What we like about Razer Blackwidow V4 X

  • Six dedicated macro keys for highly customizable gaming and productivity shortcuts
  • Solid and sturdy build quality featuring a metallic top plate and thick-walled keycaps
  • Smooth and well-tuned stabilizers with sound-dampening foam for improved keyboard acoustics
  • Vibrant and extensive per-key Razer Chroma RGB lighting with deep customization options
  • Responsive Gen-3 mechanical switches available in clicky (Green) or smooth (Yellow) options

What we don't like about Razer Blackwidow V4 X

  • Non-detachable USB cable makes it harder to replace if damaged and limits customization
  • ABS keycaps are prone to becoming greasy and showing shine over extended use
  • Lacks a wrist rest, which is included in more expensive V4 models
  • Not hot-swappable, preventing users from easily changing or upgrading switches
  • Occasional reports of key input issues, such as double-typing or unresponsive keys
  • Razer Synapse software can be resource-heavy and requires an account for full functionality

Verdict

The Razer BlackWidow V4 X is a wired full-size mechanical gaming keyboard offered with Razer Green clicky or Yellow linear switches and built around a robust aluminum top case. Key features include six dedicated macro keys, a multifunction roller, per-key Razer Chroma RGB lighting, and sound-improving internal foam with lubricated stabilizers. Its main strengths are strong gaming responsiveness, extensive macro customization, and improved typing acoustics compared with older models. Main drawbacks are the lack of an included wrist rest, its large desk footprint, and the need to rely on Synapse for deeper customization.
