Razer is no slouch when it comes to keyboards, offering up options for everyone from gamers to the office. Last year, we took a look at the Razer Huntsman Mini 60% keyboard and noted the one thing we’d love to have seen on it was a Bluetooth connection. Today, Razer has announced the BlackWidow V3 Mini Hyperspeed mechanical 65% keyboard which can be used wired, wirelessly via a HyperSpeed dongle, or over Bluetooth.

“Since its launch in 2010, the BlackWidow range has set the benchmark for gaming keyboards and has been continuously evolving with community feedback. Since the launch of the Razer Huntsman Mini, we’ve been getting requests for a compact wireless keyboard, which resulted in the Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed – it’s compact and wireless, while still retaining the essential keys for both gaming and everyday use.”
Alvin Cheung, Senior Vice President of Razer’s Peripherals Business Unit
These compact 60% keyboards have become more popular over the past few years. Not only are they perfect for those with smaller desks, but they also make great portable solutions for those who want to use a better keyboard with their laptop while on the go. But wait, the Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini Hyperspeed is a 65% mechanical keyboard. If you look closely, you’ll notice that this allows Razer to add dedicated arrow keys as well as del, pg up, pg dn, and ins keys — all popular and, arguably, heavy use keys.
Just because it’s compact, doesn’t mean Razer cut any corners here. The latest keyboard from the company features Razer Mechanical Switches (Razer Yellow linear/silent or Razer Green tactile/clicky), per key Razer Chroma RGB lighting, Doubleshot ABS keycaps, and more.
