Razer Enters the Custom Keyboard Arena with Its First Barebones Gaming Keyboard

Razer, the world's leading lifestyle brand for gamers, today unveiled a significant expansion of its keyboard portfolio with the Razer BlackWidow V4 75% Barebones—the company's first-ever barebones keyboard designed for the growing community of keyboard enthusiasts and DIY builders.

This strategic move represents Razer's commitment to the custom keyboard community, offering a premium foundation that combines the company's renowned gaming performance with the flexibility that modders demand. The BlackWidow V4 75% Barebones is available in both Black and White colorways, delivering enthusiast-grade acoustics, cutting-edge gaming technology, and vibrant RGB lighting in a compact 75% form factor.

Engineered for Enthusiasts, Built for Performance

The BlackWidow V4 75% Barebones strips away the switches and keycaps while preserving everything that makes the award-winning BlackWidow V4 75% exceptional. This approach gives builders complete creative control over their switch selection—supporting both 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches—while maintaining Razer's signature build quality and gaming-focused features.

Every aspect of the chassis has been meticulously engineered for superior acoustics and feel:
