RAZER CYNOSA CHROMA PRO
The Cynosa Pro as mentioned earlier has the underglow lighting, which is a light bar similar to their Razer Firefly mousemat which offers the same sort of ambience on your desk. This is something you sometimes don’t even find on some mechanical gaming keyboards, so it’s a nice touch for the membrane alternative which is probably one of very few that offers it. RGB lighting is featured on both the normal and pro version of the Cynosa which both support individual lighting on each key. It does, however, have an FN macro recording key which means you can sort them on-the-fly. There’s also no sign of dedicated media controls either but much like the Ornata, not every gamer will need these or use them if they did. Resting your wrists aside, it also forgoes the parts of a gaming keyboard which is usually offered for gamers, macro keys. From the get-go, it does look like a sleeker office keyboard with RGB lighting, but unlike other Razer boards, it does not come with wrist support which is a little disappointing. The Cynosa Chroma and Cynosa Chroma Pro seem like your standard computer keyboard but with backlighting, Synapse compatibility and the Razer touch.įrom a design perspective, it shows the usual signs of a Razer keyboard being all matte black with their logo that is positioned at the bottom of the keyboard. However, as I type on a hybrid mechanic/membrane keyboard the Ornata it seems like membrane keeps are putting up a decent fight as to why they should still be a consideration for gamers. Membrane keyboards are almost a dying breed being overtaken by their “better” mechanical counterparts for gaming. We are reviewing the standard version but for the extra cash, the only addition is the underglow lighting. It’s their newest keyboard and comes in two slightly different versions, the Chroma at £64.99 and the Chroma Pro version which costs £15 at £79.99. Much like the recently reviewed Razer Electra V2, the company has been looking at expanding its range of budget gaming peripherals in the likely event that it will attract more gamers with a more versatile price range.
