Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro Wireless Gaming Keyboard: Low-Profile Optical Switches - Clicky Purple - HyperSpeed Wireless & Bluetooth 5.0 - Up to 200 Hrs - Ultra-Durable Coated Keycaps - RGB - White

This Razer DeathStalker V2 keyboard punches above its profile. I’ve been using the Razer DeathStalker V2 in the white finish for several months. I’m very impressed. This keyboard stand outs. The low‑profile design is fantastic. The keys sit lower than many keyboards. The all white finish gives it the perfect look for the esthetic I was looking for. Beyond the white keyboard, the full RGB backlighting provides bright lighting and a glow that is beautiful and vibrant. I absolutely love this feature. This function can be personalized. The build is high quality. Razor customer service was helpful, if not slightly inconvenient when my initial keyboard stopped working. The reps were helpful and courteous. Having to document issues in a separate portal or risk not seeing replies, was annoying if I am being honest. All-in-all I am happynwith my purchase.

The best keyboard on this size, battery is great for something that small, and you can charge it while using it, it’s lightweight and easy to carry around, the lights on this thing are very cool because it’s white you can have a nice looking setup

Just received this keyboard in TKL linear after using the Logitech g915 tkl tactile for a week. Pros: Keycaps/switches are sturdier and more stable without rattle like logitech. Keycaps do not absolutely soak up oil like the logitech g915 model. On logitech, the keycaps would become oily within .1 second of touching them. These feel better and have more of a textured matte feel that don't get as dirty as quickly. Switches have a better feeling than Logitech tactile despite being linear somehow. Scroll wheel for volume had steps and feels more tactile/responsive than logitech's freescrolling wheel. More compact and professional looking. USB-C vs micro USB on Logitech. Connect to up to 3 Bluetooth devices vs just one on Logitech. Cons: Cannot connect to Bluetooth devices while the keyboard is charging. (WHY?) Worse battery life. (Haven't tested the exact length of the battery life for myself but Razer's battery life will be worse because its using optical switches which have light beams that need more power than Logitech's. I have heard that the TKL version has better battery life than the Full-size version just because of having less keys/using less power as a result.) I personally don't care about RGB so I have it off at all times. Will update on my battery-life results in the future. Update: seems to lose about 10-15 percent battery a day even with RGB completely off. But I have my keyboard on for 8 hours a day working. If you are using it plugged in at a desk but want a bluetooth keyboard available for work on an iPad, it will work perfectly, though. That's my use case so its perfect for my needs. Keypoints and possible dealbreakers: Battery life is awful when comparing it to Logitech g915. This makes the selling point of the keyboard confusing. Can Razer be marketing this keyboard as wireless if you have to plug it in so often? Combined with needing to charge the keyboard more often.... YOU CAN'T SWITCH TO BLUETOOTH MODE WHILE CHARGING via your PC. The cable connection will override the connection mode you set it to. Low battery and want to charge it via your desktop while you work on a tablet? You can't use it via bluetooth. It is a bit annoying that the bluetooth setting doesn't override the cable. I will say, you CAN plug it into a wall to charge and bluetooth will still work that way but it is a bit annoying to juggle. Wireless should be hassle free and seamless otherwise you may as well have wires. For me, it's still better than logitech. I just could not stand the feeling of their keycaps, its cheap feeling, the way they soak up oil, and its clunky overall look with RGB that also doesn't fully override some of its buttons. I want to be able to travel constantly with my wireless keyboard and game at the same time without fear of keycaps breaking off or falling off when replacements don't exist so Razer was the choice for me. It'll be up to what you think is more important and your use-case.

Update: I discovered 2 ways to incrementally increase the wireless range on the replacement keyboard (didn’t work on the first one). First, use separate dongle for the keyboard & mouse (Razer allows them to share a dongle, which is how I initially setup the replacement). Second, use the included USB cable and adapter to move the dongle several inches from the PC (in any direction). Now, the keyboard only occasionally ignores a keypress from my preferred location. It's not ideal, but quite usable. I'll be keeping this one, and experimenting further for ways to reduce what appears to be an issue of interference. Original: The look and feel of the keyboard is very nice. I use it in my family room from the sofa and require wireless connectivity. My first DSv2 had such limited wireless range that I had to be within about 3 ft of my PC to use it (Bluetooth range was a little better). This obviously was way below spec. The Basilisk V3 Pro mouse, and an old Logitech K830 Bluetooth keyboard work just fine from anywhere in the room. After going through lengthy Razer support, they endorsed a return. So I got another DSv2. The range is better. I can now sit on the near side of my sofa and use it. However, it is unusable from my preferred far end of sofa. I haven't decided if I'll return this one too and keep using my old K830, or change my playing habits. In short, I do not recommend this keyboard for living room TV use, only for desktop use where the keyboard is within cable distance from the PC. And then, you might as well just get the wired version. Wireless range is not at all an issue for the Razer Bv3Pro mouse, which maybe uses different radio hardware or power settings.

Generally looking good, the backlighting adds a touch of excitement. But battery not last longer. Low profile is good but you may feel pain for long use

The deathstalker v2 pro is an excellent keyboard. The keycaps have a finish that makes them feel incredibly non-slippery, which can almost feel annoying sometimes if you're the type to drag your fingers across the key caps. Overall, the keyboard feels extremely durable and the switches feel incredibly stable. I don't know a better way to put it. The keystrokes feel extremely consistent, and the keyboard has absolutely no latency that is perceivable. Is this worth the asking price? That depends. The feature set of this keyboard is the reason I bought it. Optical switches, low profile, 2.4ghz wireless or bluetooth, and the dongle pairs with up to two devices (I'm using the viper v2 pro). I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this keyboard.

Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro is a great keyboard, when it works. The quiet and quick action of the keys is fabulous but the main issue is the Bluetooth, which eventually just fails. I like the keyboard and I wish it would work, but it had to be returned because of the Bluetooth connectivity issues I experienced. I first got a BlackWidow V3 Pro, but that was also returned because the Bluetooth failed. Razer keyboards seems to have weak Bluetooth component somewhere, which eventually fails.

The battery in the keyboard stopped charging a little after a month of owning the keyboard, I can still use it wired, which is mostly how I use it. I contacted Razer, and they've been very good to deal with, any product can have issues, if the company looks after you all is good. In this case, Razer has given me confidence in buying future products from them.
