    Customers like the comfort of the keyboard. They mention that the keyboard itself feels great, the switches have a better feeling than Logitech tactile switches, and the typing feel is pretty good.

    16 customers mention12 positive4 negative

    Customers like the appearance of the keyboard. They say it looks great, the colors are awesome to look at, and the low-profile design makes it more comfortable to use. Some appreciate the quality of the keycaps and the significant improvement in the quality and quantity of RGB lighting.

    10 customers mention7 positive3 negative

    Customers like the noise of the keyboard. For example, they say it's much quieter than their Steelseries, has a nice sound, and is perfect for home use. Some mention that the keyboard sounds like a typewriter. That said, most are happy with the product's noise level and the ability to mute or unmute the keys.

    "...Turn off any RGB for a professional clean look. The silent keys are perfect for home use yet quick enough for gaming. Even being a “low profile”...." Read more

    19 customers mention11 positive8 negative

    Customers are mixed about the performance of the keyboard. Some mention that it performs amazing both on Windows and MacOS, while others say that it stops working properly after a couple of months, with some buttons stopping working. The included dongle was non-functional, and the Razer Synapse no longer works with Windows 8.1. The RGB is faulty and defective after short time.

    15 customers mention9 positive6 negative

    Customers are mixed about the latency of the keyboard. Some mention that it has a fast response, is perfect for home use, and is quick enough for gaming. However, others say that it lags and displays random lighting. Some customers also mention that the linear switches are so fast that they just have to tap a key, not that the keyboard stutters on the 2.4 setting.

    "...The silent keys are perfect for home use yet quick enough for gaming. Even being a “low profile”...." Read more

    "...For gaming, I definitely am still not used to it, I feel a bit slower in the game when it comes to my movements and the responsiveness...." Read more

    26 customers mention5 positive21 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the connectivity of the keyboard. They mention that the Bluetooth adapter constantly drops the connection, lagging and displaying random. The wireless has an astonishingly short range and heavily interferes with Logitech wireless mouse. The cable connection will override the connection mode you set it to, and the keyboard consistently disconnects and reconnects forever.

    "...The cable connection will override the connection mode you set it to. Low battery and want to charge it via your desktop while you work on a tablet?..." Read more

    "...My first DSv2 had such limited wireless range that I had to be within about 3 ft of my PC to use it (Bluetooth range was a little better)...." Read more

    Customers are dissatisfied with the value of the keyboard. They mention that the quality control does not match the price, and the parts feel plasticy and cheap.

    "...Quality seems to be good. Usually Razer makes decent keyboard. Price is a little high but any premium keyboard is going to be around his price...." Read more

    "...I love how smooth the reds feel on this as is though. Its a bit expensive but worth it to me...." Read more

    They TOOK the "DeathStalker" name and put it on a 100% DIFFERENT Keyboard...!
    1 Star
    They TOOK the "DeathStalker" name and put it on a 100% DIFFERENT Keyboard...!
    Cons:1. Literally not one single thing of this keyboard is similar to the Original Deathstalker, they just took the name thinking people would think a Low-Profile keyboard is the "same" as a Chiclet one.  Clearly whoever developed this keyboard didn't even look at the original Deathstalker, they come from the big fat junk keys keyboards, and then THINK they've made something good or equivalent.  Well, they didn't.2. Not a Chiclet Keyboard...!  Those of us who liked the v1 DeathStalker primarily like it because it's a Chiclet keyboard.- Short Key Travel- Flat Keys- Tactile Response.In other words, the v1 was perfect for those of us who TYPE, but also wanted a Gaming Keyboard.  However, it wasn't "perfect" because we also wanted a Mechanical/Optical version.3. Key Travel is too great.  This contributes to causing Typing mistakes.4. Activation of the Optical switch was TOO SHORT.  In other words, it's pretty much at the TOP of the keypress, and you end up pressing the keys far further still.  This also causes Typing mistakes.5. The "design" of the keys causes your fingers to "catch" on the keys (while this doesn't occur with the FLAT Chiclet keys), and with the optical switch being so high, this again also causes typing mistakes, cause you brush the pokey "edges" of the keys and end up causing a keypress to occur that you didn't intend to make.6. Keys are all "exposed"...  If you look at the v1 DeathStalker you'll see the "border" of the keyboard actually goes to the "bottom" of the keys.  This protects the keys and makes it more nice and comfortable to use.  See the pic for how the v2 could have been done.7. No Hand/Wrist Rest...  They should have made one, one of Razer's nice soft hand rests specifically for the DeathStalker which is actually one of the "improvements" we wanted for the v1 DeathStalker, a SOFT hand rest instead of the hard one, one that "attaches" with a Magnet and is the SAME LEVEL as the keyboard.  I tried to buy one of their "separately sold" hand rests and it was just "too high".  Though, my preference likely would have been the handrest to be "part" of the keyboard itself like the v1's is, but having a soft one instead, because it's nice when "moving" the keyboard, which is something I often do, especially to eat, that it's all "one piece" instead of having two pieces to move with the keyboard as a separate hand rest would cause.Pros:1. Like having the Wireless option2. Like having all the Multiple Wireless and Bluetooth connections ability.3. Like the Volume Scroll Wheel and Play Button.  Though, not 100% sure it works perfectly?  When I very first tried it it did the wrong things.  Never had an issue with the FN Keypress buttons.  Though, maybe that was just a bug fluke, think I plugged it into my monitor hub and it didn't work right?  Not sure.  But, I would rather have a 100% working volume controller if there are issues with some Video players?Changes that should be made:1. Give us a Chiclet Keyboard, designed like the original DeathStalker but fixing all the above Cons and adding the above Pros.  I don't care if it's a differently named keyboard, I just NEED a Chicklet Keyboard that's Mechanical/Optical and with all the above improvements and new features.  THIS is what we were wanting in v2 of the DeathStalker, NOT a completely different keyboard.2. If you choose to keep the Low-Profile ONLY, then please just improve it according to the above issues.- Make the keyboard Body FLUSH with the bottom of the keys so they aren't exposed per the attached pics as an example.  See v1.  Though I understand the main key section wouldn't have the space for that.- Shorten the Key Travel.- Increase the Activation Travel of the Optical, closer to the bottom, not so High.- If the above two things were fixed, the "pokey edges" of the keys might not be as much of an issue.- Add the Hand Rest to the Keyboard, a SOFT one preferable still attached, though I could live with a properly fitted "attachable" one.  The separate ones you buy are just TOO HIGH.So, I don't know if doing the above would make me want to use this keyboard still...  I STILL might need a "Chicklet" version, but it "might" work.Even a Chiclet Low-Profile one might work?  I don't know, would need to test.  Razer should have made the original DeathStalker, improved as I've indicated.  If they wanted to steal Logitech's keyboard and improve on it, they should have named it something else.  I get why they did, to sound cooler, thinking the Low-Profile would be the most superior keyboard, but it's NOT...  I have nothing against this keyboard existing...  but I'm very unhappy Razer just shafted us DeathStalker users who've been WAITING for a long time now for an improved keyboard like this one, but in the spirit of the original.Literally nobody makes a Chicklet Mechanical/Optical Gaming Keyboard....  What is the problem here with satisfying the needs of your customers?The Big Fat Key keyboards are literally UNUSABLE for some of us...  Razer, I've now returned TWO of your keyboards, this one and the Ornata, because they were unusable for me.  To be fair though, If I was forced to, I could use this one, cause low-profile is as least better than the lower keys of the Ornata, but still, it FAILS the needs of us who NEED Chiclet...​​​​​​​Thank you.

    Even a Chiclet Low-Profile one might work?  I don't know, would need to test.  Razer should have made the original DeathStalker, improved as I've indicated.  If they wanted to steal Logitech's keyboard and improve on it, they should have named it something else.  I get why they did, to sound cooler, thinking the Low-Profile would be the most superior keyboard, but it's NOT...  I have nothing against this keyboard existing...  but I'm very unhappy Razer just shafted us DeathStalker users who've been WAITING for a long time now for an improved keyboard like this one, but in the spirit of the original.

    Literally nobody makes a Chicklet Mechanical/Optical Gaming Keyboard....  What is the problem here with satisfying the needs of your customers?

    The Big Fat Key keyboards are literally UNUSABLE for some of us...  Razer, I've now returned TWO of your keyboards, this one and the Ornata, because they were unusable for me.  To be fair though, If I was forced to, I could use this one, cause low-profile is as least better than the lower keys of the Ornata, but still, it FAILS the needs of us who NEED Chiclet...

    ​​​​​​​Thank you.

    I got it second hand as the original price is too expensive for me. As my old corsair K70 MKII low profile has broken keys (both N and M double clicks), I need a replacement keyboard. This is the only few lower profile TKL mechanical keyboards on the market. Fro similar price, the keycap is definitely nicer on this keyboard compare to Logitech. Also it accept cherry MX keycaps so I can throw my old keycaps on it easily. The optical switch is also hotswappable, but I think Rezer does not sell them individually. Overall I am happy with it, hope the battery last long, or at least is easy to replace myself.
