Razer jumps back into the low-profile keyboard game with the Deathstalker V2 Pro

pcinvasion.com:

There’s a lot that can be said about modern keyboards thanks to the long lists of features manufacturers are able to fit in these days. Ergonomic comfort is something that will always remain important, though. That’s a focus of the Razer Deathstalker V2 Pro RGB gaming keyboard, which is of a rare low-profile design.

This thing is seriously thin, coming in at just 21mm at the front and 26.6mm at the rear. For context, the 2021 Corsair K70 TKL Champion Series I’m typing on is 33mm tall at the front; the low-profile Logitech G915 is 22mm. The point of it all is to improve ergonomics over long use sessions by reducing the tilt angle of your wrists to produce less strain and fatigue. As a writer and someone who spends a lot of time at a keyboard, the importance of ergonomic comfort can’t be understated.

There’s more to this board than just ergonomics. A gaming keyboard has to perform, and Razer claims the Deathstalker V2 Pro does that handily. The specs outline optical switches, which use light to mitigate debounce and improve response times. The actuation points, which applies to how far the switch travels before registering input, is 1.2mm on the linear and 1.5mm for the clicky style. For context, that’s very competitive with other… well, competitive keyboards.

Moving on to the wireless capability, Razer advertises multiple connectivity options. You can operate it via the 2.4 GHz band, Bluetooth, or via USB Type-C wired mode while charging. Razer doesn’t explicitly state the device polling rates (response rate of the system checking for input).

You can also expect all the goodies that come along with enthusiast gaming keyboards. This includes anti-ghosting/N-key rollover to avoid missed keystrokes, onboard memory profiles
