RAZER Joro review: Best low-profile BT keyboard?

On-the-go loadout mainstay

Published

on

Who needs a low-profile wireless keyboard? Apparently this writer? And RAZER might have just come up with the best one you can buy right now – the RAZER Joro

The company is marketing it as an on-the-go solution and from our time with the keyboard, that certainly hits the mark. It’s thin, lightweight, has RGB, and even has a dedicated CoPilot button. 

Tale of the tape

RAZER Joro

Some measurements that may be of interest: The keyboard weighs just 374g and is 16.55mm thin. It’s truly as thin and light as it seems. 

Despite its profile, RAZER put in as many keys as they could. It features a function row along with full-size arrow keys.

I already know what you’re thinking. Is the key travel satisfying despite its slim profile? Short answer: Yes. Allow me to elaborate. 

How do the keys feel?

Joro

They’re just alright at first but progressively got better with more usage. Naturally, you’re not going to get deep presses because it is quite thin. But there’s enough travel here that feels really satisfying especially for its profile.

It has about the same travel but not quite the same exact feel as the keyboard from the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 2025 gaming tablet. That’s the closest comparison we can think of from the devices we’ve used recently. 

The upper right corner of the keyboard has the Bluetooth to Wired switch as well as the USB-C port.

In terms of sound, it’s hard for us to describe. We’re not exactly keyboard experts here but we feel it is more thocky than clicky but not as thocky as most keyboards that sound like such. It sits nicely in between but leans more towards a deeper sound. 

The keyboard lays flat on any surface. There’s no option to arrange the incline of the keyboard. It doesn’t have the typical feet you’d find in most keyboards. It does have some rubber stoppers to make sure it stays in place. 

It would have been nice to have that option. Then again, this was made to be low-profile so we suppose that was an intentional decision from Razer. 

Everyday carry and vs other keyboards

Thanks to its profile, the RAZER Joro can easily fit into most everyday carry. It fits perfectly in my midsized daily carry bags like the Alpaka Bravo Tote, Alpaka Elements Tote (M), and the Alpaka Metro Backpack. I tried packing it inside a sling but it was a little too long for that.

It has become a staple in my on-the-go loadout when I expect to do a significant amount of typing. I used it primarily paired with the Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro and it’s a match made in on-the-go work heaven.

I’ve only really used about four to five wireless keyboards. My general preference is certainly more on the low-profile side mostly because I tend to do a lot of typing when I’m outside my home office desk.

The only thicc keyboard I’ve used for a significant amount of time is the Keychron K2 HE. The other ones are the Keychron K3, a foldable one for more mobility, and Apple’s Magic Keyboard. I probably need to try more to gain a better appreciation for these things. But that’s a rabbit hole I’m not willing to dive into too much just yet. 

The RAZER Joro can be paired via Bluetooth with up to 3 devices. Switching between those devices is pretty easy too.

The RAZER Joro profiles most like the Magic Keyboard but it absolutely trumps it in terms of overall features, key travel, and overall keyboard feel. 

Razer Synapse

All the information available pointed to a certain Razer Synapse 4 This software was supposed to be available for further customization of the RAZER Joro. However, as of the time of writing, whenever we tried going to the Synapse 4 download page, the links to download are instead for Synapse 3. 

Further, upon checking the compatible devices list, the RAZER Joro was nowhere to be found. Feeling impatient, we just opted to skip the whole Synapse thing. We were happy with RAZER Joro as it was anyway. 

RGB.

Like most RAZER products, this keyboard does feature RGB lighting. Even without Synapse 4, you can change the colors and adjust the brightness. You’ll likely survive without it. 

Is the RAZER Joro your GadgetMatch? 

The RAZER Joro is the company’s first attempt at a true low-profile keyboard and it is fantastic. Typing feels satisfying despite its slim body. It’s easy to carry around daily and the RGB lighting is actually quite useful in the right situation. 

We’re giving this a Swipe Right since there are many factors to consider before you actually get a wireless keyboard. First of which is – do you really need one? If the answer to that is yes, your next considerations are when, where, and how do you plan to use it. And lastly of course, you have to consider the pricing. 

The RAZER Joro retails for PhP 8,990 / US$ 139.99 / EUR 129.99. That price can probably net you keyboards that have better travel, feel, and customization. But I’m willing to bet, they are not low-profile. So, consider your actual usage before pulling the trigger on a purchase. 

If you’re gonna be moving around a lot and need something that feels better than most keyboards on laptops or you work primarily on tablets and need a keyboard for mobile productivity, then there aren’t many that’s better than the RAZER Joro.

Jackery Explorer 300D: Power and portability in one

Uninterrupted workflows for digital nomads, freelance creatives, more

Published

on

For digital nomads, freelance creatives, and even work-from-home professionals, staying productive on the move means carrying around multiple gadgets, cords, adapters, and power banks to survive the day.

Having to carry such weight, quite literally, is vital for maintaining workflow continuity.

For a more seamless experience and to have just one extra portable device to power all working parts, there’s the Jackery Explorer 300D.

Launched just last month, this grab-and-go offering from Jackery is designed for the modern lifestyle.

It moves away from Jackery’s traditional aesthetic with a sleek, speaker-like form factor. It weighs just 2.5 kilograms and is 64% smaller than standard 300W units in the market.

This ultra-compact size was made possible by a smart engineering choice of swapping bulky traditional AC wall outlets for highly efficient DC-only and USB-C ports —  which also helps eliminate idle power loss.

With a 288Wh capacity, the Jackery Explorer 300D holds enough juice for up to nine power banks.

It can keep a Type-C fast-charging laptop for up to three to four full cycles, a Wi-Fi router alive for hours, and recharge cameras or drone batteries up to five times for a lengthy production day.

For smaller gadgets like smartphones and portable fans, the power station can juice them up for up to 22 times.

It can even charge five devices simultaneously with a total of three USB-C ports, a USB-A port, and a DC 12V car charger port.

All these ensure users are never disconnected, wherever they may set up their mobile office.

Another brilliant touch is the two-in-one shoulder strap that easily unclips to double as a heavy-duty 140W USB-C charging cable.

The everyday carry is available via Lazada and Shopee, and at the official Jackery kiosk in SM Fairview, as well as other partner stores.

Apple is reportedly working on its own gaming controllers

It might launch under the Beats brand.

Published

on

Last week, the iPhone Duo changed how you look at the ubiquitous smartphone. Foldables are in, and Apple is right there with it. But the company isn’t stopping with the foldable segment. Apple is reportedly working on its own branded game controllers.

According to Bloomberg, Apple has been working on a controller since last year. Further, a piece of code linked to macOS 27.4, spotted by MacRumors, includes references to two unknown gaming controllers.

Because Apple just concluded its huge event this month, it will likely be a while before we see confirmation of this controller. And it could be anything. Of course, because the Duo is fresh on our minds, the easiest answer is a mobile controller than can maximize the foldable’s ability to stand by itself. It could also use Apple’s larger screens like the iPad, the MacBook, or the Mac. Some even speculate that this could be Apple’s stronger push into the gaming market.

Outside of the actual hardware, the reports are also claiming that the controller will arrive by way of Beats, rather than from Apple itself. At first, the branding comes off as a surprise, but then again, Beats hasn’t really evolved past an audio brand in a long, long time. Is it time to revitalize Beats as something more than just a peddler of headphones?
