Good evening! Having the keyboard for about a week, I made a review video on Youtube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQ78WB2fWCY
I am writing the following review as my first contact with the Razer keyboard:
Positives:
First of all, I am impressed with the sound of the MOBA switch click, slightly louder than the green ones, easier to press (we're talking 45 instead of 50 Cn). The difference is small, but due to the upgrade with silicone and stabilizers, the click is quite noticeable, whether you press something by mistake or not.
In terms of functionality, it is almost the same as regular mechanical keyboards, you don't notice a difference in usage or pressing, except that these specific ones have a stability in sound and are neither harder nor easier to press, with a slightly different sound...
The 8000 Hz polling rate is useful if you play with 6+ buttons simultaneously (e.g. old Lineage 2 or music in Fl studio) and you will hardly notice any differences if you had 1000 Hz before... it is noticeable because it doesn't have debounce delay.
6 key rollover if you have keyswitch optimization --> typing
N-key (infinite) rollover if you have keyswitch optimization --> gaming
Finally, PBT keycaps - good plastic that will probably last.
Sound dampening material inside the frame - makes it quieter if you press the keys forcefully against the frame.
Negatives:
At least for me, I couldn't fully operate it before downloading the 400Mb Synapse... after setting it up, I wanted to save my settings in the Onboard Profile, which I did, but as soon as I deleted Synapse, the keyboard suffered from Alzheimer's and forgot everything as if it didn't have onboard memory but instead had an online dependency on the software.
This annoyed me a bit because, in the end, the keyboard, although so nice, without the software, it's not even at 8000 Hz, and it doesn't work as you would like it to, independently. For example, if you want to open Razer Synapse every time with Windows and connect to Facebook, I already see a bad way to keep a simple setting to only have red lights!
The wrist rest doesn't have RGB.
The LED indicators are white.
Price... well, objectively it is expensive for what it offers, but it also has several innovations and new technologies that haven't matured yet. However, I would still recommend it as the quality is quite good.
In conclusion: A pretty good keyboard (if you want the software) that really has a lot of competition in this price range, but I believe the imperfections need a V3 to become perfect - that's why I didn't remove a star!
