Our Verdict

Razer BlackWidow Lite

Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed

The Razer BlackWidow Lite is a TenKeyLess wired gaming board, while the Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed is a 65% compact wireless board. If you don't like RGB backlighting, the Lite has white lighting with individually lit keys and a dedicated F-row. On the other hand, if you often switch between devices, the V3 Mini HyperSpeed can pair with up to three devices at once via Bluetooth, and you can also use it with its USB receiver. It has much lower latency, whether wired or with its receiver, and it has a Windows key lock to prevent you from accidentally minimizing your game. The Lite is available with tactile Razer Orange switches, while the V3 Mini HyperSpeed is available with clicky Razer Green and linear Razer Yellow switches.
