Razer Launches BlackWidow V4 Low-Profile HyperSpeed Keyboards with Up to 980-Hour Battery

The keyboards marry custom low-profile switches with HyperSpeed wireless in an ultrathin chassis whose 980-hour battery claim depends on disabling RGB lighting along with lowered polling rates.

Overview

  • Razer’s new BlackWidow V4 Low-Profile HyperSpeed series is available now in full-size and tenkeyless layouts, extending its flagship lineup into the slim-profile segment.
  • Each variant features custom green, yellow or orange low-profile mechanical switches and premium construction elements including an aluminum top plate, sound-dampening foam layers and shine-through PBT keycaps.
  • Connectivity options include HyperSpeed 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth and USB-C wired modes with up to 1,000 Hz polling, plus Razer Snap Tap for prioritizing keystrokes in competitive play.
  • The advertised 980 hours of battery life applies only in power-saving mode, which requires turning off Chroma RGB backlighting and lowering the polling rate.
  • Reported MSRP varies between outlets—full-size models have been listed from $199.99 to $229.99 and tenkeyless from $169.99 to $199.99—and these low-profile boards omit Pro-series extras like magnetic wrist rests and command dials.
