Razer Cynosa V2 vs Corsair K95

While most of this list covers the best RGB mechanical keyboards that we've tested, our budget option is more straightforward. For the RGB-lover that doesn't want to break the bank, we recommend the Razer Cynosa V2. This simple keyboard uses rubber dome switches, so they're quiet to use and feel comparable to most other basic keyboards. Underneath the keycaps, there's a frosted white plastic plate to keep the colors crisp, well-mixed, and bright

Sure, Corsair has nice lighting software and profiles that are cool, but this just doesn't justify the high cost for a keyboard that will fail in such a short amount of time. It also has poor quality ABS keycaps that have a hollow sound to them and get shiny after just a couple months, but since you can't really change them out easily it just means this thing is going in the trash. Good thing I bought it before the price hikes, because it is just not worth the price.

\*The stock CM feet on past mice have been great after some use and so was this one. Smooth after break-in, but lovely smooth.

At least you get that the case 70 in k70 RGB keyboards. I'Ve had those, since they launched they're still going. You get the longevity and the life ou...

\#1: the keycaps themselves don't appear to be backlit, so only the case of the keyboard glows. It will not help you type in a dark environment. On the other hand, the clear case design looks kinda cool, even if the colors don't animate.

No, this is the K95 RGB *Platinum*, Which is totally different from the other K95 and K95 RGB.. This one *shakes* Has a piece of plastic inside it fro...

Like all Razer peripherals, the Ornata V2 supports Synapse, the company's configuration software. Synapse is one of the best, most robust configuration programs out there for keyboards—you can program and save macros, remap keys, and customize the keyboard's RGB lighting.

But I was committed to giving it as much of a shot as I could. Eventually I got to the point where these issues seemingly disappeared as I got more familiar with the sensitivity of the keys. Zero of these issues affect me now, and I 100% believe these are user error cases. Again, it's easy to dismiss it as a bug, but technically it is user error

* Ideally ergonomic, but more towards plain design, with flat keys and simple aesthetics. I also use it for gaming so I wouldn't like it to be curved or split.

It's a full-size, 104-key device, with an extra six dedicated macro keys at the left edge bringing the total number of keys to 110. The black keys, wrist rest, and just barely gray aluminum top panel restrain the RGB lighting coming through from the switches underneath, but also create strong contrast that makes the colors look especially vibrant. It's a bold look, without stepping over the line to gaudy gamer glam.

) I'm looking for a TKL Keyboard, but I could maybe settle for a 75% keyboard. I want the keyboard base color as black. I want RGB backlight that I can customize in a desktop app. I want Cherry MX Green switches if it comes with them already in great, but I can switch the switches out also

Here's a quick, sound comparison. The lighting on the platinum shares a lot of similarities with the k70 RGB, which we took a look at last year. Corsa...

Very ergonomic and comfortable, my only complaint is the spiral pattern included with the Razer Synapse software made me very disoriented. Solid colors are a must if you plan on giving your undivided attention to any game you may be playing.

The caps-lock key needs to be smaller or designed in such a particular way to keep gamers from accidentally pressing it while gaming.

I am disappointed in the quality of this keyboard. I had high hopes for Razer due to their reputation. Whatever they use to denote the keys is wearing off after only two months of regular use. I reported to Razer and they said this is normal and not covered by the warranty

The keyboard has a solid build, and comes with a comfortable wrist rest that most people should be satisfied with. The doubleshot PBT keys are durable and have a nice feel to them, and the good tactile feedback helps reduce typos, but the keys can feel a bit heavy. Unfortunately, it has limited compatibility on both macOS and Linux systems, but the majority of keys still work on them. Overall, it has a better feel than its predecessor, the Corsair K95 PLATINUM
