Keyboards always seem like a pretty easy device to get right, as long as you can type on them they’re good to use. However, the Razer Deathstalker V2 Pro showed me what a premium quality keyboard can add to your desktop setup.
Razer’s latest ultra-thin ergonomic wireless keyboard not only proves to be comfortable for typing, be it for work or gaming, but it has a number of features that make it much more practical to use and personalize to your liking. At RM 879, it’s a bit on the expensive side, but I can deny that the high quality makes it worth checking out at the very least.
Design
Razer Deathstalker V2 pro is a low-profile keyboard, which means that the keys are shorter in height and the switches have a short travel time. In terms of design, the device has a very standard look for a keyboard, in the color black but with a nice aluminum top case for protection. It also has two adjustable legs that are 6o and 9o which offers pretty good options for those who prefer to type at an angle.
In addition to being a full-sized keyboard, the Deathstalker also has dedicated media keys in the top right corner. The media keys have two buttons: the first is the long one that can be used to adjust your computer’s volume, and the other is the play, pause, previous, and forward buttons. If you’re listening to a song and want to go to another song, you can do that by pressing a button three times.
In addition, you can connect the keyboard in three different ways: HyperSpeed, Bluetooth and wired. With the HyperSpeed connection, the keyboard has a dongle that you have to connect to your computer. The other two options are self-explanatory: connect it to your computer’s Bluetooth capabilities or connect it directly to the PC via the USB port.
I really like the high level of functionality and options that the Deathstalker V2 Pro offers. The media keys make playing music or movies less of a hassle and offering three different connection ports is a nice touch, allowing people to connect the keyboard in a way that suits them.
Typing
For the typing experience, the Deathstalkers V2 Pro is a comfortable keyboard with well-sized buttons and a good distance between each of them. I admit it doesn’t have as much pressure as a mechanical keyboard, which can be distracting when gaming. But after a few rounds of Valorant, I got quite used to it and played fine.
While the Deathstalker V2 Pro may look like your regular black keyboard, turning it on also reveals the Razer trademark RGB lighting under each key. You can change and adjust the RGB using the Razer Synapse software with over 10 effects it can use including Static, Wave and Fire. These really make the keyboard shine while not being too bright to be annoying. While I’m not the biggest fan of RGB, the various effects have an almost mesmerizing effect quality that can help make the late next gaming sessions a more immersive experience.
Battery
Another major strength of the Deathstalker V2 Pro is its battery life. The keyboard can work for 40 hours straight with its RGB brightness of 50%. Chances are, most people won’t be using a keyboard without a way to charge it nearby, so it’s safe to say that when you’re using this machine, battery life isn’t something you’re concerned about. need to make about
You can also easily check the battery life of the keyboard above the arrow keys. It’s a small feature, but again, the show is how useful the Deathstalker can be.
Razer Synapse
It wouldn’t be a Razer product without their Razer Synapse software. This allows you to fully adjust the lighting and power of the keyboard.
For the customization tabs, you have three ways to take over the keyboard. The first is Gaming Mode which disables some keys such as Windows key, Menu key, Alt + Tab and Alt + F4. Personally, I find this very useful because I always accidentally press Windows keys.
The next tab is the Hyperspeed multi-device link. For this you need other Razer products that have the same function. You can connect all your Razer products with just one dongle. It’s quite useful if you have multiple Razer devices that cut down on your computer’s cables and connections.
Finally, there is the lighting tab where you can set the brightness of the RGB lighting from 0 to 100. You can also turn off the RGB light when the computer or laptop is in sleep or idle mode. These are pretty obvious, but there’s a lot more you can do with RGB than lower the brightness.
Effects
Razer Synapse is also where you can customize RGB lighting effects with Chroma Studio. Here you can choose quick or advanced effects. For the quick effects, there are many basic effects you can use, such as solid, fire, or breath, which makes the keyboard feel more alive due to the RGB.
The advanced effects let you customize each light that appears on each key. It is a high degree of customization that allows you to really make the keyboard your own and will no doubt make more aesthetically oriented users very happy.
Opinion
There’s something to be said about a device that just does its job well and allows you to use it the way you want. The Razer Deathstalkers V2 Pro keyboard types comfortably and is incredibly durable. The real bonus, however, are the many little features like the media buttons and RGB lighting that make the keyboard all the more convenient to use and personalize for your setup.
The only real downside to the laptop is that it’s a bit on the pricey side for RM 879. That said, a lot of mechanical or premium keyboards go for about the same price, so I suppose it’s not asking much more than anyone else. also on the market.
Overall, if you’re looking for a high-quality keyboard that gives you easy typing, good gaming, and multiple ways to make this less of a hassle, the Razer Deathstalker will do the job very well.
You can purchase the Razer Deathstalker V2 Pro from Razer’s official website or from select retail partners.
