Hello Insiders!
With many models and types of keyboards to choose from, it can be difficult to choose a keyboard that suits your preferences. Between those intense gaming sessions or those long office workdays, this is a guide to help answer that age-old question, “Which keyboard is best for me?”. This is the second iteration of this thread.
This thread will be separated into 5 sections:
1. Introduction
2. Membrane / Mecha-Membrane Keyboards
3. Mechanical Keyboards
4. Optical Keyboards
5. Conclusion
You may view all sections, or you can just choose to read the specific one(s) which you are interested in.
Section 1: Introduction to Razer’s Lineup:
At the time of writing this guide, Razer sells four different types of keyboards: Membrane, Mecha-Membrane, Mechanical and Optical. They are all each very different, and all have different price points.
Razer also offers three different sizes of keyboards: Full size, and tenkeyless (TKL), and 60%. I will mention the latter two more when we get to the “Mechanical” and “Optical” keyboard sections.

Is there a review of Razer headphones? Let's say which headphones are good for CS GO
the best keyboard is the one that wins the game for you
BlackWidow Elite for the win!
Good job on this well written presentation @Jenjar. It is a big help for those gamers looking for superior keyboard. For me, the BlackWidow Elite is the best. It has an excellent quality with a lot of features like Hypershift. 👏
Hi - I'm looking for a silent TKL with backlighting, and it looks like options are BlackWidow Lite TKL Orange, and the BlackWidow TE Chroma (Orange or Yellow). Is the Lite the only one with O ring dampers? I never learned to type light, so I always bottom out the keys. Chroma has better backlighting, but it depends on noise difference. Thanks. And apologies if I posted in wrong forum.
Will razer hustman the best keboard for me

Huntsman elite but i could be swayed if they did a huntsman elite wireless, the Blackwindow V3 PRO would be a step back right now with no opto switches.
I'm just waiting for my Huntsman TE to arrive. Slightly worried that it might be a bit too sensitive for me, but we will see! If I get on ok with it my plan is to grab some Mercury keycaps and have a black and white mix.
Razer BlackWidow Ultimate.
this will help the new users in choosing their next keyboard
I am still using my Razer Blade 15 and also saving up to have a Razer Blade Pro 17, hoping to have it very soon.
- Razer Huntsman v2 Analog ,Corsair K83 Wireless Entertainment Keyboard ,Razer Pro Type ,Filco Ninja Majestouch, Logitech Craft...These are some of the best keyboard that you can use in 2021.

Very nice and informative thread!
I've got the Razer Cynosa Lite RGB, which is a Membrane keyboard, that I brought over two months ago.
I love the Razer Huntsman Mini. White is so cool!

Section 2: Membrane / Mecha-Membrane Keyboards:
Membrane:
Membrane keyboards have one large pressure pad, which when compressed in a certain area, will register a specific keystroke. They feel soft and mushy, and do not put out much of a sound, making them the quietest of the keyboards in this guide.
Membrane keyboards are also the most budget-friendly keyboard from Razer. The Cynosa V2 is $59.99 USD, and it is only available in a full size layout. You can learn more about it here.
To Finalize: Membrane keyboards are the best choice if you are on a smaller budget, and want a softer-feeling, quiet keyboard.
Mecha-Membrane:
The Mecha-Membrane keyboard uses the same pressure pad design as the membrane, however in Razer’s case, adds a small metal clip inside the keyswitch, which gives it a tactile bump and sound, instead of the membrane’s softer, mushy feel and quiet sound.
The Mecha-Membrane keyboard is the next budget friendly out of Razer’s lineup, with the only model, The Ornata V2 at $99.99 USD. You can read more about the Ornata V2 here.
To Finalize: Mecha-Membrane keyboards are the best choice if you have a slightly larger budget, and want a slightly tactical feel and sound, however don’t want to jump to a full mechanical or optical keyboard.
yes
