Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro: At a Glance
Priced at $174.99, the Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro is Razer's entry in the gaming keyboards category. With 700 buyers rating it at 4.1 stars, it currently sits at #77 of 141 in our rankings. It's not a top pick - there are higher-rated and better-value options in the category - but specific shoppers may still find it fits their needs.
Construction & Key Action
The keyboard's exact switch type isn't specified in the product listing, which is unusual at this price point. If switch feel matters to you, it's worth checking the manufacturer's site before ordering. In this price tier, you should expect aluminum top plates, doubleshot or PBT keycaps, and per-key RGB. If those aren't here, the price is hard to justify.
One feature owners single out about the Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro: "Low profile switches".
