| Pros , different | Tom's Hardware found the pre-lubed Corsair Reds the smoothest stock switches in a mainstream gaming board Two layers of EVA foam give a damped sound with no case ping (Tom's Hardware, PC Gamer) Aluminum top plate and a solid chassis, with only slight flex under hard pressure (Trusted Reviews) Metal dial for volume, brightness, scrolling and zoom, though Tom's Hardware says it is limited to five presets rather than fully customizable Per-key RGB with shine-through double-shot ABS keycaps and five onboard profiles (Tom's Hardware) Magnetic wrist rest in the box (Tom's Hardware, PC Gamer) | Six dedicated macro keys on the left, a feature few full-size boards still offer (Razer) Four media keys and a multi-function roller (Razer); CGMagazine used the volume wheel constantly Cushioned magnetic wrist rest that CGMagazine found noticeably more comfortable in long sessions 5052 aluminum alloy construction and extra-thick doubleshot ABS keycaps (Razer) Per-key Chroma RGB with underglow and up to 8,000 Hz polling (Razer) Linear Yellow option for a quieter, smoother feel (Razer; PCMag on the V4 Pro) |
| Cons , different | Integrated, non-detachable cable and no USB hub (Trusted Reviews, Tom's Hardware) Trusted Reviews called the keys not a great typing experience for tactile fans PC Gamer found the dial's click out of character and the wrist rest texture rough No dedicated media keys beyond the iCUE button (PC Gamer) Switches are fixed, with PC Gamer reporting no hot-swap Wired only, and tied to iCUE for macros and lighting | CGMagazine found the Green switches too loud for its taste Switches are fixed, with no hot-swap Takes more desk space than a TKL because of the macro column and wrist rest Razer's page for this model lists no USB passthrough, which the V4 Pro adds Only one review of this exact model was found; most coverage is of the V4 Pro Relies on Razer Synapse for macros and lighting |
| Research take , different | A quiet, solid full-size board that reviewers admire for switch smoothness and sound damping. Choose it for that feel and the dial; skip it if you want a detachable cable, tactile switches or hot-swap. | A feature-packed full-size gaming board whose macro keys, roller and wrist rest suit gamers more than hobbyists. Evidence for this exact model is thin, so check the V4 Pro reviews for the shared parts and choose Yellow if noise matters. |
