Razer DeathStalker V2 Gaming Keyboard: Low-Profile Optical Switches - Linear Red - Ultra-Durable Coated Keycaps - Durable Aluminum Top Plate - Multi-Function Roller and Media Button - Chroma RGB

I've been using full mechanical keyboards for years now, but after I got a new job with a nicer laptop I realized that I type SIGNIFICANTLY faster on anything low-profile. I actually initially got the Logitech G915 because it was a lot cheaper due to a sale, but I've always been a fan of Razer and that just proved why. The keyboard and mouse just felt worse and cheap, and it really didn't seem like an improvement from the keyboard that I already wasn't that happy with. I finally bought this and it is absolutely AMAZING. The keycaps themselves feel great, the clicks are satisfying with a nice, low drumming noise. I haven't had a single issue with the keyboard and I've gotten to 200wpm using it now. I do a lot of programming and honestly this does help, my only wish is that they had more media keys, but the keyboard is small enough that I can see why it wouldn't.

Was looking for a keyboard to replace my razer lycosa, but wanted something thin and not too noisy. Was hesitating between this and the g815 from logitech (which looks to be a cheaper version then the g915). But a lot of reviews gave the razer deathstalker v2 an advantage. Im pretty happy with this. The keys are very smooth and silent on press. And the fact that this one has cherry style keycaps that can be replace comparede to the g815/g915 is great. USB-c port is a plus, even though the position of it is a bit akward for me… the cable sticks up, because i use the stands at the bottom of keyboard to raise it a bit.

I had the original DeathStalker for probably 10 years or more, but alas too many spilt drinks and keys were no longer responding right. Ah well. The DS v2 is actually better. Best keyboard I ever had. Maybe a gimmick but I was delighted when playing CP2077 the first time I tried to hack a terminal. The keyboard back lights changed into this trippy matrix scrawling pattern that sort of matched the hacking session in the game. Not needed but kinda fun.

I am replacing a Razer Huntsman Elite and this isn't in the same ballpark. I'm going to return it. So disappointed.

If you are wondering if this actually improved on the G815/915 series in the really important ways, then yes it did. In fact you might probably not keep the G815/915 after trying this one out. The biggest thing is that the keys do not rattle like they do on the Logitech, meaning they are stable, and held in to the switch and do not create annoying noise whenever you touch the key. The other is that the switches do indeed feel better to type on. So from a typing perspective this wins hands down. I'd say it this board doesn't look like its worth the full price, maybe $50.00 max but in no way its full asking price. The Logitech has a nice brushed look going for it but that's where it ends sadly.
