On Tuesday, Razer launched its first keyboard for the DIY set.As its name implies, the BlackWidow V4 75% Barebones is the popular mechanical keyboard, only without keys and keycaps.It could be a solid option if you like Razer's design and Chroma RGB but want to bring your own keys.Otherwise, the Barebones BlackWidow is identical to the fully assembled variant.
It still supports 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switches and custom keycaps.It offers a polling rate of up to 8,000Hz with Razer's HyperPolling tech.Other details include factory-lubricated stabilizers for smoother keystrokes and dual-layer dampening foam.It even has pre-applied tape to soften higher frequencies.
For a full rundown of the keyboard's feature set, Engadget's Igor Bonifacic reviewed it for in 2023.At $140, the black barebones version is $60 cheaper than the pre-assembled version.The white variant is slightly less thrifty at $150.(Unfortunately, you can't get a barebones one in phantom green.)
