These Razer Yellow switches are brilliant.īuild quality is incredibly solid (for once) and the all-PBT keycaps look and feel great, and they should stand up to the test of time well. Razer didn’t say what the battery life was like with illumination on Hyperspeed, but the keyboard hasn’t run dry in the week I’ve used it intensively.
It boots up immediately when you press a key, registering that first stroke, stays on for a while but not too long, and battery life is amicably good with a rating of 200 hours, though that’s over the Bluetooth connection with the illumination switched off. It also comes with a namesake Hyperspeed wireless connection, making it just that bit tidier on your desk – and it works well, unlike older wireless keyboard implementations. Hyperspeed wireless connection for the winīut there’s more good stuff with the BlackWidow V3 Mini Hyperspeed than just its layout. Unless you’re a heavy typist and need better ergonomics and a numpad, this is all the keyboard you’ll ever need. Those extra couple of buttons make it much easier to work through text, even just in chats with friends, and arrow keys are also useful in some games. This one’s just too tall for extended typing sessions and doesn’t come with a fancy wrist rest. The one exception might be heavy office use, where you might want some improved ergonomics. It takes a keyboard from being suitable only for gaming and expands it to general use. This tiny difference in layout makes a world of difference in everyday usability. It’s a 65% keyboard, so it has those keys, along with page up, page down, and insert. That’s where the Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini Hyperspeed does something different. 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.
They make two key (pardon the pun) sacrifices that I simply cannot handle: The missing arrow keys and dedicated delete key.
For most PC gamers, they provide a much more effective and comfortable experience.īut I have an issue with 60% keyboards like the aforementioned two.
Small keyboards are all the rage these days.
