I'm sure I'm one of many few who are into keyboards like this but I have been dreaming of getting a keyboard like this someday. I've had my Original Ornata for at least 5 years now and I'm open to getting something new. I stumbled across this Deathstalker Essential but it basically doesn't exist anymore. I've been wanting a super quiet chiclet style keyboard made by Razer with RGB. That's my dream keyboard in a nutshell. I'm not a huge fan of the clicky mechanical stuff. Not to mention how chunky they usually are. I think it would be awesome if Razer essentially revived and modernized this Deathstalker Essential, adding another option for buyers because there are people out there who like these kinds of keyboards.

It was a cool keyboard, but the reviews I saw on it were not impressive. People's main complaint was that the screen required you to almost have to bang the icons to get something to work. It was not sensitive at all. As well as the screen pressure points were not accurate. It would not recognize which icon you hit if you went too far to the left or right.

If they designed it more like cell phone sensitivity, and had a good API which allowed for really cool development capabilities; I would have gotten into it. Development for this particular keyboard was "meh".
Nah this seems like a bad idea to bring this back, If razer brought this back it would be a stupid price (again), would only be usable with there software and come with only 1 type of switch that is just a load of crap, Just build a custom keyboard and get a elgato stream deck,

Just to make you aware i do love razer products just not there keyboards, Bought a Huntsman mini and the sound of the brings on every key was sickening, For the same price i build a custom keyboard with omegle zero spring sound
