Best Razer Products 2020 – All the Best Razer Gear Reviewed

Testing this mouse out on games like Overwatch and Counter-Strike, we found the accuracy, responsiveness, and acceleration to be quite stunning. The mechanical switches and tactile scroll wheel see to that. The mouse’s sensor is state of the art and can function on almost any surface, including glass.

There is indeed not a lot wrong with this mouse. The mouse is super comfortable to use, and the hard-core gamer can play for hours on end without a second thought.

While Razer does mention that the mouse’s colors are customizable with the full spectrum available, the positioning of these lights is a letdown. As soon as the mouse is clutched, the lighting is hidden from view, unlike the lighting on the Mamba.

The mouse seamlessly syncs to the Synapse software. The Razer Synapse is great, but the only con it has is that it gets updated an annoying number of times in a short span.

You can purchase a Chroma mouse mat, which has LED light as well, which can add to the price tag.

If you have budgetary constraints, we would recommend you opt for the Chroma option. The v2 does offer slightly better customizability, DPI, and performance, but value for money wise, we feel the Chroma still has the edge.

When Razer mentions, “Feel the difference,” they weren’t kidding with this one. The 1^st thing that caught our eye and our fingers is how well-built this keyboard is aesthetically and functionally. The responsiveness for the mechanical switches was quite incredible.

Everything oozes quality from the braided fiber cable to the inter-device synchronization. We would recommend the compact versions instead of the Full RGB if you are buying this for your kids or purely for gaming purposes.

Quality-wise, we found that the Razer mechanical switches are incredibly similar to the Cherry MX switches. This is great when you add in the fact that these last much longer than traditional Cherry MX keys. Make sure you understand the type of mechanical keys when you choose your version. Although I love the Cherry MX switches, I have to admit that the Razer keys feel even more durable and just as responsive.

The Razer Green is comparable to the Cherry MX Blue, and the Razer Orange (which you see in the Stealth/ Ultimate version) is the Cherry MX Brown equivalent.

If you are looking for something tactile and less clicky, then the Stealth version is excellent. We found that the Stealth version is quieter than your average mechanical keyboard but still louder than most other membrane pieces.

The Razer Synapse software is great despite there being some minor driver compatibility issues on MACs. You can customize everything and save all your settings to the cloud too.

The keyboard also has a USB slot for your mouse and 3.5 jack for headphones, which comes in very handy. The Deus EX and Overwatch versions are slightly heavier, and all the versions have a very sturdy feel about them, which is a great trait for a gaming keyboard.

Its biggest strength is also its biggest weakness. It is filled with high-end, cutting-edge features such as Hypersense and Spatial Audio. Both of these works great when in the correct setting, but it also gets in the way of its bottom-line sound quality and battery lifetime.

Hypersense is a brand new technology that mimics the in-game events with vibrations to make the game feel even more immersive than with regular surround sound. This is a fantastic feature is games such as God of War or Battlefield 5, where atmosphere and immersion trump directional audio, but it doesn’t work in competitive games. The vibrations get in the way of the baseline sound quality, and you won’t get as clear directional audio as with regular headsets, which is a problem if you play competitive shooters.

The design is comfortable and spacious but arguably too big as the headset sits a bit loosely on your head. For the most part, it uses the same design as the Kraken, which I love, and the cooling gel-infused ear cushions feel comfortable to wear.

Lastly, the biggest flaw might be its overly expensive price tag. Don’t get me wrong. It is a quality headset with a durable design and a ton of high-end features, but it is much more expensive than most wireless options, and I don’t feel like the features make up for it at all.

The Razer Ornata Chroma offers the best of both worlds. It boasts the same clicky sound that mechanical options offer while providing the cushioned feel of a membrane. The tactile feedback is much better than any membrane keyboard but falls short of full mechanical options.

The membrane is what transmits the signal, so it’s no surprise that the performance is closer to a membrane than that of a mechanical board.

The keyboard also features a gaming mode that enables all its anti-ghosting capabilities.

What we loved about this is the comfort it offers. We think this is arguably one of the most comfortable keyboards in the market. The massive wrist rest is ideal for those who spend hours on end gaming.

This device facilitates faster typing thanks to the mid-height keys. It’s not often we say that a Razer is well worth its price tag, but this one certainly is.

The inter-device sync is great, and though this keyboard doesn’t offer any USB pass-through for headphones or your mouse. This keyboard strikes a superb balance between being a work and gaming board.

The customizability and comfort are huge positives with the adjustable rest modules quite sufficient for a plethora of surfaces.

Hardware-wise, we feel this pad is top-notch. The tactile feedback for the keys is excellent, but the thumb buttons don’t have the same feature. You can also individually configure the LEDs too.

What holds it back, however, is Razer’s infamous Synapse software. We came across issues related to profile selections and mods, which put a dent in the experience.

The major con with the Orbweaver is related to the build quality. The device has a bit of a flimsy feel, although it does deliver exceptional performance. The plastic feeling is a bit of a no-no for a lot of folks out there. The main issue was related to the glue, which tends to leak out of the palm rest following repetitive use for many months.
