear switches.
Razer* and no it's not on par with Wooting, but it's better performing than every other keyboard outside the Wooting so it's worth it. Owner of the huntsman mini analog and love it, definitely my main and go to recommendation. Difference is beyond minor so you'll enjoy the rapid trigger feature of Razer.
Ah so it's only for their analog keyboards? I would like to have rapid trigger on this new keyboard as it has everything else that I'm looking for. @@BravenTyler
🤯 - That level of board at that price! My only confort now having spent so much more on the Glorious GMMK PRO (original campaign) is how long I’ve been enjoying it before a big mainstream company made something that IMO, legitimately is better in every way, except maybe the lack of a full aluminum body. But that doesn’t bother me.
Board sounds great. It's just disappointing they decided to use regular mechanical switches, a non-standard fn layout, and went 8K polling over wireless. It's impossible for me to go back to using regular keyboards after seeing just how more responsive hall effect switches are with rapid trigger. 8K polling uses a ton of CPU resources and still won't make the keyboard feel as responsive as the wooting. They would have been better or going Hall effect 1K polling wireless.
Id recommend dremelling the stand offs on the bottom of the plastic case to give it the tinniest more gasket flex when typing. Its still a hard bottom out, but its an easy mod to do with even some sharp pliers
You actually don't even need to void the warranty to swap out stabs, TX sells plate mount stabs, which imo solve the ticking issue all the same due to their TPU inserts.
Im really nitpicking here, but what i like about my 75% is that there's no extra space between the F keys and the numbers for when i play games that require alot of keybinds
I never thought I'd see the day that Razer would actually release a keyboard that interested me. I already have a V2 Pro with aftermarket skates and grip tape might as well get the whole razer kit
I bought this keyboard mainly after watching your review. I am finding the spacebar to be super loud - significantly louder than the keys ( I suppose just like yours in the video). This is my first keyboard of this type - I am currently using a Corsair k70 low profile red switch. I just ordered the TX stabilizers in hopes they will quiet it down.
3:40 No, in the EU and US, opening a product won't void your warranty, according to the law. But many manufacturers just blatantly ignore the law of course, because they see themselves above it.
Wow, did NOT see this coming from Razer, GREAT coverage as always Brian!

And yet, most of them fail to deliver: it should have DEL above BACKSPACE, PRINT SCREENSHOT in the top-right corner, then below it HOME, END and PG UP/DOWN in that order, or HOME, PG UP/DOWN and END. Instead, many of them include useless INSERT key and lacks another button in favor of weird layout or knob. Also, what's up with the smashed up layout?
I wish there were more like "Akko 5075S Shine-Through" - black, shine-through, 75% "exploded" with the right key layout, but print screen key option instead of knob. Key remapping on keyboard's firmware level could be useful too.
I have a Razer Cynosa V2. I use it every day for productitivy. I like the low profile and yea I am one of those strange people that like membrane keyboards. Thing is my keycaps look really bad. I was wondering if it is a problem with the more expensive models? Also where I live I can't find replacement keycaps. Anyhow aswsome video thanks for the information.
You nailed it about the primary complaint, the default switch choice. I'm not a fan of tactile switches for gaming at all. If I was wanting to buy this I would hold off until Razer offers it with linear switches.
the stock sounds really good to me. only thing i wish is that the keycaps sat lower down into the frame
Has Razor caught up with Wooting regarding the rapid trigger and partial actuation features?
Razer* and no it's not on par with Wooting, but it's better performing than every other keyboard outside the Wooting so it's worth it. Owner of the huntsman mini analog and love it, definitely my main and go to recommendation. Difference is beyond minor so you'll enjoy the rapid trigger feature of Razer.
Ah so it's only for their analog keyboards? I would like to have rapid trigger on this new keyboard as it has everything else that I'm looking for. @@BravenTyler
🤯 - That level of board at that price!
My only confort now having spent so much more on the Glorious GMMK PRO (original campaign) is how long I’ve been enjoying it before a big mainstream company made something that IMO, legitimately is better in every way, except maybe the lack of a full aluminum body. But that doesn’t bother me.
Board sounds great. It's just disappointing they decided to use regular mechanical switches, a non-standard fn layout, and went 8K polling over wireless. It's impossible for me to go back to using regular keyboards after seeing just how more responsive hall effect switches are with rapid trigger. 8K polling uses a ton of CPU resources and still won't make the keyboard feel as responsive as the wooting. They would have been better or going Hall effect 1K polling wireless.
You Post. I watch. I do not need a keyboard, yet I watch. You are killing it.
Keep it up man.
Id recommend dremelling the stand offs on the bottom of the plastic case to give it the tinniest more gasket flex when typing. Its still a hard bottom out, but its an easy mod to do with even some sharp pliers
Just replace WASD with linears and you get gaming perfection.
But does it have rapid trigger
This one as a wireless version and i'm ditching my custom... thhe sound test was almost too good.
You actually don't even need to void the warranty to swap out stabs, TX sells plate mount stabs, which imo solve the ticking issue all the same due to their TPU inserts.
Im really nitpicking here, but what i like about my 75% is that there's no extra space between the F keys and the numbers for when i play games that require alot of keybinds
I never thought I'd see the day that Razer would actually release a keyboard that interested me. I already have a V2 Pro with aftermarket skates and grip tape might as well get the whole razer kit
I bought this keyboard mainly after watching your review. I am finding the spacebar to be super loud - significantly louder than the keys ( I suppose just like yours in the video). This is my first keyboard of this type - I am currently using a Corsair k70 low profile red switch. I just ordered the TX stabilizers in hopes they will quiet it down.
definitely a step up, doesn't sound that good IMO, but Razer STILL using OEM profile keycaps kills me every time.
3:40 No, in the EU and US, opening a product won't void your warranty, according to the law.
But many manufacturers just blatantly ignore the law of course, because they see themselves above it.
I just want the pro with orange switches... but they keep throwing the oranges on anything but their newer full size keyboards...
