As we’ve covered Synapse quite a bit in the past, I’m not going to get into it too much here. Software on the Razer Ornata Chroma is Razer’s Synapse software, which is pretty much the software suite for all Razer peripherals over the past few years. Razer also offers a SDK for software developers to integrate Chroma functionality into their games. For those interested, here’s a full list of games that support Razer Chroma integration. For example in Overwatch, Chroma can notify you when an ultimate attack is ready to go by setting the keyboard to light up obnoxiously. Although the backlighting primarily serves as eye candy, Razer’s Chroma system does have its uses such as functioning as a notifications system in game. As it has Razer Chroma technology built in, it’s gorgeous when lit up and a great choice for those looking for additional desk eye candy. Here’s a look at the Razer Ornata Chroma plugged in. As the Ornata Chroma is a pretty tall keyboard from front to back, it’s not very comfortable to type on without a wristrest. This is a nice addition which helps reduce fatigue after long gaming or typing sessions. While it does look quite nice right out of the box, it attracts fingerprints rather quickly which requires regular cleaning to stay looking fresh.įor the Ornata Chroma, Razer also decided to add a cushy magnetic wristrest. While the keycaps feel very nice and high quality, one complaint I have about the keycaps is that Razer decided to coat these keycaps with soft touch type material. Razer claims that these keycaps help increase speed as the lower height reduces actuation distance. The keycaps are Razer’s special mid-height keycaps which are about half the height of your typical mechanical keyboard keycap. Stabilizers used here are similar to costar style stabilizers where a bar is used to ensure consistent actuation force throughout the entire length of the key. As such, the keys have a click, requires a heavy actuation force, and a has distinct actuation point just like a mechanical switch however, it still uses a rubber dome membrane switch below. The design here is fairly interesting as Razer essentially took your typical membrane switch and fitted a mechanical action above it. Removing the keys, we can take a quick look at the switches. ![]() Construction on the Razer Chroma Ornata is fairly good as well with Razer utilizing quality plastics and a nice matte finish. It’s a fairly basic design which is nice since it does the job without having to flash logos and strange looking design elements.Īs usual for a mechanical keyboard, the Chroma Ornata is very thick which is due to the additional components needed for the mechanical portion of the keyboard. Here’s a look at the Razer Ornata Chroma. Included in the packaging is some documentation along with the Razer Ornata Chroma. Here’s a look at the packaging for the Razer Ornata Chroma. A Closer Look at the Razer Ornata Chroma Specifications ManufacturerĬhroma (RGB Backlighting), Detachable Wrist Rest Today, we have the opportunity to review the Razer Ornata Chroma Gaming Keyboard which is the first Razer gaming keyboard to feature Razer’s new Mecha-Membrane Switches. Several weeks ago, we got an opportunity to review Razer’s Ultra-Low Profile Mechanical switches in their Mechanical Keyboard Case and found it a pleasant alternative compared to typical low profile membrane switches. After developing their own mechanical switches several years ago, Razer went on to develop several unique new switches earlier this year including their Ultra-Low Profile Mechanical Switch and most recently their Mecha-Membrane Switch. Over the past few years, Razer has made quite a few innovations in the mechanical keyboard space. Testing Razer’s New Membrane/Mechanical Hybrid Switch ![]()
