Razer just made the only compact gaming keyboard you need to buy. The company shrunk down the BlackWidow V3 to the 65% form factor and threw in HyperSpeed wireless for an awesome gaming machine.

As you can tell from its name, the Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed is juggling a lot of features in spite of the keyboard s small stature. First and foremost, it provides an updated version of the beloved BlackWidow range with either clicky green or quiet Yellow switches (the latter have been improved thanks to silicon sound dampeners). Yet the numpad has been carved away. This is a compact design as a result, and it boasts a 65% form-factor that makes it very portable. Thanks to the inclusion of directional and page navigation keys, it s got more utility than standard 60% alternatives as well.

If you’re a keyboard nerd, the Drop Shift mechanical keyboard is a very exciting prospect.
Drop, formerly known as Massdrop, primarily sells keyboard components and custom keycaps but also makes a few keyboards of its own. Its latest, the Drop Shift, is an inventive riff on the full-size keyboard that condenses the traditional 104-key format into a more manageable 99-key layout while retaining complete functionality. Like the Drop ENTR, which we reviewed last year, the Shift is a keyboard enthusiast’s keyboard. It has few features compared to productivity or gaming keyboards in the same price range, but what it lacks in bells and whistles, it makes up for with pure typing feel. Furnished with Drop’s own Halo True switches, the Drop Shift makes typing feel more deliberate and enjoyable. It’s a special experience for those willing to invest in the simple tactile pleasures of typing.
