The DeathStalker V2 Pro can store up to five onboard profiles. Wireless Experience and Battery Life on the DeathStalker V2 Pro You can also use Synapse to tweak the keyboard’s lighting and power settings and access the HyperSpeed multi-device pairing utility (which lets you pair a second HyperSpeed-compatible device to the DeathStalker V2 Pro’s HyperSpeed dongle. We cut to a side view of the keyboard to showcase its ultra-slim profile, as a robotic hand rests upon it.

EU Declaration of Conformity for Abyssus Lite & Goliathus Mobile Construct Ed. Bundle (RZ83-0273).pdf That still isn’t bad. However, if you’re one to forget to regularly charge or you just despise having to charge in general, you probably should reduce RGB brightness to 50%. Simultaneously, the keyboard’s Razer Chroma RGB lighting goes into overdrive as it changes colors at a rapid pace. One thing that's sure though is the frame feels solid and you certainly feel like you've got a premium keyboard in your hands. It's wonderfully low profile and sits comfortably on the desk in a way that means your wrists aren't raised as you type. Far more pleasant than standard keyboards in our mind. If you prefer to stay tethered for the most reliable connection, however, you can connect it to your laptop or PC with the included USB-C cable. That means that you can also use it while charging.

If you enjoy low-profile keyboards, Razer’s updated line of DeathStalker V2s ticks all the right boxes making them ideal for typists or gamers.

We cut to an extreme closeup along the top edge of the keyboard—highlighting a switch that enables it to toggle between 2.4GHz and Bluetooth mode. The switch slides to 2.4GHz mode. The media button and roller are great as well, but you’ll need to go into the Razer Synapse 3 app to change their settings. At default, the button is only set to play and pause while the roller controls the volume (you press it to mute). Spending more might be worth it to some people, however, if they want the fastest wireless connectivity and simultaneous connectivity to several devices. However, if they don’t mind being tethered to their PC or having an ever so slightly slower wireless connection that isn’t discernible to most people anyway, one of the aforementioned options above might be of better value to you. We've converted this review to Test Bench 1.3, which overhauls how key input is evaluated. We've added new tests for Single Key Latency, Multi Key Latency, Data Transmission, and Chord Split. We've also introduced a new Raw Performance usage and adjusted how the Gaming and Office usage scores are calculated. You can see the full changelog here. Most users might not see a big difference outright, but they will over time as that combination truly means the keyboard requires less effort from you, especially when typing. We’ve found ourselves putting in less force when typing this review or playing either Cyberpunk 2077 or Stray, and our wrists, arms, and shoulders have been reaping the benefits.

The DeathStalker V2 Pro is crafted with quality in mind, which means it includes a durable aluminium top plate and laser-etched ABS keycaps with a "durable" coating. The low profile design of the switches and the keycaps means it's sadly not possible to have the PBT double-shot keycaps you'd usually find on other premium keyboards. That might mean these keycaps wear out more easily over time, but based on the quality we'd suggest that would be after some fairly heavy use. If you are using a laptop, ensure it is plugged into a wall outlet and notrunning on battery before proceeding. The DeathStalker V2 Pro offers three connection options: 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.0, and wired (via USB-C). For gaming, and anything where latency and lag might be an issue, you’ll want to connect using the 2.4GHz wireless connection, which features Razer’s “industry-leading” HyperSpeed wireless tech, which is — according to Razer — 25 percent faster than any other wireless tech. (Of course, 2.4GHz wireless is already a pretty speedy, low-latency connection.)The camera cuts to a low angle shot of the keyboard, as it travels towards a sliver of light at the end of a passage that’s slowly closing. The aging Logitech G915 (and G915 TKL) is the most apparent mainstream competition to the Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro. However, I found that keyboard unremarkable when I bought it in 2020, and I still feel that way. For one, the keycaps are straight-up trash, and not only do they get terrible key shine, but the printed letters/numbers are also likely to wear off over time. You also get just one Bluetooth profile (instead of three), its construction is flimsy, being all plastic, it has slightly less battery life (30 hours vs. 40), and it uses mechanical switches instead of optical. Save any open documents on your computer and close all other programs before attempting the update.
