About this deal
We've added a link to the newly-reviewed Corsair K100 AIR in the Dimensions section of this review.
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.
The Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro is an ultra-low-profile keyboard for low-effort gaming
In a flash, the keyboard blinks sideways to reveal another pedestal with an energized Bluetooth icon. 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. A band of red light casts over the center portion of the switch, causing the area to turn holographic.
At the rear, the maximum height of the DeathStalker V2 Pro is just 26.6mm.

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.

Bundle (RZ83-0273).pdfThe keyboard can now be used on 2.4 GHz or Bluetooth wireless modes while it is being charged via Type C cable. The battery life is decent and just about on par with the G915. Razer has given it a 40-hour rating, but that’s only if you’ve got your RGB lighting set at 50%. Increase its brightness to 100%, and you’ve got about 24 hours of use, which means 3 days of 8-hour gaming/typing sessions.
Digital lines appear along the wrist and fingers, highlighting optimal angles for long-lasting support and comfort.
Full Technical Specifications
We cut to a shot of the keyboard with its switches revealed. They actuate with such speed that a green energy erupts from a central key, supercharging the keyboard. As I mentioned earlier in this review, the Razer Deathstalker V2 Pro TKL costs just as much as the Logitech G915 Lightspeed TKL did when it came out three years ago. So, in a way and factoring in inflation, it's actually better value. However, it's still a pretty expensive piece of kit that not many would be willing to pay for a PC gaming accessory.
The camera cuts to a wider shot as the whole keyboard is pelted with even stronger impacts, but it remains unphased as the green energy field withstands the onslaught.
Troubleshooting
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.
