1. Razer Deathstalker Chroma

Nothing that a wipe can't fix though.Overall Review:Fn button would've been great if added on the left side as well, you can't really adjust volume through keyboard with only one hand.Razer logo in the middle would be nice to light up. Pros:The actual keyboard it's self is great. They keys are spaced well, respond nicely and the ergonomics are good for my large hands.Cons:The chroma software is not the same as if I had purchased the black widow.

The chroma softwear only supports breathing, static, spectrum, and wave. The key component that most people love, ripple, does not work. That means you lose the effect of key striking and getting colors to ripple across the keyboard. This is the reason I purchased this keyboard and was bummed to find out the software does not support this. Razers website doesn't explain this at all.Edit: 9 months later the back lighting dies it I touch the keyboard too hard. The keyboard is on a tray that slides out from the desk and if it jiggles too hard the back lighting dies.

Cannot return out of warranty. Going to look at other brands now.Overall Review:Hopefully software updates in the future will correct this. Maybe a rep can confirm this.see edit.

Pros:LEDs on keyboard are super customizable. Different sections can be different colors or even special effects. There are also a small handful of apps that utilize the keyboard LEDs. My favorite is the one that makes the keyboard light up to the sound of the music coming through the speakers.The keys are very nice. They require a decent firm press, which is nice so you don't accidentally hit the wrong key, especially when gaming, and the spacing and layout is clean and functional.The Razer software has a lot of programming options. Custom shortcuts, macros, etc are easy to set up and use.Overall I love this keyboard. For gaming, some people have very specific things they are looking for such as additional macro keys.

I myself do not want these. This is a professional looking keyboard that looks nice in an office set up or at home at your gaming station. But above all, the COLORS are amazing!

I will definitely buy this keyboard again. 5 Eggs no sweat.Cons:The only thing missing in the software is to switch the F keys to default to volume, play/pause, etc. You could likely do this in the settings manually, but it is a convenience thing I wish was there.

Not nearly enough to deter me from owning this keyboard, it's fantastic.Overall Review:Saw some bad reviews so I needed to chime in. Of course a broken keyboard would be disappointing and needs to be replaced, but this keyboard is great for gamers or for those who want a high quality colorful keyboard. Pros:-Keyboard build exudes quality. It is sturdy, and has an expensive look and feel.-If you like Chiclet-style keyboards, the key feel is true to this type.-Smooth palm rest material allows hands to move freely across the board.-Even RGB lighting, with plenty of effects.-Solid software package, Synapse.-Attentive support from Razer included.Cons:Just one, but fatal for me:-High-pitched whine when lighting enabled.Overall Review:I build near-silent PCs, and noticed a faint, high-pitched whine noise. I'm probably overly sensitive to this, but certainly it was there.

I had just bought a new PSU and GPU, so suspected a coil issue, and tore them out of my PC - no change. After checking countless things, I was playing around with the Synapse software, and temporarily turned off all lighting - BINGO. It could have been just my sample, but it emits a noise when lighting is on. I tested the keyboard on multiple machines, and the same issue. It is faint, and may not be noticeable if you have a louder setup, but it was certainly there on this unit.Razer support was quick to respond, and had me test a few things, but ultimately suggested I RMA the keyboard.

I've opted to return the unit instead. There support was great, and I don't believe there would have been any cost to me with the RMA, which is also nice.I will repeat that the build quality, and quality of materials is impressive. The shape and design is clean, and every element is well thought out. It is a shame to return it.Next, I'm not commenting on whether this key type (Chiclet) is ideal for gaming or not. If you prefer mechanical keys, this is not the board for you of course. Key feel, and general typing is exactly what you'd expect from this type of key switch.One last unrelated bit on the Synapse software. Yes, you must have a Razer account for initial setup, and to ultimately store settings with Razer, but you can certainly put things in offline mode thereafter.

I understand some of the concern around the Internet requirement, but don't believe it is a deal-breaker.
