How can blackwidow v3 and blackwidow v4 have lower rgb than pro and get the same score really?

Hi there!

To clarify— between the Blackwidow V3 and the Blackwidow V4, only the Blackwidow V3 scores lower than the Blackwidow V4 Pro. The Blackwidow V4 has the same score as the Blackwidow V4 Pro. Did you mean to ask about the Razer Huntsman V2 instead?

In any case, both the Blackwidow V3 and the Razer Huntsman V2 score an 8.0 for Backlight Clarity because there are visible obstructions, and the legends aren’t as clearly visible as they are on both the Razer BlackWidow V4 And Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro, which scored a 9.0 respectively.

I think it might be good to add something like RGB intensity to your tests. In general, I think rgb is problematic in huntsman v2 keyboards because it has a super dim rgb.

Hi ErxQQ,

RGB intensity should be visible in the pictures. I agree that measuring and reporting the total intensity would be nice. We’ll keep it in mind and ponder as to what is the ideal way to achieve this.

We somewhat do score this currently with the backlight clarity but that only evaluates key readability so the keycaps account for a big part.

Thanks for the suggestion we do keep track of them.

Review writes key release latency as"11,3" but graph shows much lesser even in the same page

You’re right there’s something weird here. We should have 200 release samples. I’ll flag this to our testing team. We’ll look into this shortly.

I’m curious to know, did you guys test the keyboard latency with the software (razer synapse) running in the background? Since on your other razer keyboard reviews you’ve mentioned it adds some latency.

Hey!

The default testing has the software running in the background. But, like we’d written on a few of the other reviews, it does have a marginal impact on latency (<0.4ms) and shouldn’t be a concern unless you want to optimize as much as possible. We’ll be keeping an eye on the version number for Razer to see if it changes over time, but so far nothing massive.

There is talk that the performance of the full array and tkl versions are different. Is it possible to test it?

Hey GW,

Thanks for sending us your question.

From our current understanding, we expect the full-size version to deliver very similar performance to the TKL version. We typically avoid testing more than one size variant within a lineup unless we have a specific expectation that there might be a meaningful performance difference between them.

To that end, we haven’t encountered any specific claims from Razer or other users or reviewers suggesting there may be a difference in components between sizes in this lineup that would contribute to a difference in performance characteristics. But if you run across some material that suggests otherwise, we definitely encourage you to let us know about it, and we may consider testing the smaller variant if our review may not be representative of both.

Thanks again for reaching out, Best wishes!

8K 스캔을 가지고 있는데. 성능은 1K급으로 나오는 제품. 풀배열은 8K 풀성능이 나오는데. TKL 버전만 왜 성능을 너프시켜놨는지는 의문입니다. 기본적으로 풀배열 제품과 장단점을 모두 공유합니다. 두 제품 모두 있는 이슈는 고주파 이슈(특정 시스템에서 고주파 발생), 장시간 사용시 댐핑 변질로 인한 키감 변질 이슈

It has an 8K scan. The performance is 1K level. The full array has 8K full performance. I wonder why the performance is nerfed only for the TKL version. It basically shares all the pros and cons of the full array product. The issues that both products have are high frequency issues (high frequency occurs in certain systems), and the issue of key feel deterioration due to damping deterioration when used for a long time.

The full version of the product has very good figures like your site, but this is an evaluation of the tkl version.

I can’t understand how this can happen on a keyboard that uses the same mcu, but I’m curious to see if the measurements on rtings, which I check frequently, are similar.

Hi GW,

Thank you for your message!

We’ve come across EyeJoker’s excellent database before, and we’re very impressed with his testing.

At this time, we don’t have any plans to test the Razer Huntsman V2 TKL version separately. However, I’ve noted the reported performance differences between the full-size and TKL versions. This could be something we investigate in future test bench updates. We’re very interested in understanding how performance differences like this can happen between different size variants of the same product.

Thank you for your continued support. Please feel free to reach out again if you have any more questions or information to share.
