Razer BlackWidow V4 X Yellow
Score: 90/100Rankings
The Anne Pro 2 is a compact 60% mechanical keyboard with Bluetooth 5.0, true per-key RGB, and onboard memory, targeting portable gamers and minimal-desk setups.
The BlackWidow V4 X (2023) is a full-size wired keyboard that combines ultra-fast 8000 Hz polling, per-key RGB, six macro keys, and quiet linear Yellow switches with a premium aluminum build. It delivers top-tier performance but is heavy, lacks USB passthrough, and depends on Razer software.

Professional reviewers praise the Anne Pro series for delivering premium-grade features-rigid ABS construction, smooth Gateron switches, vivid RGB lighting, full NKRO and extensive software customization-at a mid-range price, while noting the confusing software shift and lack of ergonomic tweaks.
Everyday users overwhelmingly appreciate the keyboard's compact size, eye-catching RGB, and buttery Gateron switches, but frequently mention the missing battery indicator, short wireless battery life, and learning curve of the 60% layout.
Professional reviewers gave the keyboard a consistent 4.0/5.0, highlighting its fast actuation, high polling rate, robust build, and rich RGB features while noting the slightly hollow case tone and the absence of a USB passthrough.
Everyday users generally praise the keyboard's quiet linear feel, striking RGB lighting, useful macro keys, and comfortable magnetic wrist rest. However, a notable minority report premature key failures, out-of-the-box defects, and dissatisfaction with Razer's support, as well as the typical ABS keycap shine over time.
“Very quiet and smooth for office and gaming use”
“RGB looks stunning, especially with underglow synced to other devices”
“Macro keys are a game-changer for MMOs and productivity”
