Returning to the top of the keyboard, the media controls include buttons for back, play/pause, forward and a volume knob with a mute toggle at its center. Finally, a panel at the top center conceals the 2.4GHz USB Type-A dongle for low latency wireless connectivity. The bottom of the keyboard is plastic with four rubberized squares at the corners to ensure it sticks solidly and quietly to your desk with two-stage foldable feet at the top to give you a comfortable angle for typing at either six or nine degrees. The left side features the switch to move between a Bluetooth or 2.4GHz wireless connection.

On the back of the keyboard is a USB Type-C port for either wired connectivity or charging using the included braided USB Type-A-to-USB Type-C cable. And as someone who is typically annoyed by wrist rests, I found this one quite comfortable to use. The wrist rest does give things away with the Razer logo dead center, but like the rest of the keyboard, it’s black-on-black and quite subtle, even from a distance. It’s an interesting placement as it’s obscured completely if you choose to use the included plush leatherette wrist rest, which is angled to align perfectly with the bottom of the keyboard. The light show includes the Razer logo centered at the base of the keyboard. I’ll touch on the specifics of what you can do with the lighting later, but the cascades of shifting colors certainly spices things up that staid black finish. That is, of course, when the Razer Chroma RGB lighting isn’t fired up. With the exception of the media controls in the top-right of the keyboard, there is little to immediately call it out as a gaming keyboard.

The overall design of the V3 Pro is actually quite understated with its matte black aluminum top frame and textured Doubleshot ABS keycaps. (Image credit: Laptop Mag) Razer BlackWidow V3 Pro Gaming Keyboard design
