Our Verdict

Razer BlackWidow V3 Pro

Razer Pro Type Ultra

The Razer BlackWidow V3 Pro and the Razer Pro Type Ultra are both wireless mechanical boards, but the V3 Pro is designed for gaming while the Pro Type Ultra is designed for office use. The BlackWidow V3 Pro has RGB backlighting, dedicated media keys, a volume control wheel, and onboard memory. On the other hand, the Pro Type Ultra has white backlighting and a plainer, professional look. The BlackWidow V3 Pro is available with clicky Razer Green switches and linear Razer Yellow switches, while the Type Pro Ultra is available with linear Razer Yellow switches only.
