The Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro is an outstanding gaming keyboard. It has extremely low latency and is very well built. It offers excellent performance and is feature-rich, but it is also incredibly expensive for most people.

A wireless gaming keyboard by Razer, the DeathStalker V2 Pro is a continuation of the DeathStalker family. This model, like earlier ones in the series, has a low-profile design, making it much slimmer than most gaming keyboards. In addition to freshly designed keycaps that Razer claims are harder and less likely to acquire shiny tops than regular ABS keycaps, this updated edition includes dedicated media controls.

Additionally, the Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro features a low-profile variation of the optical, mechanical switches used on Razer’s other high-end gaming keyboards, whereas earlier models used membrane switches similar to those found on most laptop keyboards. Because their newest keyboard, the DeathStalker V2 Pro, revives a product that vanished years ago, Razer’s marketing division must be out of edgy-sounding reptiles and deadly arthropods.

Given that the DeathStalker use the term “predecessor” very lightly. The Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro is a full-size, low-profile, wireless optical gaming keyboard that looks and feels absolutely nothing like its predecessor. The original DeathStalkers from Razer were membrane keyboards with chiclet-style keys; and suppose the new DeathStalker V2 Pro continues the line’s very broad concept by being flat.

Perhaps not the narrowest ultra-low-profile gaming keyboard on the market is the Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro. The Logitech G915 Lightspeed, whose gorgeous brushed metal desk and narrow keys together keep it under 25mm, may still hold that distinction. Despite this, it manages to be the lightest optical device, weighing a manageable 776.5g. Despite its slim and light design, the gaming keyboard is well-made.

It has a top panel made of 5052 Aluminum Alloy, a bottom panel made of high-quality plastic, a braided Type-C cable that is detachable, and ABS keycaps that are incredibly robust. For the majority of users, a lifespan rating of 70 million keystrokes represents a lifetime. With Razer’s configurable Chroma RGB, which we found to be more than brilliant enough even in stronger lighting settings, it also looks nice.

The set of three quick-switch buttons that are neatly placed in front is the one aspect of the Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro’s design that we adore the most. This keyboard offers 2.4GHz HyperSpeed wireless, Bluetooth, and USB-C as its three connectivity options. It can connect to three devices concurrently in Bluetooth mode, and the three buttons make it simple to swap between them, which is really cool.

However, if they want the quickest wireless connectivity and simultaneous connectivity to several devices, spending extra money might be worthwhile for certain folks. One of the aforementioned solutions above, however, might be more advantageous to you if they don’t mind being bound to their PC or having a little slower wireless connection that isn’t noticeable to most people anyhow.

The Deathstalker V2 Pro’s wireless connectivity is its key strength. It is possible to simultaneously connect the device to three different Bluetooth devices using a USB dongle or Bluetooth. The keyboard may theoretically be switched between four connections at the touch of a button, such as a desktop, laptop, smartphone, and gaming console. Both the USB and Bluetooth connections are faultless, though pairing the Bluetooth device for the first time can be a hassle.

The Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro has low-profile key switches, in contrast to some of the company’s larger keyboards. You can choose between the Razer Clicky Low-Profile Optical Switch and the Razer Linear Low-Profile Optical Switch, which resembles a Cherry MX Red (which is kind of like a Cherry MX Blue). Although the Linear variant we reviewed cannot be mistaken for a genuine Cherry switch, we still found the feel to be satisfying.

Even throughout extended periods of gaming or typing, the switch’s gentle, sensitive touch is comfortable. We used the DeathStalker V2 Pro to type 111 words per minute with 97% accuracy on a Typing.com test, as opposed to 131 words per minute with 99% accuracy on my regular Logitech G915. It’s a big difference, but we type a little slower on linear keys and much more familiar with the G915. The DeathStalker V2 Pro can enable some very quick typing on its own.

Numerous customization options are available, including the ability to change the RGB lighting, attach macros to any key, and reassign keys. A “Game Mode” feature that disables Alt+Tab or Alt+F4 commands can also be enabled, and you can designate a Hypershift button to activate a second layer of programmable keys. Red Green Blue, or RGB, is an abbreviation that basically signifies a gadget can produce colored lights rather than just white light.

It can frequently be found on gaming keyboards and mice. At least when the RGB lighting is off, the DeathStalker V2 Pro actually shouts that it is a gaming gadget. The only real indication that it’s a Razer keyboard is the little ‘Razer’ wording beneath the bottom row of keys, as there are no snake-shaped insignias on it.

As usual, Razer Synapse software powers all peripherals bearing the triple snakehead emblem. You can download an optional piece of equipment that will allow you to customize your keyboard and check your battery life. This applies to lighting, macros, and power settings. If you want to get the most battery life possible, we especially advise turning on the “dim lighting” option.

Although practically anything may be customized using Bluetooth, Razer warns that cable or 2.4GHz connections are the only options for complete Chroma RGB capability. However, the Deathstalker V2 Pro will remember any customizations you make, whether you use one of the three on-board profiles you can take with you wherever you go or one of the several internet profiles stored in the cloud. The way Synapse just shifted to a “module” approach.

This allows you to separate your devices and download only the parts of the software you intend to use, instead of filling it with features you will never use. Unfortunately, it is still not the most stable application. We often have problems getting Deathstalker V2 Pro to appear. The module often fails and crashes to a loading screen after the device starts. Despite Synapse’s problems, the keyboard still works perfectly; however, when it does, it can be difficult to customize or monitor battery life.

A low-profile gaming keyboard is primarily chosen for its shorter key travel and typically snappier switches. With the DealthStalker V2 Pro, Razer has attempted to go all out by including opto-mechanical linear switches. To be honest, the ones here don’t feel all that great. The DeathStalker V2 Pro Red keys appear hollow and almost “wet” in their keypress, in contrast to true Cherry MX Low Profile keys and Logitech GL keys, which feel substantial and gratifying to press.

They don’t feel as smooth as the competition, and compared to genuine mechanical keyboards, they may feel more like Cherry’s older G81 series keyboards with FTSC actuators. The DeathStalker V2 Pro seemed responsive during some CS:GO testing. On the other side, the fact that Razer’s low-profile contender can connect through Bluetooth and the HyperSpeed dongle is fantastic, and the ability to function on up to three devices simultaneously is a godsend for power users or those who simply want one keyboard for several devices.

During testing, when switching between games on our PC, particularly using Razer’s HyperSpeed technology via the USB dongle, there was no discernible lag. With Chroma lighting set to half, the claimed battery life of 40 hours is competitive with the competition. This means that it is possible to play video games for a working week without having to worry about recharging. The DeathStalker V2 Pro connects via USB-C when it needs to be recharged, after which you can use it as a regular wired keyboard.

The DeathStalker V2 Pro offers three connection options: 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.0 and wired (via USB-C). Connect via the 2.4 GHz wireless connection, which includes Razer’s “industry-leading” HyperSpeed wireless technology that Razer says is 25 percent faster than any other wireless technology, if you want to play games or do anything else where latency and lag are an issue. With the multi-device HyperSpeed feature supported by Razer’s HyperSpeed wireless technology, the DeathStalker V2 Pro’s USB-A dongle can support two compatible Razer peripherals at the same time.

For what it is, Razer claims truly amazing battery life. With HyperSpeed you can expect about 45 hours of battery life at 50% keyboard brightness, and if you use it for about 6 hours a day, you will only need to recharge it once every two weeks or so. However, if you are like us and want maximum battery life, turn off all RGB and you will get almost 200 hours of use on a single charge. The keyboard can easily last a month if you use it for six hours a day.

One of those amazing products that pretty much does everything perfectly is the Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro. It has a wonderful appearance, excellent functionality, and a tonne of helpful bells and whistles. Only the $250 price may be a turnoff, but that really depends on how much you want to pay and whether you actually need a wireless keyboard. In terms of direct rivals, we still lean somewhat in favor of the Logitech G915, purely due to my preference for the key switches.
