Razer launches three new gaming keyboards under DeathStalker lineup

Razer's 2012-released Deathstalker keyboard revamped!

Razer’s 2012-released Deathstalker keyboard was one of the company’s best-selling keyboards. However, its mediocre chiclet keycaps, membrane switches and expensive price tag resulted in it being phased out rather quickly.

Now, the Deathstalker is making a comeback in the form of the new DeathStalker V2 Pro, DeathStalker V2 Pro Tenkeyless and DeathStalker V2, with both linear and clicky variants of Razer’s low-profile optical switches across all three keyboards.

The keyboards feature a sleek and low-profile design, and according to Razer, the line is all about high-performance, with laser-etched keycaps and a slim-line aluminum top plate for durability. “The original DeathStalker became a fan favorite due to its innovative chiclet-style design and next-level typing feel within a sleek low-profile form factor,” said Chris Mitchell, head of the PC gaming division at Razer. “With the new DeathStalker V2 range, we’ve kept the low-profile aesthetic of the original keyboard, but included our latest technology innovations, such as Razer Optical Switches and Razer HyperSpeed Wireless, to give gamers a fast, feature-packed gaming keyboard experience.”

Both the V2 Pro and V2 Pro Tenkeyless feature the ‘Razer HyperSpeed Wireless,’ a fast, stable and reliable wireless connection which, according to Razer, is on par with traditional wired connections. Both the keyboards also feature Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, alongside a battery life of between 40 to 50 hours on a single charge.

The Deathstalked V2 takes all of the performance and durability features from the V2 Pro, and packs it in a wired keyboard with multi-functional media buttons and a media roller.
