Razer now offers four peripherals in an unusual, semi-transparent green colour.
A few weeks ago, Razer presented peripherals in green colour. The «Phantom Collection» includes the mouse «Basilisk V3», the mouse pad «Firefly V2 Pro», the keyboard «Blackwidow V4 75%» and the headphones «Barracuda X Chroma». These devices have been around for some time, the only new feature is the transparent green colour. The plastic not only lets light through, but also allows a look inside the devices.
I published a news article about this and some of the comments expressed interest in the green articles. Because we always like to listen to our Community, you can now order them from us. Below is a brief introduction to the devices.
Mouse: «Basilisk V3 Pro 35K»
The «Basilisk V3 Pro 35K» is a wireless gaming mouse with RGB lighting that - as the name suggests - offers a resolution of up to 35,000 DPI. You can connect it via Bluetooth or via the supplied WLAN dongle using 2.4 gigahertz«Hyperspeed Wireless». According to Razer, the battery lasts up to 210 hours depending on the mode and your settings.
Razer advertises the mouse as highly customisable. You can customise the twelve LEDs on the underside. You have 13 programmable buttons at your disposal and you can set whether the mouse wheel can be turned freely or snaps into place tactilely. The Basilisk supports optional wireless charging - for this you need a corresponding charger and a charging module that you insert into the mouse.
Headset: «Barracuda X Chroma»
You connect the gaming headset via Bluetooth or via «Hyperspeed Wireless». The latter has a latency of 20 milliseconds, which is less than the 35 milliseconds of the «Barracuda X». You can switch between the two connection modes at the touch of a button.
The 40-millimetre drivers are designed to provide «exceptional highs, mids and bass» You can customise the six-zone RGB lighting in the Razer software. According to Razer, the battery lasts up to 30 hours with the lighting activated. If you switch the lighting off, it can last up to 70 hours. The omnidirectional microphone is detachable. At 285 grams, the wireless headset is in the lower average weight range. The ear pads are made of memory foam.
Mouse pad: «Firefly V2 Pro»
The «Firefly V2 Pro» is a special kind of mouse pad. It doesn't have an illuminated edge like others, but the entire mouse pad seems to glow through the milky-transparent surface of the pad. I tested the «Firefly V2 Pro» (with black control module) last year . I really like the diffuse RGB lighting.
Keyboard: «Blackwidow V4 75%»
The «Blackwidow V4 75%» is unfortunately only available in «Phantom Green» in the US layout. After enquiring with Razer, we learnt that no other layouts are planned. The delivery time is also unfortunately a little longer.
The 75 per cent keyboard doesn't waste any space with superfluous open areas. While the housing of the black keyboard variant (international layout) is made of aluminium, the «Black Widow» in «Phantom Green» has a translucent plastic housing.
Thanks to hot-swap capability, you can quickly replace the keycaps. Tactile orange switches are fitted as standard, which you can also replace if required. The «Blackwidow» is compatible with three- and five-pole switches.
The RGB lighting illuminates the background of the semi-transparent keys and the lower edges of the keyboard housing. As you might have guessed, the lighting can be synchronised with other Razer RGB devices. The supplied faux leather palm rest can be magnetically attached to the housing.
