[btarunr]

Razer, a world leader in connected devices and software for gamers, today announced the launch of the Razer DeathStalker Chroma, a high-performance gaming keyboard featuring fully programmable slim chiclet keycaps and three customizable backlighting zones.

Known for its sleek design that requires a travel distance of only 2mm to actuate, the Razer DeathStalker Chroma provides superior performance when compared to traditional rubber dome membrane switches that require the entire travel distance just to register a keystroke. The ergonomic wrist rest has been designed with the sole purpose of comfortable typing on this low profile keyboard, ensuring countless hours of gameplay without any fatigue. Additionally, the keyboard is now equipped with the award winning Razer Chroma lighting. With three distinct lighting zones and various lighting effects ranging from spectrum cycling, static, breathing to even the iconic wave, the Razer DeathStalker Chroma can be easily personalized to suit any style.



"The Razer DeathStalker Chroma is a chiclet style gaming keyboard unlike any other and a truly great addition to the Chroma range," says Min-Liang Tan, Razer CEO and Co-Founder. "The ultra-sleek form factor lets your fingers fly between each key, while the Chroma features allow you to express yourself with your hardware. Combined with the programmable features provided through Razer Synapse, gamers will receive what they've been waiting for."

The Razer DeathStalker Chroma joins other Chroma enabled Razer devices, including the award-winning Razer DeathAdder Chroma and Razer Naga Epic Chroma gaming mice, the Razer BlackWidow Chroma gaming keyboard and the Razer Kraken 7.1 Chroma headset, as well as the Razer Firefly gaming-grade mouse mat. All Chroma products feature 16.8 million customizable colors and a range of effects enabled through Razer's Synapse software. Synapse allows synchronizing lighting colors and patterns between Chroma devices with the click of a button.

Give it a bloody big ENTER key and separate multimedia keys from the F1-12 buttons and I'll buy in in a heartbeat. When they make everything else right, they cram functions on top of existing keys and use that stupid small ENTER key. Almost every single bloody time. WHY!?

That small ENTER is moronic as hell. When I want to execute something I want to smash the key with confidence and not fear I'll hit everything crammed around it. And yes, Europe is just better. Deal with it

What does EU have to do with small ENTER key?

big enter key = EU layout (and Asian), small enter key = US layout

I used to prefer the large enter key but after using keyboards with a small one for the last 4 years I don't care either way

Same here never really bothered me and feel that the caps lock is more of a problem than the enter key.

Leftys have a extra key which i use that \ key for night vision lol.

no way! hate a big enter key, it's already big horizontally & half the time i use the keypad enter with my mousehand (without letting go of the mouse)

if you're accidentally pressing other buttons, wouldnt you have an even bigger problem with all the small square letters? if you're purposely trying to slam enter instead of typing normally, well that's your problem...

the techy fonts are lame...
