The short version
The BlackWidow V4 75% is Razer's wired compact keyboard with a hot-swappable PCB for 3- and 5-pin switches, preinstalled Orange Tactile Gen-3 switches, an aluminum top case and a padded wrist rest. Tom's Hardware found the sound much improved for Razer but the styling plain, and PC Gamer considered it a capable first step into hot-swapping at a sensible price. Keycaps are double-shot ABS, and there is no wireless option.
Pros
- Hot-swappable PCB accepts 3-pin and 5-pin switches
- Polling up to 8000 Hz through Synapse
- Padded detachable wrist rest included
- Aluminum top case with a tape-enhanced PCB for improved acoustics
Cons
- Double-shot ABS keycaps rather than PBT
- Wired only, with no wireless mode
- Styling is plain and media keys are only partly programmable
- Some stabilizer rattle, per Tom's Hardware
Best for
- Gamers who want a hot-swappable board from a major brand
- Buyers starting to experiment with switch swapping

MixedCredits Razer's first hot-swap board with much-improved acoustics and 8 kHz polling, but finds the design dull, media keys only partly programmable and stabilizers slightly rattly.

Common questions
Is the BlackWidow V4 75% wireless?
No. It is a wired keyboard that connects over USB-C, so it has no battery or wireless mode.
Can I install my own switches?
Yes. The hot-swappable PCB accepts 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches and also screw-in stabilizers, but Razer's warranty excludes damage from internal modifications.
