Razer is diving deep into the custom keyboard scene with the launch of its very first barebones keyboard: the Razer BlackWidow V4 75% Barebones. Officially revealed on June 10, 2025, this sleek DIY-friendly board marks a new chapter in Razer’s long-running BlackWidow legacy—perfect for gamers who want full control over their keyboard build.
Available now in both Black and White finishes, the BlackWidow V4 75% Barebones is designed with modders in mind. It keeps Razer’s premium design ethos but strips the keyboard down to a highly customizable shell. The result? An enthusiast-level base that’s ideal for personalizing every keystroke.

Built for Modders, Loved by Gamers
Razer’s move into the barebones market isn’t just about looks—this keyboard means business. It’s compatible with both 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches and comes equipped with features that modders crave, including:
- Dual-layer dampening foam to reduce unwanted ping and reverb
- Factory-lubricated stabilizers for a smooth typing experience
- FR4 mounting plate that enhances sound depth
- Pre-applied tape mod for softening high-pitched keystrokes
All of this sits in a compact, 75% layout that cuts down the bulk without sacrificing function—ideal for clean setups and travel-ready rigs.
Performance That Keeps Up
Customization doesn’t mean compromise. The keyboard supports Razer HyperPolling at 8000 Hz, offering a staggering 8x faster response time compared to standard gaming keyboards. Whether you’re fragging in VALORANT or grinding in Diablo IV, this thing keeps up with every click.
On top of that, it boasts per-key RGB and a dual-side underglow powered by Razer Chroma RGB. That means full sync support for 300+ games and apps, creating a fully immersive RGB experience across your battle station.
Go Full Custom With Switch & Keycap Options
To complete the build, Razer has made its Mechanical Switches Gen-3 available separately. You’ve got three core options:
- Green Switches – Clicky and tactile
- Yellow Switches – Smooth and linear
- Orange Switches – Tactile with a quiet profile
You can also pick up the Razer Phantom Keycap Upgrade Set (Black or White) for that extra premium look and improved RGB glow-through.
