The gaming brand Razer introduced the Razer Joro at the beginning of May 2025, a compact gaming keyboard designed for mobile use. For Mac users, there is an interesting novelty: the Joro is the first keyboard from Razer with Mac keys (or, strictly speaking, with double print). The Razer Joro is almost a perfect replacement for the Magic Keyboard.

Design & workmanship

Typical Razer: The Joro has a simple, completely black design. The body consists of a plastic base and an aluminum cover—where you touch the keyboard most often. This ensures a high-quality typing experience, but also reduces production costs and weight. Weighing only 13.2oz (374g) and with compact dimensions of 11.7 x 4.4 x 0.65 inches (29.8 × 11.2 × 1.65cm), the Joro can be easily stowed away in a MacBook backpack or bag.

The Joro has four rubber feet on the underside, which generally prevent it from slipping on smooth surfaces, but are not adjustable. Like Apple’s Magic Keyboard, the Joro has a fixed angle—the same angle, in fact—that you can’t adjust without jacking up the rear feet with other objects. However, I personally found the angle very comfortable and didn’t feel the need to change it.

The USB-C port for charging and wired operation is located on the back of the Joro—next to it is a switch for switching between wired operation and Bluetooth, or in other words: an on/off switch.

The keys on the Razer Joro are slightly smaller than those on a current MacBook, but still offer enough space for larger hands. They are made of plastic, are laser-engraved and therefore better protected against wear and tear. The key travel is a comfortable 1mm—ideal for fast typing without fatigue.

On the inside, classic scissor switches are used, as found in laptops—including the MacBook. Accordingly, the keystroke is very similar to that of a MacBook and feels precise and familiar.

The big difference lies in the sound: the Joro is noticeably quieter—much more restrained than Apple’s Magic Keyboard and also quieter than the MacBook keyboard itself.

The special feature, as mentioned above, is the double imprint, because the Razer Joro not only comes with Windows keys, but also with Mac keys—very pleasing. There is also optional RGB lighting, “Razer Chroma”, which you can configure in the Razer Synapse software—now also available in the version for macOS.

But be careful: the lighting draws so much power that the battery life suffers noticeably. I would therefore recommend only using it with a cable and not using it with a Bluetooth connection unless you are working or playing in complete darkness.
