HAMBURG, Germany – Razer™, the world’s leading lifestyle brand for gamers, announced a milestone in its keyboard innovation journey with the launch of its first-ever barebones keyboard: Razer BlackWidow V4 75% Barebones.
This release marks a bold new direction for Razer, introducing a fully customizable keyboard chassis designed specifically for keyboard modders and DIY enthusiasts. Available in both Black and White, the BlackWidow V4 75% Barebones delivers a premium foundation for users who want to build their ideal keyboard – combining enthusiast-level acoustics, cutting-edge performance, and immersive lighting in a compact 75% layout.
Stripped down to its core, the barebones version of the award-winning BlackWidow V4 75% retains the same build quality, while giving users complete freedom to install their own 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switches and custom keycaps. Every detail of the chassis is engineered to elevate the typing experience such as dual-layer dampening foam that minimizes unwanted reverberation, factory-lubricated stabilizers for smoother keystrokes, an FR4 plate for a deeper sound profile, and a pre-applied tape that softens high-frequency clacks.
Performance is equally prioritized. With Razer’s 8000 Hz HyperPolling technology, the keyboard responds eight times faster than standard gaming keyboards, ensuring ultra-low latency for competitive play. The keyboard also features vibrant per-key RGB lighting and two-side underglow powered by Razer Chroma™ RGB, with support for over 300 integrated games and applications for synchronized, immersive lighting across the entire setup.
To complete their custom build, users can choose from Razer’s Mechanical Switches Gen-3, available separately in packs of 36. Options include the iconic Green switches for a clicky feel, Yellow switches for smooth and linear keystrokes, or Orange switches for those who prefer tactile bumps without the clicks. The Razer Phantom Keycap Upgrade Set, available in both Black and White, further enhances the keyboard’s aesthetics and RGB illumination.
With the launch of the BlackWidow V4 75% Barebones, Razer empowers a new generation of builders to take full control of their keyboard experience—delivering enthusiast-grade customization with the trusted performance and design excellence Razer is known for. This marks not just the debut of a new product, but the beginning of a new era in Razer’s keyboard legacy.
