Pros & Cons
Pros
Razer synapse, the software you'll need to access a lot of lighting features, is a mixed bag. One of the coolest features is the custom lighting profiles you get when you play certain games. I like the addition of the volume control *, having it enabl... Read More
I feel like this is also good for typing as my hands feel less fatigued. There was no mistreatment of this keyboard.
I have to commend razer for that. The feel is just right and i use the back risers for angle and the wrist rest. The lighting of the keyboard for me is overkill, but it lights up very well.

Highlights
Quality

If youre coming from a membrane keyboard or a softer linear mechanical switch once you get used to the actuation force of these keycaps it takes a few minutes for most people your typing speed will go back to normal
