I like a bright, flashy light show, so I ended up having to charge the keyboard several times throughout my testing. RAZER DEATHSTALKER CHROMA PRORazer says the DeathStalker V2 Pro gets 40 hours of continuous battery life with the backlight set to 50 percent brightness. RAZER DEATHSTALKER CHROMA BLUETOOTHYou can connect to three Bluetooth-enabled devices simultaneously, and switch between them using the Bluetooth profile buttons along the top of the keyboard.) (Your other option for reclaiming USB ports is to use the keyboard’s Bluetooth 5.0 connection instead of 2.4GHz wireless. Unfortunately, I don’t currently have a HyperSpeed-compatible Razer mouse in house to test this with, but it’s a pretty useful feature if you’re short on USB ports. Razer’s HyperSpeed wireless tech supports the HyperSpeed multi-device functionality, which means the DeathStalker V2 Pro’s USB-A dongle can support two compatible Razer peripherals (a keyboard and a mouse) simultaneously. (Of course, 2.4GHz wireless is already a pretty speedy, low-latency connection.) For gaming, and anything where latency and lag might be an issue, you’ll want to connect using the 2.4GHz wireless connection, which features Razer’s “industry-leading” HyperSpeed wireless tech, which is - according to Razer - 25 percent faster than any other wireless tech. The DeathStalker V2 Pro offers three connection options: 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.0, and wired (via USB-C). Wireless Experience and Battery Life on the DeathStalker V2 Pro The DeathStalker V2 Pro can store up to five onboard profiles. RAZER DEATHSTALKER CHROMA SOFTWAREThe Synapse software suite also features Razer’s Chroma Studio, Chroma Visualizer and Chroma Connect utilities, which let you customize the keyboard’s per-key RGB lighting with different colors and effects and sync said lighting with other Chroma-equipped Razer peripherals. You can also use Synapse to tweak the keyboard’s lighting and power settings and access the HyperSpeed multi-device pairing utility (which lets you pair a second HyperSpeed-compatible device to the DeathStalker V2 Pro’s HyperSpeed dongle. The DeathStalker V2 Pro’s small footprint means it doesn’t have any programmable macro keys beyond the usual Fn row, so Razer’s HyperShift, which gives you an entire second keyboard worth of programmable macro keys, is particularly handy here. RAZER DEATHSTALKER CHROMA WINDOWSIn Synapse, you can remap almost all of the DeathStalker V2 Pro’s primary keybinds (the Windows key, the “Razer HyperShift” function key, and - curiously - the multimedia button cannot be remapped), as well as most of the keys’ secondary keybinds in “HyperShift” mode. The Deathstalker V2 Pro can be configured using Razer Synapse, which, while not my favorite companion software suite, offers a decent customization experience. Features and Software on the DeathStalker V2 Pro Razer’s linear optical switches are actually pretty excellent for gaming The smooth, consistent feel, speedy actuation, and low-profile, shorter key travel are the perfect combination for games that need quick, accurate keypresses without any tactile hindrance. I like a tactile, clicky bump when I’m typing, but I don’t really need that kind of physical or audible feedback when I’m gaming. ![]() The keyboard is extremely quiet, though, which is a welcome change for those who can usually hear my typing from three blocks away. The keyboard’s low-profile, low-travel keys kept my typing speed up, but the slight mush and lack of tactile feedback hurt my accuracy - specifically, I accidentally hit the Shift key about 27 times while writing this review. ![]() Well, the DeathStalker V2 Pro definitely still feels a little mushy, though much less so than the average non-mechanical keyboard. The linear optical switches have built-in silicon dampeners that are “carefully-tuned” to offer a quiet typing experience that maintains a satisfying key bottom-out, according to Razer. Like other linear switches, the linear optical switches are smooth and have no tactile “bump” during a keypress. The linear optical switches feel fairly similar to other linear mechanical switches - they have an average force of 45 grams, so they still have some weight to them even if they don’t require physical contact to actuate. Not incredible, mind you, but better than I expected considering my general preference for extra-loud clicky mechanical switches. Typing on the DeathStalker V2 Pro was pleasantly surprising. Our review unit came with the linear option. Razer’s optical switches come in two variations, linear (red) and clicky (purple). No physical contact means speedier actuation, made even speedier - Razer claims - when combined with the DeathStalker V2 Pro’s low-profile and shorter key travel. ![]() The DeathStalker V2 Pro features Razer’s low-profile optical switches, which are actuated via light (instead of traditional contact-based actuation). ![]()
