It isn't mechanical in any way.
It's all done through synapse in the razer cloud, and it's unlimited from what I can tell. The best part is that because it's in the cloud rather than onboard, there's no latency delay, which razer is known for.
No, this keyboard does not have a USB port.
My skin is also silky smooth. Everything is identical. As a result, I don't believe this is an everyday occurrence.
Selected User Reviews For Razer Cynosa V2 Gaming Keyboard: Customizable Chroma RGB Lighting - Individually Backlit Keys - Spill-Resistant Design - Programmable Macro Functionality - Dedicated Media Keys
The extremely intrusive software/spyware that you must use to control the lighting earns this keyboard a one-star rating. The software for controlling the keyboard is web-based, and you must log in to use it; otherwise, the lighting will be uncontrollable. They record EVERY KEY STROKE you make while logged in, scan your computer for hardware, and monitor everything you do on the internet while you're logged in. Before you use the software, make sure you read the agreement.
I've had this keyboard for over a month and use it for gaming and a lot of writing. It performs admirably across the board. br>br>Advantagesbr>- Exceptional valuebr>- Beautiful lighting (br>backlit with vibrant colors and fully adjustable for total customization)br>- Soft clicks that are unusually quiet for a keyboardbr>- There were no problems with any of the keys or ghosting, which is exactly what I'd expect from a gaming keyboard. br>- It has a solid feel to it, but it isn't overly so. br>- Adjustable feet that adjust to the height of your hand, making it very comfortable to use for extended periods of time. br>Disadvantages (all minor)br>- When I pressed the backspace and space bars on occasion, they squeaked. It was barely noticeable, didn't affect any of the functions, and went away after a few weeks. Only because it irritated the perfectionist in me did I include it.
- The keyboard lights may turn off or revert to standard lighting if the driver does not boot up properly. The Synapse driver program can easily be opened and fixed.
- It's possible that the customization driver can be made more user-friendly. friendly. It's a lot of fun to play with once you get the hang of it! br>br>Overall, this is an excellent keyboard for the money. I needed something that would work with my gaming but wouldn't be too loud because I type a lot. The Cynosa Chroma meets all of my criteria while also looking fantastic! br>br>2nd UPDATED: 2nd UPDATED: 2nd UPDATED: 2nd UPDATED: 2nd I've had this keyboard for a year and wouldn't have it any other way. It still works flawlessly, with no issues, strong lighting, and no keys that need to be replaced or repaired. If I could, I'd give it six stars!.

I'm old school and grew up playing games on a membrane keyboard, but a year ago I switched to mechanical keyboards with the Corsair K70 LUX with red switches. I like that keyboard, but the feel of membrane keys is something I miss. I decided to try out this keyboard and fell in love with it right away. When compared to mechanical switches, it has a soft feel and key presses are extremely quiet. I've been using this for a while and it's become my daily driver because of the 1000hz polling rate. This membrane-based keyboard is fantastic!.
br>br>I was previously using a Cynosa non-Chroma keyboard, and upgrading to the Chroma was the best decision I've ever made! Will purchase Razer products in the future!.
The lighting is also fantastic. I'm not a big fan of RGB, but having the KB lights match my mouse is nice.
: UPDATE: br>br>I had to return my KB for a new one after less than a month of use. Nothing major, but the backspace and left shift keys began to make a high-pitched squeaking noise. Getting a new one was no problem at all for me.
Apart from that, the lighting is fantastic, and the Razer software allows for a great deal of personalization! However, I now have a Corsair k68 keyboard, and I have to say, wow, the keyboard is incredible, and typing on the keys is incredibly satisfying. While the razer keyboard is adequate, it pales in comparison to these. If you've never used a mechanical keyboard before, the Razer will be fantastic; however, if you have, the corsair cherry switches will be far superior, and the Razer keyboard will be a 2/5.
