Razer launches its first barebones mechanical keyboard


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 IGN 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.) You can order the BlackWidow V4 75% Barebones today on Razer’s website.
