Razer BlackWidow V3, Keyboard Gaming Multi-Device Paling Ringkas

JAKARTA - The well-known game accessory manufacturer Razer presents a new compact-sized Gaming keyboard, namely the Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed. Minimalist design, this gaming keyboard carries a 65 percent size format with complete keys.

Even some of the keys or buttons have been combined according to their function to support the needs of daily use. Not to forget Razer's signature RGB effect as a gaming keyboard.

Okay, without further ado, here are the results of our review while using and reviewing the Razer Blackwidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed. It should be noted, as a comparison in our review, we used a keyboard type with the Razer Green Switch and Yellow Switch mechanism versions.

Design

When we received the Razer Blackwidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed, we were immediately blown away by the compact and simple design of this keyboard. This form factor keyboard feels compact and space-saving. The BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed retains the most frequently used keys outside of the alphanumeric array. Thus minimizing the range of motion like a full-sized keyboard.

"Since the release of the Razer Huntsman Mini, we've had requests to build a compact wireless keyboard, which ultimately resulted in the BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed, compact and wireless, but retaining the essential keys for gaming and everyday use," said Alvin Cheung , Vice President of Razer's peripherals division some time ago.

Dynamic design.

The entire body is black in color and made of solid plastic, but with easy-to-press keys. There is also a pair of "additional legs" at the top of the keyboard that allow users to adjust the angle of the keyboard height.

To achieve the demands of a minimalistic and cord-free set-up, the Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed keyboard uses Razer's latest HyperSpeed Multi-Device dongle connector. This feature allows a compatible Razer HyperSpeed keyboard/mouse combination to connect to a PC via just a dongle.

With the support of the HyperSpeed Multi-Device dongle that is already available on a variety of previously released HyperSpeed Wireless products, this new dongle makes the appearance of your desk more tidy and frees up the very important USB ports.

This Razer keyboard also supports Bluetooth connection, which allows this keyboard to smoothly switch up to three paired devices. A USB-Type C cable completes the connectivity options, allowing the keyboard to be used while charging at the same time with each full charge lasting up to 200 hours of use.

Typing Convenience

The Razer Blackwidow V3 offers two switching mechanisms named Razer Green and Razer Yellow. The Razer Blackwidow V3 unit we used and reviewed uses a Razer Green switch with specifications of 50g actuation force, 1.9mm actuation point, and 0.4mm difference between actuation points.

Each button of the Razer Blackwidow V3 is a double shot ABS type. This type of key makes the keycaps on the keyboard provide greater durability and comfort than regular plastic.

It is claimed, the Razer Green switch mechanism is able to last up to 80 million presses. It really feels different when compared to a gaming keyboard priced at 500 thousand.

When we used the Razer Blackwidow V3 for a few weeks for review needs. Each key that we use feels tactile when pressed, thanks to the Razer Green switch the sound of "click" or "clack" every time we press the button is quite loud and provides its own pleasure when typing.

If you don't really like the clicky sound of the keyboard, Razer presents the Yellow Switch variant which is linear and quiet with silencers. So it doesn't make an annoying clicking or clack sound.

Razer Synapse Features

Discussing the features on the Razer keyboard, of course, cannot be separated from the Razer Synapse application. This application will be installed automatically when connecting the Razer dongle device to a PC or laptop.

Through the Synapse application, you can customize the keyboard as you wish, from mapping each key, creating macro entries, controlling RGB lighting, setting up Razer Hypershift, to synchronizing settings via the cloud system.

In the Lighting section, you can adjust the appearance and effect of the RGB lights on the keyboard. Based on Razer's notes, the combination of RGB effects offered by this keyboard reaches 16.8 million color spectrums available in Chroma Studio settings in the Razer Blackwidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed Lighting feature.

Conclusion and Price

The price of the Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed is quite expensive, around IDR 2.7 million. But for gamers who want to present a minimalist design but with features and convenience, this keyboard can be the right choice and worth buying.

The Razer Green and Yellow switch mechanisms really provide an interesting experience and comfort. Each button pressed feels clicky with a loud sound that can provide its own pleasure for users.
