    I like the keyboard as a whole. The switches are a little mushy but I switched out for Keychron low-profile optical banana switches and am happy with them. They don’t advertise it as hot swappable but they switches are easily removable. This is my first Razer product and the software is kind of a pain in the butt to figure out.

    This razer keyboard served its purpose, very nifty, light to carry and touch, and compact. Its RGB lights are a nice quality and modifiable on the sync application. I loved it was a silent keyboard and the absence of click-clacking sounds. Nifty because it has volume scroll that I have never seen on another keyboard which helps. It has back stands with three settings - flat, slightly raised, and raised(1in). My favorite keyboard hope it lasts long!

    This keyboard really is the best thing ever. Its quiet (which is a plus) so I wouldn’t wake anyone up. Also, the customizable lighting opposed to the regular modes that you get with certain keyboards is probably my favorite feature about it.

    Excels as a wireless, gaming keyboard with it's super low latency and response time. Incredibly light and customizable through Razer Synapse. Highly recommend if you're looking to upgrade your hardware.

    A premium price for a premium product. I love this keyboard. It has very little sound when typing. Super smooth and fast actuation. You don't need Synapse to change RGB modes. You can use it wired or wireless. I just would like more avaliable keycap options. At the moment I don't know of any. Even though its low profile, it should still come with a wrist rest. I got a very nice HyperX TKL wrist rest.

    I’m not actually a gamer, however I am a programmer and can spend 10+ hours a day typing away. The build is very solid (I am a heavy typer) and gives off just the right amount of noise to sound responsive but not become an annoyance. I had originally bought the white one in store but ended up picking the black one up on sale a few days later, appearance wise both are very sleek but I think I prefer the white, however that’s unimportant to me. The only con I’ve noticed is the lighting can glitch out, as you can see in the last photo, the ctrl key is a different color on the white keyboard, but once again the appearance stuff doesn’t really matter to me.

    Best low-profile gaming keyboard, but NOT for Mac

    Let me start with the pros of this keyboard. I tried 7 different keyboards before landing on the Deathstalker V2 pro TKL and this keyboard was the best low-profile "hybrid" work/gaming keyboard I could find. There are a couple other low-pro keyboards out there with a better typing experience (like the Nuphy Air) but they mostly lack "gaming" features like optical switches, addressable RGB's, etc. Back to the pros of the DSV2 pro - the linear switches are VERY quiet and smooth to the point of feeling mushy. Normally mushy is a bad thing but since I wanted to use this keyboard for work AND gaming I needed something quiet and this board checks that box surprisingly well. Second, the keycaps are well-done for ABS and they have a nice soft rubberized feel to them. The switches are also hot-swappable with Keychron low-pro optical switches which is surprising since RAZER does not advertise this and it's such a huge selling point. So if you don't like the mushy feel of the linears Keychron has a bunch of different options to try including tactile. Keep in mind however that Keychron uses a different stabilizer layout so their keycaps are not compatible, only the switches. As for gaming performance on PC, the most important thing for me is latency and bright RGB's and this board checks those boxes. Lastly, the DSV2 does have on-board memory so you can save different profiles and toggle between them without having Synapse open. Now for the bad news - if you ONLY use Mac this keyboard is not fully compatible with Mac contrary to Best Buy listing them as compatible. In fact, the latest RAZER software (Synapse 3.0) does not support Mac at all. Older versions (like Synapse 2.0) do support Mac but the DSV2 pro is not compatible with older versions which means you can't customize the RGB's, can't change power settings, can't remap keys, can't even update the firmware. The only way around this is if you also have a PC in the house then you can use the PC to create a profile on Synapse 3.0 and save it to the on-board memory. All in all, I gave the DSV2 Pro TKL 4-stars because for the high price I would expect RAZER to put those extra profits into paying their dev team to make Synapse 3.0 compatible with Mac. If you are only using this board on PC however and you want a low-profile gaming keyboard then look no further.

    The DSV2 Pro TKL is a gaming-focused keyboard, an arena where it excels. Its short actuation point & optical switches contribute to its competence & advantage in gaming. It has no discernible demerits as such. The keystrokes are fluid (not scratchy), and the springs are such that one does not always bottom out to register keystrokes. Productivity: For all uses apart from gaming, the DSV2 can occasionally (if not frequently) trip the typist with mishits (unintended keystroke registers). The ultra-fast-actuations that make it excel at gaming also make it more than typically sensitive to touch. The most light-handed folks may not notice as much, but the rough-&-tumble hands will tumble or trip. Disclaimer: It is unfair to not recommend this with Office/Productivity use-case in mind when it is designed primarily for Gaming. Razer's Huntsman line is more suited to productivity & is noticeably more pleasant at such tasks.

    This is my first wireless keyboard purchase. Keyboard worked great out the box. The design of the keyboard is the best part. Lightweight, sturdy, comfortable to use, and stylish. The battery life is about what I expected it to be. I have used it for hours on end for college assignments and have not had any issues. A bit on the pricier side, but I would still recommend!

    I got this because I use other Razer peripherals and wanted it all to sync up. I'm coming from a Logi G915 TKL. It is a nice keyboard. Obviously expensive, so I waited for a good sale price. These switches are very sensitive compared to the Logi G915 TKL. My typos are higher than usual due to this. It is not a big deal as I'm rapidly adjusting, and I'm sure you would as well. Very clean, nice addition if you are using other Razer peripherals in Synapse (light syncing.) Looks good, feels good. It is pretty quiet as far as "clicky" goes. I'm pleased with the purchase, though I can't say I prefer it over the Logi as far as the keyboard itself goes. It is now the primary for the syncing mentioned above.

    I have been using this keyboards since last November 22 and this is the best all around keyboard in the market. It is incredible and outperforms my old Mechanic red cherry key Ducky keyboard. The optical keys are far superior than any mechanical keyboard. The options are incredible with this keyboard to customize or pair with a other razer device. Its slim but super durable design and made with a light aluminum shell for durability. I love how compact the design is and bought this keyboard because it has all of the necessary buttons I was looking for including a media button and volume control that works extremely well. The connection and battery life are incredible but personally I have it hardwired to my laptop but have the option to use it wirelessly whenever I want. Would recommend to anyone, only problem is the price, razer rarely gives discounts.

    Absolutely loved the feel of the keyboard. It is outstanding. The low-profile keys are heaven for me. I have such a hard time typing on a standard keyboard, but low profile keyboards I can fly on this keyboard has everything you need to get the best gaming or work experience done with ease. The only downside is Razer's terminally ill trash software. It's straight up bloatware and I would not ever install that garbage but unfortunately you can't do any of the mapping or RGB effects unless you install that or OpenRGB. For me that wasn't an option because OpenRGB causes my ASUS motherboard to flake out. If you're OK with their software, are you have a different way to control the features this keyboard is absolutely outstanding. They built the keys correctly. The switches are wonderful. Everything about it is great. The software is terrible.
