There's a huge deal on a brand-new gaming keyboard that you'll want to sink your teeth into before we enter the new year. The Razer BlackWidow V4 Low Profile TKL gaming keyboard is on sale at Amazon-owned Woot, with three different switch options to choose from, all for less than $140.

There are two things to immediately note about this wireless keyboard, at least compared to previous BlackWidow models that we've tested, including in our Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro review — this is a low profile, TKL model. That means it lacks the numpad on the side (TKL meaning ten keys less), and it's ultra-slim, with a low 18.5mm height from top to bottom. In many respect, it acts as an upgrade over older slim profile keyboards like the Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro which we reviewed back in 2022.

The BlackWidow V4 features a slightly redesigned chassis compared to other models in the series, including the V4 Pro, although the most obvious change is its low-profile nature. Razer's orange, yellow, and green switch options are available here — orange for tactile, yellow for linear, and green for clicky.

Green clicky switches are perfect if you like the sound and response of an old-school mechanical keyboard, while orange tactile switches are a little more subtle. Yellow linear switches are the quietest, and offer a smoother, faster keystroke if that's important to you. This is a low-profile board, however, so all three models will have shorter actuation points and total travel distances than the standard BlackWidow models.

Your preference, your choice, as all three options are on sale for that record-low price tag. Alongside the low-profile switches and keycaps is a wireless board with both Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz Hyperspeed wireless connectivity. You'll see the best performance using the low-latency Hyperspeed mode, but Bluetooth will offer the best battery life, with Razer claiming the Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro Low Profile TKL can last up to 980 hours (or 40 days) in its special power-saving mode. You can also use this board in wired mode using the supplied USB cable.

Like other Razer gaming keyboards, this model comes with some of the usual bells and whistles. RGB backlighting is visible across all of the keys, and you can customize how the lighting works using Razer's Synapse software. That's also where you can customize your board keys, including the clickable roller in the top-right, along with the three multi-function keys below it. Think macros, shortcuts, and quick commands, all of which you can configure using Synapse.

A low-profile, TKL keyboard like this Razer model is the ideal option for a gamer who wants to reduce the strain on their wrists and hands and doesn't have a lot of space on their desk. The $139.99 sale price is hard to beat for this premium board, so if you're looking for a bargain upgrade to your peripherals, jump on this Woot offer from Amazon before the stock runs out.
