Everything bout this keulyboard is awesome but unfortunately, while I'm trying to edit my colors, the whole keyboard freezes and I have to restart my pc. It doesn't happen often but just keep that in mind. 4/5

Performs as advertised Keys are very slippery - to the point of causing difficulty in typing (hitting wrong key due to finger ideas slipping across tops of keys). No capability to improve brightness of illuminated keys - eventually they're not vibrant enough.

First entry to gaming keyboard and mouse looks and feels great, kids keep pressing the colour changing buttons everytime i turn around

Razer's rubber-dome/mechanical hybrid switch is more psychological trickery than an actual revolution, but it's trickery that somehow works.

Little mechanical "click" disguises the rubber-dome underpinnings; Stylish and high-end compared to most rubber-dome keyboards; Generously padded...

As expensive as an actual mechanical keyboard; Still a rubber-dome keyboard at its core; with all the rubber-dome problems; Uneven lighting

I ' m not exactly sure why a keyboard manufacturer would want to merge mechanical - and membrane - switch technology; membrane ' s only real advantag e is its low price. Still, the Razer Ornata Chroma ($100) aims for this unusual hybrid, and while the system works fine, it offers neither the...

Good in-game performance; Convenient wrist rest; Pretty RGB lighting

Hybrid keys add nothing; Similarly priced keyboards are better

Razer and its peripherals have often stood as an example of excellence in modern gaming. This level of performance, however, usually comes at a price. The Razer Cynosa Chroma ($59.99) gaming keyboard, however, is an exception. This entry-level model is the second keyboard entry in Razer's "Essential" line, which offers similar performance to some of its more elaborate models, but sheds mechanical switches in favor of membrane or mecha-membrane hybrid designs. These more conventional switch designs lower the price point you might associate with a gaming-grade keyboard, while allowing you to retain the excellent proprietary Razer Synapse software. Bare Essentials The design of the Cynosa Chroma is simple: With the exception of the RGB lighting, from a cursory glance it does little to differentiate itself from a stock-level keyboard. The shallow, recessed keys, similar to the ones on the Razer Ornata Chroma($68.26 at Amazon), are housed in a black plastic chassis, with no additional...

The Razer Cynosa Chroma is a versatile and inexpensive bare-bones entry-level gaming keyboard.

Inexpensive; Whisper-quiet switches; Great RGB options; Synapse 3 client integration

Keys have a slightly mushy response with virtually no haptic feedback; Synapse 3 is still in beta

look wise amazing

Might be pricing comparison

At around the one hundred-pounds mark, any keyboard worth its keys is likely to be equipped with mechanical switches. Razer isn't ignorant of this fact, and the Ornata Chroma addresses the issue with an unusual take on key actuation.

glad i bought this keyboard moving from membrane to mechanical keys makes typing alot more easier. i like the fact that this keyboard doesnt have the extra number keys and saves you space thats why i bought it its more comfortable for gaming my mouse arm doesnt have to reach as far

small; very nice looking; built very well; keys are comfortable to type on and responsive

none; review my YOJIMBO

The Razer Cynosa Chroma is an ideal gaming keyboard for those not willing to break the bank. At just £64.99, programmable macro-lighting and soft, responsive membrane keys make this great for both casual users and hardcore gamers alike

Affordable; Packs plenty of features; Soft; responsive keys; Gorgeous and programmable RBG lighting

Design is relatively tame compared to other keyboards; Plastic frame does feel somewhat cheap
