Razer Blackwidow V3 Tenkeyless

Razer BlackWidow V3 Tenkeyless: keep the keys, reclaim mouse space

A shorter keyboard can make a desk easier to arrange without making everyday shortcuts unfamiliar. The BlackWidow V3 Tenkeyless removes the number pad while retaining the function row and separate navigation keys. This black, US-layout version combines that practical format with the audible feedback of Razer Green mechanical switches.

More room beside the keyboard

Moving the mouse closer can be useful when you make broad aiming movements or have a narrow desk. TKL keeps dedicated arrows for menus and text editing, so there is less to relearn than on a 60% board. If you enter figures all day, consider how often you would miss the number pad.

A click you can hear and feel

Green switches provide a tactile bump and an audible click. They suit someone who enjoys pronounced feedback while typing and gaming. Consider the sound if you share a room or keep a microphone close to the keyboard; switch preference is as much about your surroundings as the game.

Colour around a familiar layout

Doubleshot ABS keycaps sit above a matte aluminium top plate. Chroma RGB lets you choose a restrained colour or a more animated effect through Razer's software. A simple scheme can also make your main gaming keys easier to locate without filling the desk with changing light.

Set the position before the lighting

The attached USB cable provides power and data, with cable-routing options underneath. This is a wired board with no charging routine. Start with its position and typing angle, then configure shortcuts and lighting.

• Leave space for your normal mouse movement.
• Check the US key layout against the layout selected in Windows.
• Keep the cable clear of the mouse mat.

It is a useful fit when you want mechanical feedback and dedicated navigation in a shorter keyboard.
