Razer BlackWidow V3 TKL Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

The Razer BlackWidow V3 TKL is a wired, tenkeyless gaming keyboard with clicky green mechanical switches, per-key RGB lighting and programmable macros. Its compact layout frees up desk space, but its deliberately audible click and lack of a number pad may not suit every setup.

The listing gives two inconsistent dimension values: 36.2L x 15.5W x 4.1H centimetres and 36.22 x 15.49 x 4.11 cm; 839.15 g. It also lists weight separately as 839 g, so the exact dimensions and weight are unconfirmed. The title calls the switches green and clicky, while the details field only specifies tactile switches. Confirm the configuration and dimensions for the selected listing.
