A handy reduction on a capable mechanical 'board.

Razer's BlackWidow V3 Mini Hyperspeed has been out for a few years now, but it remains one of our favourite 65 percent gaming keyboards for its solid wireless connectivity, responsive switches and decent battery life that make it a great all-rounder. What's more, we've seen this 'board drop down to $97 from Woot!, making it less than half of its $200 retail price, and one of the lowest price it's ever been.

The BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed on offer here comes with the brand's own Yellow switches inside, which are a quiet linear option suited for both gaming and productivity workloads. They're responsive and smooth, while also coming with dampening to reduce their noise. This is ideal also for use in an office environment so folks around you won't complain if your keyboard is too loud.

The 65 percent layout here offers a smaller form factor that sacrifices most of the nav cluster, number pad and a function row in the name of offering more desk space. If you're not used to a smaller form factor keyboard, then it can take some getting used to, but offers a lot more in the way of desk real estate - handy either if you're either short on space, or you're playing competitive FPS titles where big mouse movements are needed.

With this in mind, the 65 percent layout at least retains a single column nav cluster and arrow keys, so you aren't devoid of all useful features without the need of a function layer. Its plastic frame is also sturdy, while the doubleshot ABS keycaps offer a higher quality and more durable finish than other ABS keycaps we've seen.

The BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed also supports wireless connectivity over either Bluetooth or the Razer's snappy HyperSpeed USB-a receiver for a virtually zero-latency connection. In addition, there's also USB-C wired, too. The battery life here is strong, as long as you keep the Chroma backlighting off. Without any RGB goodness, you'll get up to 200 hours, although turning it on at full whack reduces that figure to just 17 hours.

If you want to grab a capable, small layout wireless mechanical gaming keyboard with a serious discount, look no further than this Woot! deal on the Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed.
