It doesn't seem like too long ago that myself and my managing editor Jacob Ridley (yes, two Jacobs—annoying, I know) were arguing over whether there's still a distinction between gaming and enthusiast keyboards. I argued there was still a meaningful distinction, but if anything were to really solidify why I was wrong, it would be this: that gaming keyboards are now starting to come in barebones DIY kits.
The latest of these is the just-announced Razer BlackWidow V4 75% Barebones. Hit 'Start Customizing' and you'll get to choose your body (black or white), your switch (Green, Yellow, or none), and your keycaps (black, white, or none). This means you can choose to have just the body, which costs $130, and then kit it out with your own hot-swappable switches and keycaps of choice.
