I have read that there is a huge design bug in this keyboard. I have an idea for a workaround it, but before buying it I would like to know if this workaround will work.
The bug is that: when they keyboard is connected to a computer using USB, all the wireless connections will be unavailable (hyperspeed and bluetooth as well).
The workaround I have thought is that. I wonder what will happen if I connect the keyboard to a powerbank (or in otherwords to an usb cable that deliver only power, NOT DATA): will the radio (bluetooth and hyperspeed) be available to use ?
I hope that it is a firmware bug (that turn off radio chip when detects data on usb port) and not an unrecoverable hardware wrong design and Razer (that turn off radio chp when detects +5 volts on power pin of the usb port).
The common use case is:
USB connected to the PC, and at a certain point, i would like to connect the keyboard via bluetooth to a laptop....how to do this keeping the usb cable still connected to the first PC if the keyboard bluetooth is inhibited ?

anyone else having issue with connection to 2.4ghz? i placed the dongle right next to the keyboard thinking it was signal issue but it's still not registering my pressed keys. The LED '1" i also noticed it loses light at times.
are you trying this with usb cable connected ? I don't have the keyboard yet, but I have read (as I have just asked above) that is you connect an usb cable, bluetooth and wireless mode are both disabled.

I checked it now. I type from the keyboard at 2.4 Ghz with a connected power bank.
Bluetooth also works.

that is good, so it should be fixable via firmware update, and workroundable using or a powerbank or an usb cable with data counductors cutted away (also know as only-power usb cable).
hope that someone by razer will take into account this issue and open a ticket for firmware fix.

In which keyboard usage scenario does this interfere with work?

In which keyboard usage scenario does this interfere with work?
In each scenario where you use more than one device and one of them is connected to the keyboard using USB cable.
Pc via USB + tablet via bluetooth =not possible
PC via USB + other PC via Bluetooth = not possible
PC via USB + smartphone via Bluetooth = not possible
PC via USB + other PC via wireless = not possible.
Considering that the battery does not last so long, it can happens that you have to use usb connection and activate radio connection at the same time. Those are the scenarios.
This, as far as I have read on other sites, as I wrote I have not yet bought the keyboard also due too this matter

Disadvantages of the keyboard and Razer Synapse program.
1. Fast battery discharge if you do not turn off the 2.4 Ghz mode, by 20 percent per day, with the backlight off (latest firmware).
2. It is impossible to set the required backlight operation mode when the computer is turned off, mode No. 4 is always turned on.
3. It is not possible to show the battery charge in the tray and in razer central.
4. The brightness of the backlight is adjusted in Razer Synapse, so it is impossible to link two profiles created in chroma studio with different brightness levels to the same profile. You can adjust the color intensity in chroma studio, but I'm not sure that with high brightness and low color intensity there won't be a lot of battery consumption.
Item 1 was fixed in the firmware from January 3. After switching off, the keyboard connected via 2.4 Ghz turns off, there is no battery consumption.
I've been eyeing this keyboard for a while. Does anyone know if the Deathstalker V2 Pro (TLK)'s UK version is ISO, or ANSI layout? Can't seem to be able to find any info on this!
change this Layout??
Thank you .
My apologies as I did not read all of this thread, however...I can never reach Razer via phone. My new PBT KEYCAP UPGRTADE SET will not take the longer stabilizers for the larger keys, i.e. space, enter, shift, backspace, as the stabs are too wide. They will also not work with the original shorter stabilizers. Anyone have a solution? Razer told me a few weeks back that they are compatible. Thanks.

Hi I'm Felix,
I just bought the "deathstalker v2 Pro" keyboard.
I have a problem, the keyboard when I turn it on emits a very low beep, which is very annoying and almost deafening. I asked some people and they also hear the beep and the closer to the side of the battery you hear the louder and more annoying is the sound.
could someone help me with this problem. thank you.
Just so I understand correctly, it’s impossible to order a
Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro White Non-TKL) Linear?
Whenever I switch to Linear on razer website on the Razer DS V2 Pro White Non-TKL, the color changes to black.
Is there a reason why I cannot buy that version? From what I’ve seen, the switches can even be changed to use Keychron switches.
Otherwise, I was thinking of buying the clicky version and then switch to Razer Linear low profile optical switches but I don’t see where I can buy those.

UP on this, we need linear white please!!!
is it possible to put Analog Optical Switches Gen-2 in the deathstalker?
When will be the purple edition be aviable in EU with Switzerland Layout? Why not sell the switches seperatly when the keyboard has already hotswap……...^^
We definitely need white UK/big enter versions!
Also, it would be great to have some Razer Black Linear low-profile optical switches to buy, reds are a tad over-sensitive when you rest your fingers on the keycaps.
The issue you've mentioned with the DEATHSTALKER V2 PRO keyboard is indeed a concern for some users who want to maintain wireless functionality even when connected via USB. Your workaround idea, using a powerbank or a USB cable that only delivers power and not data, is an interesting approach.
If the keyboard's radio chip is deactivated only when it detects data on the USB port, your workaround could theoretically work. The keyboard would still receive power without switching off its wireless functionalities. However, if the radio is disabled by the mere presence of a 5V power source on the USB port, then the workaround might not be effective.
