RAZER UNVEILS THE BLACKWIDOW V4 LOW-PROFILE LINE – ITS MOST FEATURE-RICH LOW-PROFILE GAMING KEYBOARD YET

Razer™, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today unveiled the Razer BlackWidow V4 Low-profile HyperSpeed and Razer BlackWidow V4 Low-profile Tenkeyless HyperSpeed, its most advanced low-profile gaming keyboards to-date. These new additions to the award-winning BlackWidow line bring cutting-edge performance and refined ergonomics to a slimmer, more streamlined form factor.

Designed for immersive gameplay and precision control, both models feature Razer HyperSpeed Wireless technology, dedicated macro buttons and controls, and for the first time, Razer Low-profile Mechanical Switches. The result is quick and precise actuation, satisfying keystrokes, and a streamlined silhouette that fits seamlessly into any setup.

“The Razer BlackWidow has been a staple in gaming setups for 15 years. As one of the most iconic and recognizable keyboards in the industry, it has consistently set the benchmark for performance and immersion,” said Barrie Ooi, Head of Razer’s PC Gaming Division. “With the BlackWidow V4 Low-profile line, we’re introducing a new form factor that meets the evolving needs of gamers, while staying true to the immersive experience that defines the BlackWidow legacy.”

Comfort Meets Durability

Razer’s popular green (clicky), yellow (linear), and orange (tactile) switches are now available in a low-profile format, delivering the same satisfying keystroke in a sleeker, more ergonomic design. The reduced key height encourages natural wrist alignment, enhancing comfort during long gaming sessions — be it grinding levels, climbing ranks, or exploring open-world adventures — all without a wrist rest. An ultra-low 18.5mm front height and angled chassis further support neutral wrist positioning for long-lasting comfort. 

Each switch is engineered with a unique circular stem wall that ensures unobstructed light transmission, allowing Razer Chroma™ RGB lighting to shine brilliantly through the translucent top housing. Factory-lubricated and rigorously tested, the switches offer exceptional stability with minimal wobble for consistent, reliable performance. Rated for up to 80 million keystrokes, they are built to withstand the rigors of competitive play and surpass the industry standard by 1.6 times. 

Designed for durability and precision, the keyboards feature a premium 5052 aluminium alloy top case, dual sound-dampening foam layers, pre-lubricated stabilizers, and a stainless steel plate. Together, these elements deliver a clean, crisp typing sound and an ultra-satisfying keystroke feel. 

Unrivalled Speed, Seamless Connectivity, Total Control

Powered by Razer HyperSpeed Wireless, the keyboards deliver ultra-fast 2.4 GHz connectivity with up to 1000Hz polling rate for lag-free responsiveness. Gamers can pair a compatible Razer gaming mouse to the same dongle and connect up to three Bluetooth devices for seamless multitasking across platforms.

Both models feature a clickable multi-function roller and a full suite of dedicated macro buttons and controls, giving gamers quick access to macros, music, and battery status with just a tap or scroll – no interruptions to gameplay. With Power Saving Mode, users can enjoy up to 980 hours of battery life on a single charge, making it ideal for long sessions, whether grinding rank or streaming all night. Built-in Razer Snap Tap adds a tactical edge by instantly prioritizing the latest input between two keys, without needing to release the first.

The Razer BlackWidow V4 Low-profile HyperSpeed and Razer BlackWidow V4 Low-profile Tenkeyless HyperSpeed are designed to elevate any battlestation with cutting-edge performance, ergonomic comfort, and a refined, ultra-slim form for an all-out immersive gaming experience.
