Razer BlackWidow V3 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard: Green Mechanical Switches - Tactile & Clicky - Chroma RGB Lighting - Compact Form Factor - Programmable Macros - Halo Infinite

Product Information

Hybrids haven’t really changed much in the last few years. We’ve seen detachable keyboards, 360-degree hinges and the like, but nothing that’s really made us sit up and take notice – until now. Meet Lenovo’s brand-new Yoga Book, a super slim 2-in-1 hybrid whose keyboard can double up as an actual paper notepad. Lenovo, you have my attention. NuPhy Rose Glacier, NuPhy Night Breeze, Gateron Baby Raccoon, Gateron G Pro Red 2.0, Gateron G Pro Brown 2.0 Lenovo is making a big deal about the pen, and I think it's with good reason. Here is what they say it is capable of and what inspired it from their press release:

From Apple, there’s the Apple Magic keyboard, but if you want a cheaper and better experience, then go for the NuPhy. It sounds better, arguably looks better, and will even fit perfectly in your Mac setup. You can see details for other variants and configurations below. We expect our test results to apply to all models. Name It’s almost a mirror image of Wacom’s Bamboo Spark – only you can now see directly what you’re writing onscreen, rather than waiting for your notes to sync with your phone. Each Yoga Book comes with a magnetic clip so you can slot any kind of A5 notepad underneath the screen, and it can still register and digitise your pen strokes up to 10mm in paper depth. This is great if you prefer writing on paper, but the keyboard surface is a pretty good substitute as well, thanks to its convincing textured finish, which makes it feel almost as good as writing on paper when you don’t have a real pad to hand. The display itself measures 10.1in across the diagonal and has a resolution of 1,920 x 1,200. There’s 4GB of RAM onboard, as well as a 64-bit Intel Atom processor and 64GB of storage that can be expanded with a microSD card up to 128GB. The speakers support Dolby Atmos technology for enhanced audio, and 4G LTE versions will also be available depending on the market.I will say Lenovo is fair about expectations for the Halo keyboard. They say it's better than what traditional tablets offer (no doubt), but fall short of saying it trumps a physical keyboard instead saying that it is "comparable." Do I honestly need a new keyboard, headset, mouse, and oversized mat that lights up? Of course not. But would seeing a desk full of Halo Infinite-inspired gear give me a childlike sense of joy every time I enter my office? You betcha, and that’s the beauty of limited edition hardware. The Halo Infinite-themed keyboard also comes with an ergonomic wrist rest, which attaches to your keyboard magnetically to ensure it doesn't slip and slide during your gaming sessions, and a bonus in-game reward: Deathly Poison Weapon Coating. Wired USB mice will work only in select games and apps that have enabled mouse navigation. Plug a USB keyboard into your Xbox for getting around the console and easy text entry."

Lenovo’s hoping to squeeze around 15 hours of mixed-use battery life from the Yoga Book, but its 8,500mAh battery also supports fast-charging, so it should be relatively easy to top up throughout the day if you’re running low. A fast charger is included in the box, and Lenovo claims you’ll be able to get 80% in just 50 minutes. The Android 6 interface has been pretty much left alone by Lenovo, but it has included a few productivity tools to make it easier to use. Multi-window support is arguably the most useful feature here, letting you have up to four miniaturised windows onscreen at any one time, but you’ll also find a taskbar and standard keyboard shortcuts, giving it the same kind of laptop-friendly look as Google’s Pixel C. A free upgrade to Android Nougat will also be made available in the coming months. The Windows 10 version, meanwhile, will support Microsoft’s new Windows Ink feature, as well as Cortana and OneNote. We've added a link to the newly-reviewed NuPhy Air75 V2 in the Single-Key Latency section of this review. We've converted this review to Test Bench 1.3, which overhauls how key input is evaluated. We've added new tests for Single Key Latency, Multi Key Latency, Data Transmission, and Chord Split. We've also introduced a new Raw Performance usage and adjusted how the Gaming and Office usage scores are calculated. You can see the full changelog here. The keyboard and mouse are compatible with both PC and the Xbox X/S console, meaning you can enhance your gaming experience across both platforms. So whether you received a copy of Halo Infinite for Christmas, have gift money to splash, or simply want the ultimate Halo-themed PC setup, now's an excellent time to buy.It’s been three years in development – the longest period of time Lenovo has ever spent working on a single product – and it’s been six months since I last saw it in the flesh, during a behind-closed-doors sneak preview at this year’s MWC. That’s a long tease for a hybrid, but rest assured – it’s been worth the wait.

I am a big fan of these switches and their more pronounced tactile bumps, although you may feel differently depending on how you like your switches to feel.Lenovo also boasts that the keyboard "constantly 'learns about and adapts to' the typing habits of its user, with built-in prediction and artificial learning software. This software also allows for continuous optimization." Of course, we'll need to test it out to see how good it is compared to physical keys. The stabilizers on the longer keys like enter, shift, and the space bar are smooth, wobble, and noise free. These stabilizers keep the longer keys, well, stable, making sure that a keypress feels the same no matter where on the key you press. This is a great sounding board that feels and sounds great to type on. Original story: You're probably well aware that the Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S all feature mouse and keyboard support in certain games, but you might not be aware of how far it extends, with over 100 games supporting it! I grew up with Halo, but haven't had a console for a while now. I remember spending hours playing H3 matchmaking, as well as falling in love with the story. ANYWAYS, I was recently gifted a gaming PC, and I decided to buy MCC. I've been having a GREAT time playing the campaign again, but I've been struggling adapting to mouse and keyboard. I'm writing here with hope that someone else has been in my shoes, and might be able to help get me up on my feet!

The Silicon in the case, the Ghost bar, the keycaps, and the key switches all add up to make the keyboard sound incredible. It sounds almost as good as some custom keyboards, and, crucially, costs an awful lot less. Still, even if it is a little twitchy at first, Lenovo’s artificial learning software should make typing easier with time, as the keyboard will learn exactly where your fingers land when you hit certain keys and automatically adjust. For instance, if you always hit the spacebar below its defined area, then the Halo Keyboard will remember that and still register the keypress for you. The same goes for letter keys as well, and there’s even a predictive text engine, allowing you to type as fast as you would on a normal mobile device. The Halo in the name of the board comes down to a ring of light around the edge of the board that illuminates and shifts in the RGB color spectrum. That’s on the outside of the board, but also on the inner edge of the keyboard. It’s slim, and unobtrusive, but looks brilliant. It illuminates your desk as well, and if you’ve got the frosted wrist rest, lights that up with the light diffused by the acrylic. For those that want to do some customizing, there’s the Q1 from Keychron or the GMMK Pro from Glorious. They’ll cost you more, but you’ll get that custom keyboard at the end of it. Nuphy Halo 75: Should you buy this?Weighing a meagre 690g, the Yoga Book is barely heavier than your standard notebook. It’s a delight to hold and bend round, and its tiny 9.6mm aluminium magnesium-alloy chassis (which tapers down to a mere 4.05mm on the screen side) is a real beauty. You’d expect no less from the world’s thinnest hybrid, but it’s the keyboard that really makes the Yoga Book stand out. Some of these games only feature limited support, which means they might only work with keyboard or mouse, or might also require a controller to progress through the menus.
