Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini Hyperspeed review: The best small gaming keyboard ever?
If you’re choosing a new keyboard as a gamer, it can be very tempting to go for the smallest keyboard out there. Perhaps something like Corsair’s K65 RGB Mini or Razer’s Huntsman Mini, both of which sport 60% layouts. But today Razer is introducing the BlackWidow V3 Mini Hyperspeed, and having had just over a week with a sample, I can say with certainty that this might be my favorite small gaming keyboard to date. Small keyboards are all the rage these days. For most PC gamers, they provide a much more effective and comfortable experience. But I have an issue with 60% keyboards like the aforementioned two. They make two key (pardon the pun) sacrifices that I simply cannot handle: The missing arrow keys and dedicated delete key. You might not often need them in the middle of a game, but having to switch keyboards just to get some work done feels like a missed opportunity. That’s where the Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini Hyperspeed does something different. It’s a 65% keyboard, so it has those ...
Razer Blackwidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed Review
Razer’s refined compact keyboard gains a little girth to get way more comfortable, and Bluetooth and wireless support let you take it anywhere. Razer is refining its compact-keyboard game. In 2020, the Huntsman Mini was one of the first 60 percent keyboards from a major maker of gaming peripherals, predating the surge of compact designs launching in 2021. With its second compact design, the Razer Blackwidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed, Razer adds a wireless model to its lineup. Perhaps more crucially, the new Blackwidow V3 Mini adds a few keys—it’s technically a 65% keyboard—and the inclusion of arrows makes a huge amount of difference in everyday use. Those two additions are more than enough of an upgrade for it to qualify as Razer’s flagship compact keyboard. It's a strong choice if you’re looking for a wireless 65% model.Spinning a Smaller Web Versus the full-size Blackwidow, the Blackwidow V3 Mini is pretty teensy. Measuring 1.69 by 12.5 by 5.09 inches (HWD), this simple 68-key device has a substantially smaller desk footprint than its larger, more feature-rich counterpart. Among compact keyboards, it’s on the large side. (I b...- Tight 65% form factor
- Long battery life with RGB lighting off
- Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless support
- Razer Yellow switches updated to reduce noise
- Pricey
- Multi-device wireless support only works with a handful of mice

Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed 65% Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (Green Switch) RZ03-03891400-R3M1 review
The Razer BlackWidow Chroma (Origin PC Edition) is the most tricked-out keyboard in Razer's lineup, with a full numpad, macro keys and extensive lighting and software options. The company's own Green switches are on board, but the stabilizers flanking the larger keys can be problematic.- Full featured, easy to use software suite, Tremendous lighting options, Familiar Razer "look" for fans
- Costar-like stabilizers, Font of keys is quite stylized, Soft finish shows shine too readily, Dead key issue

When Razer announced their plans to make their very own mechanical switches i really wasn't sure of what to expect. Granted I’ve said it in the past numerous times that i don't think the design and manufacture of a mechanical switch is very hard especially since Cherry MX has been doing it for...- Build Quality, Design, Razer Green Mechanical Switches (60m Keystrokes / 50g Actuation Force), Full 16.8m RGB Key Illumination, Individual Key Illumination, Macro Keys, On-The-Fly Macro Recording, Gaming Mode, Synapse 2.0 Software, Dual USB Connector (Extra Power), Braided Cable/ Gold Plated USB...

The first time I took a look at the 2014 Blackwidow Ultimate I was happy with the board so it’s not really a shock that I would like what they did with the Chroma. Just like the original, the Chroma isn’t perfect.

After seeing the announcement for Razer’s Chroma line of peripherals, I was very interested in getting my hands on some of them to evaluate. Razer’s new lighting system allows for a possible 16.8 million color combinations and is capable of some really pretty animations.
