Comment

Wonderful keyboard! I have had it for over a month, and I use it for gaming and lots of writing. It works great for all standard functions. Pros -Fantastic price -Gorgeous lighting (backlit with strong colors and completely adjustable with total customization) -Soft clicks, very quiet for a keyboard -Zero issues with any of the keys or ghosting, which I what I would expect from a gaming keyboard -Sturdy feeling, yet not too heavy -Adjustable feet to suit the height of your hand. Very comfortable even for long periods of use. Cons (all minor) -For a while, the backspace and space bar squeaked when pressed occasionally. It was not very noticeable, didnt interfere with any of the functions, and disappeared after a few weeks. Only reason I am including it is because it did irk the perfectionist in me. -Occasionally the driver doesnt boot up right, so the keyboard lights either turn off or revert to standard lighting. Easily fixed by opening the Synapse driver program. -The customization driver could be more user-friendly. Once you get the hang of it, its fun to mess around with! Overall a fantastic keyboard for the budget. I wanted something that would work with my gaming, but also not be obnoxiously loud as I do a lot of typing. The Cynosa Chroma checks all of my requirements, and looks epic! UPDATE 2/2019: Ive now had this keyboard for a year and would not trade it for anything else. It still runs like a dream with absolutely zero issues. The lighting remains strong and no keys have needed replacing/repairing. I would give it 6 stars if possible!

I am old school and grew up playing games on a membrane keyboard. I decided to make the switch to mechanical keyboards a year ago using the Corsair K70 LUX with red swtiches. I love that keyboard but I found myself missing the feel of membrane keys. I decided to give this keyboard a shot and immediately fell in love with it. It has a soft feel and the key presses are very quiet compared to mechanical switches. This has a 1000hz polling rate too making it very responsive. I have been using this for a little while now and it has become my daily driver. Excellent membrane key based keyboard!

Rock sold keyboard. Love the feel of the keys and sound of them. Lighting is awesome too. Not a RGB fan at all, but its nice to be able to have the KB lights the same as my mouse. :UPDATE: After less then a month of use, i had to return my KB for another one. Nothing major, but 2 keys started to get a real high pitched squeaking noise to the backspace and left shift. I had no issue whats so ever getting a new one.

The keyboard itself is excellent. The build quality is great, the RGB is awesome, and the fact that it is per key assignable is great! However, the Razer software isnt great, not necessarily the fault of the keyboard itself, but is necessary for the RGB to function. That leads me to the next aspect I dislike, the software has to be running on the PC in order for the RGB effects to work. Otherwise it defaults to a lame color cycle effect. Desipte those things I really shouldnt complain because for the price this is a excellent keyboard. I dont game, but I did want a cool looking keyboard that I could use everyday. They keys arent super loud, which was a must for me living in a apartment, but yet they do make a satisfying clicking noise. Overall Id buy it again, and im sure with software updates the software issues can be worked out.

I have to say, before I would have given this a 5 star rating, but for some reason my keyboard would stop working, first it was the spacebar and then the rest of the keys, but as soon as it unplugged it and plugged it back in it would work again but only for about 10 minutes. Besides that the lighting is amazing and the Razer software lets you do a ton of customization! However, I now have a Corsair k68 keyboard and I have to say wow the keyboard is amazing, the keys are so satisfying to type on. The razer keyboard while being fine is not as good, especially after using these. If you have never used a mechanical keyboard the razer will be amazing, but if you have used a mechanical keyboard the corsair cherry switches will be so much better and the Razer keyboard is a 2/5 at that point.

I really enjoy using this Razer keyboard and I am actually typing on it now as I write this review. Its very comfortable and the adjustable feet let you pick a preferable height. The keys are comfortable and satisfying to press and are perfect for those who want a clicky feeling without creating too much noise. The colors are vibrant and the effects are beautiful to look at. My only issue is that the lights are under a white barrier which creates a mixture of colors if there are two different colored keys next to each other. This makes it hard to make preset designs for certain games as the specific keys you want to stand out, dont stand out as much as they should. Besides this, the keyboard is excellent. The response time is great, and Ive had 0 problems when typing.

Im rewriting my review because i bought this keyboard brand new and the shift button on this keyboard was very iffy to begin but i shrugged it off because it was at least working. But now it just plainly does not work. I have to get a new keyboard due to this

This is my third Razer keyboard, and is my favorite so far. I had the V2 with the quiet keys and I did not like it, gave it away. This one is much quieter, and the entire key lights up, not just the bottom one. I dont miss the extra keys on the V2 because I never really knew what to do with them. These keys seem as responsive to me as the V2 and when I type fast, I do not scare the dog.
