    Does the job but too dark without the RBG lighting

    Does the job but too dark without the RBG lighting
    I'm the kind of person who is a tech enthusiast but dislikes RGB lighting. I find it distracting and unpleasant. With this keyboard, it is especially horrible - no matter how you configure it on the software, the lighting is always significantly brighter in the gaps between the keys than in the lettering of the keys themselves. Yours eyes get blinded by the gap lighting and make it difficult to see the actual key names. Additionally, if you configure the color to be static, but then exit the software, it will start cycling the colors until you start the software again, even though the keyboard remembers the brightness level you set without the software.It is trivial to turn off RGB for this keyboard, but once you do so, you realize the lettering on the keys is almost the same color as the keys themselves. The contrast is so low I often find it difficult to tell what keys I am pressing. I did not have this problem with my previous non-RGB keyboard. My choices are now to get a desk lamp or to turn the RGB back on. Seriously, look at the picture I've attached, can you read the lettering? I can't. I have tried fiddling with the RGB settings to find settings that don't bother me as much but it's proven rather difficult to find anything of the sort.Also, the software lets you rebind keys, but these rebinds don't save to the keyboard itself - you have to have the software running for the rebinds to stay. I tried unbinding caps lock, and it works, but as soon as you close the software it stops working and caps lock starts ruining my day again. I don't like having background processes intercepting my keystrokes, so I've given up on this functionality.On the positive side, it is quieter than my old keyboard, but still louder than I'd like. I suppose when it comes to mechanical keyboards in this price range though it's difficult to find quieter.

    Love it. Got mine for about 45.00. Packed well. Looks and feels great. Responsive. Tons of options. Media Key funtionality using the Function key. Beautiful and Highly customizable RGB, I mean gorgous, vivid and bright.

    Pros-

    Great price at around 50.00
    Quiet.
    Waterproof/Woops Proof.
    Length of cord is good.
    Easy to set up and adjust RGB
    Media Keys thru Function key modifier or if you get V2 of this keyboard, theyre included over number pad.
    Feels and looks nice
    Built well and solid, feels solid. Its Plastic, but it feels quality, most certainly does not feel cheap.
    Has legs so you can tilt it if you prefer

    Cons-

    The finish- It looks nice, but it will certainly pick up fingerprints and oil, so youre gonna need to wipe it on occassion.

    So yeah, Im Very happy with this. I got the Cynosa V 1. At or close to 50.00, I strongly feel this is an amazing Keyboard with amazing RGB. You would be hard pressed to do better. Highly recommend.

    Gaming with it feels great. Typing on it also feels great. I have bigger fingers, im a tall gal, zero issues typying.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2018
    Size: KeyboardStyle: Cynosa ChromaVerified Purchase
    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, didn't 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 doesn't 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, it's 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: I've 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!

    Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2018
    Size: KeyboardStyle: Cynosa ChromaVerified Purchase
    I have a love/hate releationship with Razer products. I will stay away from any laptops/tablets that they make going into the future and have a KOTOR headset that has barely worked out of the box and now has no support because it's been discontinued. HOWEVER, their mice and keyboards are my pride and joy. This is my second Razer keyboard and my first Chroma product. I also have 3 different Razer mice and I'm looking at buying the new version of the Naga. I am not a fan of mechanical keyboards at all, so to find an affordable membrane keyboard with the extra LED effects was a no-brainer purchase for me. It's still a little louder than I generally like from other chiclet keyboards that I prefer (Razer Deathstalker Expert), but I got this mainly for my kids to learn how to type on so the chunky keys were a must. The amount of customization and effects that you can program on this thing are amazing and the software makes it relatively easy. Unfortunately, the Synapse 3.0 is still in beta so it has some quirks. Certain layers don't always like to load on my Chroma lighting setup, I can't add older devices from the Synapse 2.0 era to manage in 3.0 so I have two different Synapse programs installed and running at the same time. My biggest issue to date is that it does not seem to allow multiple instances of the same program to run across different user accounts on Windows 10. Allow me to explain: I have a Win10 PC setup with my account and two children accounts (microsoft accounts). Each of our accounts has our own Razer Synapse account associated with different emails. If I boot up and log in to any one of the three accounts, the Chroma profile works just fine and all lights are as I programmed them to be. However, if I remain logged in but lock one user account and log in with another, it will not allow Synapse 3.0 to open and load my Chroma profile associated to that account unless I go back and log out of the first account OR close Synapse 3.0. There is also quite a bit of bleed between colors that are next to each other. Would be nice to have an option to turn off the outlining LEDs and just have backlit keys so I can have a yellow key next to an orange key next to a red key and be able to visually tell the difference. As it stands, I have to separate like colors strategically to give my kids a good visible template for learning touch typing. I am still giving this a 5-star rating because it works as advertised and my two gripes are minor gripes and I have found workarounds (log out instead of locking account/separate like colors on my keyboard layouts), but I would definitely like to see improvements made on these aspects over time as they continue to improve the Synapse software.

    UPDATE: The issue with switching between user accounts has resolved itself. :)

    5.0 out of 5 stars Why can't typing be fun? (Hint: It CAN!)

    I type for several hours every day, so my keyboards get used a lot. When my most recent, cheap "came with the computer" type keyboard started wearing out, I decided I was tired of buying cheap ones that I had to constantly replace. Since it's something I use so much, I decided to look for something a bit more fun, and this is it. It has several settings so you can pick a single color, a range of colors for it to cycle through, or one of several neat effects. You can even layer different effects to maximize the personalization.

    I set mine to slowly cycle through selected colors: blues, purple, and magenta, then added a ripple effect so that each time I press a key, a rainbow ripples out from that key to the edges of the keyboard. It's a bit distracting, but oh, so satisfying! It makes me smile, and that encourages me to keep on typing.

    I already know that if it's made by Razer, it's great quality. It's a good, solid unit, with great construction. Sure, it's got other great features for gamers - Easy macro recording, useful hotkeys, and the like. But even if you don't have time to game these days, this is a fun splurge for your office!

    I have been using this keyboard for 3 years now and its a good keyboard, responsive and durable.

    I use it for work from home everyday 8 Hours minimum a day and its like new.

    I have not have any issues with the keys not working or malfunction, it does the work and it feels way better than the super cheap ones out there.

    I think its a great keyboard for the 60 dollars that I paid for it.

    The RGB its really bright, I have it set it up to 30% because its really bright and you have a ton of options for customization.

    Although a huge gamer i wanted a backlit keyboard. Went middle of the road and it's a great keyboard. Very standard layout, very natural to use, quality built with full colour and brightness range. No regrets.

    Excelente compra. Não me arrependo. Comprei para jogar COD warzone e estou completamente fascinado. O teclado é de membrana, mas isso não fez a menor diferença no multiplayer. A diferença no tempo de resposta em relação a um teclado mecânico é impercetível. Sim, vc pode comprar teclados mais baratos, mas acredito que esse valeu a pena pela soma de fatores: ruído das teclas muito baixo; acabamento de primeira; luzes que auxiliam na digitação e dão um visual maneiro e, por fim, um excelente tempo de resposta. Vale a pena em minha opinião.

    Este es el primer teclado Razer que he comprado y me gustó. Es bastante cómodo de usar, la cantidad de efectos de Chroma que se le pueden poner o el hecho de que puedes configurar macros para hacer diferentes acciones más rápido está súper bien.

    Mi única queja (y ahí es culpa mía) es que el teclado no tiene la distribución en español, por lo que si no estás acostumbrado a esto, mejor busca que sí se tenga esta distribución. Si esto no te molesta, es nomás acostumbrarse a que aunque las teclas digan algo, van a poner otra cosa a la hora de escribir pero pues igual puedes configurar el teclado desde tu sistema operativo para que funcione como quieras.

    No menciono si teclear es bastante ruidoso porque no me fijo en esas cosas, sólo sé que las teclas como tal no se traban, son bastante precisas y me permiten escribir rápido cuando se necesita.

    Dado que las teclas tienen espacios alrededor para que se pueda ver la luz, es recomendable limpiar el teclado con aire comprimido para sacar el polvo y demás cosas que le entren.
