Mechanical gaming keyboard Razer BlackWidow V3 Tenkeyless — USB, QWERTY US, Razer Yellow switches, RGB backlight, black

The Razer BlackWidow V3 Tenkeyless is a compact mechanical gaming keyboard that keeps core BlackWidow features in a smaller footprint. It uses Razer™ Yellow linear mechanical switches with sound dampeners, an aluminum top frame with a matte finish, and full Razer Chroma™ RGB support. The tenkeyless layout omits the numeric keypad for easier mouse positioning and a cleaner desk setup, while cable routing grooves let you guide the USB cable neatly in any direction.

Advantages

Razer Yellow mechanical switches provide smooth, linear keystrokes without a tactile bump and include dampeners to reduce noise. The switches are rated for an 80 million keystroke lifespan for long-term reliability. The aluminum top frame increases durability for extended use and the keyboard’s compact tenkeyless form factor saves desk space and improves ergonomics for gamers who prefer minimal setups. Razer Chroma RGB enables customizable lighting and enhanced in-game immersion.
