Pros & Cons
Pros
I am happy to say that the razer tkl has really impressed me a ton - with just a few caveats. This is the nicest keyboard i have ever touched in my life. It has a definite premium feel to it.
Integrated wrist rest is very nice and makes the keyboard very ergonomic. Why doesn’t this keyboard have a usb pass through, rgb-led around it for under glow and magnetic connector for the wrist rest.
Razer synapse software is very good. The lighting is awesome with help from chroma. The keys are perfect for gaming and even make the ever so desired thocc sound.
Sure, it's not a custom mechanical setup with exotic japanese switches, but it gives a premium enough feel. The optical switches allow a super fast response time, and that combined with linear switches means this should be a beast for gaming.
Cons
On the v2, many keys have non-uniform illumination.
Highlights
Quality
Its very comfortable with the leather rest.
First, the initial build quality of razer products is insane the metal chassis and keycaps feel absolutely premium.
Expected better quality though for the price.
I did have alot of trouble with the software and the customer service is rough, they get back to you quick, but not very helpful.
Price
Price - i wasn't too comfortable with spending that type of cash for a keyboard.
Packaging/appearance
The only thing better on the blackwidow elite is the palm rest.
Competitiveness
Overall this keyboard met my expectations and replaced my steelseries apex pro tkl wireless.
Overall, if you want a competitive edge, with pbt keys that last, with a tkl form-factor, with an optional wrist-rest, don't he... Read More
I also have a steelseries apex pro tkl, and imo, this is a much much better keyboard.
Some of razer's marketing images show bright halos around the keys, and some show none at all.

The wrist rest makes this horrible creaking noise with almost every movement i make with my wrists the stabs are dry and loud lighting on some of the keycaps isnt too great oh and one more thing before i talk about the switches i really dont see a reason why they have stabs

They could have been mx style optical switches like gaterons but its this weird design thats pretty scary to those who are new to mechanical keyboards do not believe what reviewers tell you these keys wobble like any other keyboard

The stabs do absolutely nothing but make more noise for the keypress which brings me to the worst thing about this keyboard the rattle
