Razer DeathStalker Chroma - Multi-Color RGB Membrane Gaming Keyboard (RZ03-01500100-R3U1)

I have been using the Razer DeathStalker Expert keyboard for a week now, and I am really starting to enjoy and appreciate it. My previous keyboard of 6 years is the Logitech G11, which I bought twice after a nasty liquid-related accident with the first one.I wanted a replacement after the blue backlight began to dim on the G11 (use at night was a major driver for me) and was consistently directed to the Razer by searches and the reviews I read, which speaks volumes about the company and this product.Users of the keyboard clearly love it, their happy reviews swayed me to buy it on Amazon and it is a great piece of kit to own! I love the backlighting, it is bright green and stands out like a sore thumb - which is awesome in the dark, and has application even during the day to highlight keys just that faint amount. My typing accuracy and speed has improved over the G11 mechanical keys. I am still getting used to applying the right amount of pressure when typing, it clearly takes time to adjust to the chiclet style keys. However, the rebound after depressing the key seems to cue me to type the next letter and by "bouncing" my finger off. This speeds up typing noticeably, while the clear lettering and key spacing makes for confident key presses. Less hunt, more peck.It's a solid, sleek-looking high quality item, it feels less plasticky than my G11. The way it's designed gives me better tactile feedback about the key location and where my fingers are - very useful for productivity while typing, and while gaming. The time saved = more bullets on target if you're a regular gamer. I feel the benefit in Star Citizen with better control of my ship functions through quicker response. (I recognised it all lit up on Chris Roberts' desk during "10 For The Chairman", it looks awesome!)It's surprisingly small and low profile, pleasingly attractive and awesomely eye catching when it's lit up. I haven't used the Synapse software yet, but look forward to giving it a try - as well as the on-the-fly macro feature. The audio and media functions are easily accessible and due to it's design simplicity the functions are a snap to find and operate.I'm pleased so far with this keyboard, and recommend it to anyone on the fence about a new keyboard. It's an excellent upgrade.

This keyboard is fantastic, light years better than the standard apple keyboard.What I Like:1. Chicklet key type, I love this, although was concerned that they won't give a confident click back like a mechanical keyboard.2. Key feedback, the keys aren't quite as pronounced in their click feel as they would on a mechanical, however, it's a twice as powerful as the Apple keyboards.3. Mac compatibility, it works fine with osx Mavericks, although there is some difficulty remapping the scroll and numlock keys, but if you don't use these, it's not a problem. On that note, remapping keys otherwise is remarkably easy, swapped the cmd and alt keys with ease.4. Appearance, must I say more? It looks sick, the light is bright but not blinding, and has adjustable brightness with a plethora of levels in case 47.2% is too dark and 47.4% is too bright.5. Key spacing, there is a little more space between keys, so it works great with my giant hands.What I don't Like: (nothing worth removing the 5 star rating)1. Finish, the plastic material is certainly the kind that will start to get stains over time from natural body oils.2. The size, keep in mind this is a full size keyboard with numpad, but there is a bit of wasted space that could shave a couple inches off.3. Synapse 2.0 registration, you have to make multiple accounts, and verify your email before using it. But it won't tell you to verify, it's just going to assume you know that...Overall, it's a great keyboard and I'm more than willing to make a rating on the first day I've had it. It feels great, looks great and works great. I guess this means I'm part of the Razer cult now :)

--Review of Razer Deathstalker expert gaming keyboard--This is a pretty neat keyboard. The keys are so smooth. I am coming from a Logitech MK320 so I am getting used to the tactile feel of the chiclet keyboard.Everything about the keyboard feels solid and with a good build. While typing the keyboard sticks to my desk so it doesn't move at all (neither did any of my keyboards not that I think of it).Keystrokes noise is a bit louder but fades quick with each stroke.I haven't used the software that came with but windows 10 x64 pro (ver 1607) did download and ask to install once I plugged in the USB connector. Speaking of USB, the cable is plenty long and a good thickness.I love the palm wrest. It makes typing very comfortable when compared to the Logitech MK320.The green light is perfect and not overly bright. I can find the key I want while playing BF4 in the dark.I don't have any humming noise like other have mentioned.My only complaint is I wish it came with a blue led light as my computer has a blue led fan. I guess I can change out my fan to green to match.FYI: Purchased from local retail store that starts with a W. They had 2 boxes. One that says windows 7 compatible and one that says windows 8 compatible. I went with the newer box that said windows 8 certified.I hope the coating on the keys doesn't wear. I know this is a membrane keyboard but I don't like mechanical.
