The lighting is as vibrant as usual, cycling through a spectrum of colour by default when switched on.

The Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro certainly impresses on the front of software and lighting, opting for the tried-and-tested combo of Chroma lighting and Synapse 3 software.

When you do need to charge the DeathStalker V2 Pro, it connects up by USB-C, and from then on, you can use this keyboard as more of a traditional wired offering, if you so wish. This means you’ll be able to get a working week’s worth of gaming in before you need to think about charging it. In testing, the switching was seamless and there was no observable latency in playing games on my PC, especially over Razer’s HyperSpeed technology via USB dongle.Ī quoted 40 hours of battery life here is also on par with the competition, with the Chroma lighting set to half way.

On the bright side, the fact Razer’s low-profile candidate can connect by both the HyperSpeed dongle and Bluetooth is excellent, and having the powers to work on up to 3 devices at once is a godsend for power users, or those who just want to have one keyboard for multiple devices. In testing them out in some rounds of CS:GO, the DealthStalker V2 Pro felt responsive, although I couldn’t help but feel a little let down by its switches.

They aren’t as smooth as the competition, and arguably feel more akin to the older FTSC actuators found in Cherry’s older G81 series of keyboards than full on mechanicals. Where actual MX Low Profiles from Cherry and the GLs from Logitech feel substantial and satisfying to press, the DealthStalker V2 Pro’s Reds feel hollow, and almost ‘wet’ in their keypress. The ones here don’t actually feel too good, to be truthful.

Razer has aimed to go the whole hog with the DealthStalker V2 Pro by bundling it with opto-mechanical linear switches. The main motivation for buying a low-profile gaming keyboard is for its shorter key travel and generally snappier switches.

40 hours of battery life ensures oodles of playtime.

They feel smooth under finger and seem durable, although for such an expensive board, PBT would have been a mark of quality.

The keycaps here aren’t PBT, but made of the cheaper ABS plastics, and are at least laser etched, so those nice legends won’t ever wear off. It’s a good use of the space that you rarely see being used to its full potential. The interface on the top-side of the DeathStalker V2 Pro is at least plentiful with three buttons to swap between devices on the fly, as well as a USB-C port for charging. The deck is quite slim around the edges, meaning it won’t take up as much desk space as a standard full-size keyboard, either. The Razer keyboard looks minimalistic and wouldn’t look out of place in either a gaming den or an office. You won’t find any macro keys here, but there is a simple set of multimedia offerings with a decent-feeling volume wheel and one singular button for controlling media playback. There’s barely anything to tell you it’s a Razer keyboard, with no snake-shaped insignias present – the only real indicator is the small ‘Razer’ lettering beneath the bottom row of keys Nothing about the DealthStalker V2 Pro actually screams that it’s a gaming product, at least when you don’t have the RGB lighting on. There’s no doubt it looks great, with a slim stature and sturdy frame that features no deck flex at all. The Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro is in keeping with the company’s more modern design direction, offering a refined aesthetic compared to some other gaming keyboards out there. The DeathStalker V2 Pro is one of the most expensive gaming boards out there today at $249.99/£249.99, sitting alongside the ROG Claymore II from Asus, and above Logitech’s G915. This all does come at quite the cost, though. The new Razer wireless keyboard is powerful offering with snappy Linear Red low-profile switches, excellent build quality and the usual bonus of Razer’s typically brilliant Chroma lighting. The world of low-profile gaming keyboards is one that’s been growing over the last few years, and Razer has finally chucked its hat into the ever-widening ring with their all-new DeathStalker V2 Pro.
