Closer Look


The Fkeys double as media keys with use of the FN button. In order there are controls for Mute, volume down, volume up, skip back, play/pause, skip forward, macro record, game mode, brightness down and brightness up.


In the numpad area we see the pause/break button double as the sleep button as a FN feature, while in the indicator area there are separate lights to display game mode on/off, as well as macro recording.


The Razer switches are green clicky switches, while the Ultimate 'stealth' would feature orange linear switches. The larger keys, unfortunately do not use dummy switch stabilisers as seen in higher end keyboards, rather, they use a more crude metal bar as a pressure distributioThis will work fine, but seems a bit of a cop out on a £100 keyboard.


The included audio out/mic in port as well as the USB pass through port is situated on the right side.


The connectors are 2x USB (main and pass through) and one 4 pole jack, annoyingly, many systems will require an adaptor to use with their desktop, and Razer have not included one.


The underside features the non-slip pads as expected as well as the customary feet to increase the angle.
