Bottom Line

A great mechanical keyboard that has many customizable features that gamers and non-gamers alike will appreciate.

Pros

This mechanical keyboard includes a wrist rest and audio-out/mic-in jacks. The backlight colors can be customized for each key and 5 keys are available that can be programmed as macros. Comfortable to use and lasts a long time.

Cons

The software that you have to use to customize the backlight is hard to use and the keys are fairly loud even for a mechanical keyboard.

The wrist rest starts to wear fairly quickly.

    You don’t want an everyday keyboard if you’re a serious computer gamer. Razer has a range of keyboards designed with computer games in mind, with dedicated key switches (Razer-branded clones of Cherry MX switches from multiple manufacturers.) Razer keyboards come in 3 types: mechanical, where there is a distinct clack to the keys; membrane, which is soft and responsive, and mecha membrane, which is a hybrid of the 2. Ergonomic styling makes longer play time possible, as do thoughtful additions like wrist rests. All of them look pretty sleek as well – jet black with some snazzy underlighting behind the keys for a techno effect.
