There are a few drawbacks, but the overall performance is worth the investment. If you’re in the market for a well-rounded workhorse that performs well whether you’re working, gaming, or doing schoolwork, the BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed is a solid option. This feeling is exacerbated considering the spacebar stabilizer is nearly rattle-free and gives off a pleasant sound. It may not bother every user, but the inconsistency of the rattles gets old quickly. The only issue preventing this keyboard from going everywhere is its noisy and inconsistent stabilizers. The flexibility of having Bluetooth, wireless, and USB-C helps future-proof the BlackWidow V3 Mini and softens the blow of the missing PBT keycaps, though. The Razer BlackWidow Chroma V2 with its Razer Green switches proved to be significantly better for typing performance with an average of 94WPM vs the Deathstalker Chroma with its membrane switches. Buyers can always purchase a second PBT set from Razer or another company, but the 65-percent form factor might make it tough to find an affordable and readily available set.
Taking away the double-shot PBT keycaps is a misplay considering the price. Even with its added bells and whistles, the BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed misses a couple large boxes.
