Peripherals Unpacking Part 4: Good things for the table: Razer RAZER Black Widow Spider V3 Mini Wireless Edition Unpacking

In the past two years, with the improvement of players' demand for individualization, many peripheral manufacturers have launched more novel and subdivided keyboard products.

Generally speaking, the smaller keyboard products will have a more refined and popular appearance, but many manufacturers have been groping how to balance the user's needs while ensuring the keyboard's excellent appearance.

The Black Widow Spider series keyboards released by Razer in 2010 quickly became popular due to the independent switch body with good feel feedback, as well as various lighting effects and models. Feedback from a huge user base is a good help for a more rational iterative upgrade for major manufacturers. The time-honored family products can ensure an excellent and stable operating experience for players through long-term research and development. Can fill the blank period of new product launch. The subsequent upgraded subdivisions of the competitive version, normal version and ultimate version also fully reflect the respect for the audience's word-of-mouth evaluation

Earlier this year, Razer launched a new keyboard product based on its own Black Widow Spider V3: 65% configuration

The mini wireless version of the Razer RAZER Black Widow V3 Mini Wireless Edition, today brings the unboxing experience from the user’s perspective.

The packaging still follows Razer's family-style classic design, and the iconic black and green style is very recognizable. On the front of the package is the product rendering of the RAZER Black Widow V3 Mini Wireless Edition, with the Razer logo, product model, selling point axis, and other information dotted among them.

The Black Widow Spider V3 mini wireless version adopts a floating design, and the compact layout makes the keyboard more delicate and outstanding in appearance compared with the traditional male model.

The 65% arrangement belongs to the smallest size acceptable to ordinary people. The advantages are compact layout, small and beautiful size, light weight and portability, but there is also a certain threshold for familiarity and use. Of course, there are few keys but the functional area is not lacking. Through The key combination form of FN+key can also replace the key that is not used frequently.

For most people, the editing area and direction area are still practical. Compared with the other 65 models I have used, the V3 mini wireless version is more reasonable in terms of key layout. The four commonly used editing keys are reserved on the first floor, and the other editing keys and custom keys are reserved through fn+, and the custom settings of the driver can meet the input needs of most users.

A big advantage of the small configuration is that it is very convenient to take out. In addition to the stable 2.4G wireless connection, the RAZER Black Widow Spider V3 Mini Wireless Edition can also save three sets of devices connected via Bluetooth 5.0. It is more convenient to switch and use. It improves the user experience of the product in multi-device scenarios.

The toggle connection switch is also my personal preference, because it has a strong sense of feedback and is not easy to accidentally touch.

The four corners of the back are equipped with non-slip silicone foot stickers, which can be used without worrying about sliding and shaking. The double-stage foot support is convenient for users to adjust the input height.

The receiver storage compartment which is convenient for take-out use and the darkly printed logo are designed harmoniously, alleviating the monotony of the pure black bottom case.

The Razer Green switch belongs to the paragraph switch, and the feel is as good as ever, with a trigger key travel of 1.9±0.4mm. The trigger pressure of 50g and the knock life of up to 80 million times are the hallmarks of this well-recognized excellent mechanical switch. Because the cross axis adopts a double side wall structure, the stability when the button is triggered is also effectively guaranteed, and it has a certain dustproof and waterproof effect.

Similar to the green switch, the key sound of the green switch is crisp and has optimized tactile feedback. The rhythm of the green switch is relatively strong, the total key stroke is 4mm, the trigger pressure: 50g, and the trigger point: 1.9mm. The actual tapping is also relatively heavy, with a clear sense of keystrokes, but the trigger is indeed very comfortable, and the confirmation feedback is very strong. This is also the reason why the paragraph axis is preferred by enthusiasts who are new to the keyboard pit.

The shell of the Black Widow Spider V3 mini wireless version adopts Razer's new transparent PC material, which has better light transmission. The large key position adopts the relatively rare balance bar design at present. The balance bar is not as stable and convenient as the satellite axis, but the feel is really good. The large keys feel good, and the feedback is fast and obvious when pressed comfortably, without being astringent at all.

The keycap is Razer’s insistence on ABS. Overseas ABS is the mainstream. GMK has thousands of high-quality two-color keycaps. However, cheap ABS has a skin-friendly, delicate and light-transmitting quality, and is easy to get oily and stained with dust. Criticized by players, the ABS that is generally criticized in China is actually surface-painted ABS, so in fact, it is the paint layer that is oiled and worn. Razer's optimized two-color injection-molded ABS effectively solves the problem of oiling and wear, which is confirmed by most user feedback.

However, due to the process of the two-color injection molding keycap, the injection molding from the bottom will block the light, so there are more or less shadows in the light-transmitting area of ​​the fully closed two-color injection molding keycap. After the power is turned on, you can see the shadow of the keyboard Caps key and the tab key. It is also a common problem of the current fully closed two-color injection keycap.

The lights of the Razer keyboard are quite eye-catching. Generally, good lights are bright and not dazzling, dazzling and harmonious. The keyboard can realize functions such as volume, multimedia switching and lighting effect adjustment through FN combination.

Leiyun's interface is relatively simple and beautiful, with detailed functions and easy-to-understand instructions. Moreover, Leiyun 3 supports cloud transmission, and the registered account can transmit the configuration of the keyboard to the cloud and then synchronize it to different devices. Support five groups of custom configuration onboard storage, FN + menu key can be switched without drive, all keys support custom and combination key functions.

In terms of lighting, it supports backlight customization, equipped with Razer Chroma RGB illusion backlight system, except for its own single button 16.8 million color customization. There are also a variety of preset lighting effect modes, which are very playable.

In terms of connection, Razer RAZER Black Widow Spider V3 Mini Wireless supports Bluetooth and 2.4G wireless connection. Its anti-interference and stability performed well during the experience period. The Bluetooth connection typing test of the computer/mobile phone was carried out respectively. During the experience process, there was basically no sense of delay. Although the battery life needs to be tested for a long time, the use of the field office Input requirements are fully met. And it can match three devices at the same time, and the delay of the second cut is almost impossible to check, which is very useful for multi-device users.

In terms of desktop matching, the small configuration is still very good. The overall texture is quite good and can embellish the dull desktop. The 68-key floating design and compact layout make the keyboard stand out in appearance compared to the traditional male models with 104 and 87 keys. The layout of fewer keys did not make me feel abrupt and aggressive. The abandoned and reserved keys are very reasonable and just right. Bluetooth and 2.4G wireless connections expand the usage scenarios of the product. In addition, the small size but complete double-layer function design, low-latency wireless connection and 200h battery life in the dark mode have greatly satisfied the portable needs for going out. In general, this current official price of 799 Razer RAZER Black Widow Spider V3 Mini Wireless Edition is a product from a major manufacturer that can be described as good in appearance, feel, and wireless experience. It is worth recommending to small series users!
