RAZER™ MECHANICAL SWITCHES - A LEGACY OF INNOVATION

In the past, mechanical keyboard switches were only designed and used for typing—but our vision was of something greater. Driven to change the game, Razer pioneered an entire industry by creating the world’s first mechanical gaming keyboard: the Razer™ BlackWidow.

Not long after, Razer again pushed the envelope by designing our own mechanical keyboard switches. Specially engineered to meet the rigorous demands of competitive gaming, Razer™ Mechanical Switches redefined gaming performance limits and continued raising the bar for over a decade.

2013 - RAZER MECHANICAL CLICKY AND TACTILE SWITCHES GEN-1

Created the first mechanical keyboard switches for gaming: Green Clicky switches for clicky, tactile keystrokes and Orange Tactile switches with a quiet, tactile bump. Both feature a lighter actuation force for quicker response and a 60-million keystroke lifespan, which is 20% more durable than the industry standard.

2017 - RAZER MECHANICAL LINEAR SWITCHES GEN-1

Introduced Yellow Linear switches in the Razer BlackWidow V2, featuring a shorter actuation distance with smooth, silent key travel for more excellent gaming responsiveness and focus.

2020 - RAZER MECHANICAL CLICKY AND LINEAR SWITCHES GEN-2

We introduced our new mechanical keyboard switch with the Razer BlackWidow V3 line, swapping to transparent top housing with a built-in LED lens for brighter RGB lighting. Other improvements include an 80-million keystroke lifespan and dual side walls for better stability and protection against dust and liquids. The Yellow Linear switches also feature built-in silicon dampeners to reduce bottoming-out sounds further.

2023 - RAZER MECHANICAL CLICKY AND LINEAR SWITCHES GEN-3

Introduced our next generation of mechanical keyboard switches with the Razer BlackWidow V4 line, featuring bottom housing with a new milky translucent finish for better RGB light diffusion. Switch construction was also improved and rated with a 100-million keystroke lifespan, double the industry standard.

2023 - RAZER MECHANICAL TACTILE SWITCHES GEN-3

Introduced our revamped tactile switches with the Razer BlackWidow V4 75%. Created to meet the resurging interest amongst keyboard enthusiasts, they feature new tactile bump mechanics that deliver satisfying feedback with a pleasant ‘pop’ sound while retaining a light actuation force for greater response.
