Razer makes some of the best gaming keyboards there is, packed with features all wrapped up in stylish designs. And whether you want some wireless or wired, full size or mini, Razer has you covered.
Some of our favorite features include things like Razer’s HyperSpeed wireless multi-device dongle connection, the ever-popular Chroma RGB backlighting, and onboard memory profiles. But other things like dedicated media keys and multi-function roller buttons are a nice touch too.
While Razer doesn’t exactly sell an insane number of keyboards, it does still have more than a few. So we’ve rounded up the best keyboards that Razer makes and compiled them here. The list contains a range of options at different price ranges that should fit just about every budget.
Best Razer keyboards
Deathstalker V2 Pro
We’ll kick off this list with what is not only one of the best Razer keyboards, but one of the best gaming keyboards in general. The Deathstalker V2 Pro has really almost everything you could ever want. For starters, it’s wireless. Which means you can cut down on clutter by having one less cable strewn across your desk. Not to mention one less thing that needs to be plugged into your PC.
The beauty of this though is that the keyboard can still be used in a wired mode. In addition to the wireless connection, it supports Razer HyperSpeed wireless, with multi-device connection via one dongle. This allows you to connect two wireless Razer devices with a single dongle so you don’t need two USB ports. As long as the other device also supports this connection feature. On top of that, it can connect through Bluetooth too.
For battery life, the keyboard lasts for up to 40 hours on a single charge. It also has low-profile keys with Razer’s optical switches, plus a dedicated multi-function roller button and media key. Other excellent features include laser-etched keycaps, and storage for the dongle on the underside of the keyboard. If you’re looking for something wireless, this is the way to go.

Huntsman Mini
The Deathstalker V2 Pro is excellent, but it’s also pricey and takes up more space on the desk. If you prefer something smaller or need something smaller, check out the Huntsman Mini. This is a 60% keyboard with a smaller footprint. But you aren’t giving up any keys here.
While the keyboard doesn’t have as much room for every key like a full size, it still offers most key functions by doubling them up together. This is also a wired keyboard so you aren’t worrying about battery life with this one.
You can pick this one up with either linear or clicky switches depending on if you want something more smooth or crisp and clicky. The Huntsman Mini also features onboard memory for saved profiles as well as the Chroma RGB lighting. And when you’re done using it and need to pack it up, the USB cable is detachable for storage. It also comes in Black or Mercury color options.

Huntsman V2
Another one of the best keyboards from Razer is the Huntsman V2. You can get this one with clicky and linear switches as well depending on your preferences. And since this is a full size keyboard you get a few more functions out of it. It has four dedicated media keys and a multi-functional dial that you can use to adjust volume and other things. Not to mention the number pad if you like to use it.
The other really nice thing about this keyboard is that Razer is using a sound dampening foam layer to make the key presses quieter. The keys still have that nice mechanical feel to them without making so much noise. Which is actually great if you don’t like the louder key clicks.
You’ll also see that this keyboard comes with a wrist rest, and this one is magnetic so it attaches and detaches pretty easily. If there’s one downside it’s that the keyboard doesn’t have a detachable cable. Which makes a little harder for packing into a bag if you ever wish to take it anywhere.

Blackwidow V3
The Blackwidow Ultimate was my very first nice gaming keyboard purchase more than 10 years ago. And since then the Blackwidow line has continued to improve on what it offers to the gamer. The Blackwidow V3 is not the latest iteration of this line. But it is still an excellent choice.
The dedicated roller dial and multi-functional button are present just like on the Deathstalker V2 Pro. But it also comes with a magnetic wrist rest for more ergonomic support. Again Razer has implemented the ability to store 5 onboard memory profiles which you can configure and save using the Razer Synapse 3 software on your PC. And a nice touch is that the Blackwidow V3 has cable routing so you can clean the desk space up a tiny bit.
Of course it also feature Razer Chroma RGB backlighting but the switches on this keyboard are transparent, which makes the RGB brighter. For a wired keyboard this is definitely one of our favorites. And at $79.99 the price isn’t too bad.
Blackwidow V3
Blackwidow V4 Pro
The Blackwidow V4 Pro takes everything that was great about the V3 model and improves upon it with a couple of key changes. The one that stands out the most is the USB passthrough. There are two USB-C ports on the back and one USB-A port right alongside them. One of the USB-C ports is for powering the keyboard itself, while the other is for powering the USB passthrough function.
It also has this new Command Dial on the left side of the keyboard for managing the controls of different things. You can use it to adjust keyboard brightness, zoom, switch browser tabs and more. Then on the right side there are four sizeable dedicated media keys, as well as a multi-function roller dial.
Now onto the wrist rest. It’s magnetic like the ones that come with the other keyboards on this list. But this one also has a Chroma RGB underglow as does the keyboard itself. If you love your RGB, you’ll get a ton of it with this keyboard. And the lights will look really cool in games that support Chroma and have specific profiles. Additionally you get everything you’d imagine comes with a modern Razer keyboard. Like onboard memory profiles, 8-macro keys and more.
Overall it’s a solid keyboard and if it weren’t for the Deathstalker V2 Pro, this would probably be our favorite coming from Razer.
Blackwidow V4 Pro
Ornata V3 X
The Ornata V3 X had to go on this list simply because there weren’t really any other options so far that were in this price range. If all you want is a simple gaming keyboard that doesn’t have a ton of extra features, this is one of the best options. And because of that it’s only $39.99 which makes it super affordable.
There are of course some trade offs. There’s no wireless capabilities, and the switches are membrane instead of mechanical. If that doesn’t bother you it’s still great for gaming. Though hardcore or competitive gamers will want to go with something else on this list.
The Ornata V3 X also features Chroma RGB, and it still comes with a nice magnetic wrist rest for better ergonomics and more comfortable typing. And like the Deathstalker V2 Pro, it has low-profile keys for a slim design.

Cynosa V2
- Price: $47.97
- Where to buy: Amazon
Rounding out this list as one of the best Razer keyboards is the Cynosa V2. This is another option that comes in at an affordable price and is under $50. Like the Ornata V3 X, it features membrane switches so again, while a great gaming keyboard, it might be the best option if you consider yourself a hardcore gamer and like to play competitive games.
That doesn’t mean it won’t be suitable for some users in those cases. Just that there are other options listed that will work better. That aside, there are loads of features to love here. Chroma RGB lighting, a low-profile design, and support for Razer HyperShift for complex macros. Plus it has dedicated media and volume keys and it’s wired so you’ll have to worry about recharging it.
