Razer cynosa chroma software#

Software The Cynosa V2 relies on Razer’s Synapse 3 software for customization, which is both a blessing and a curse. Some of the keys give off the occasional squeak, though this tended only to come from some of the larger keys (ones with a metal for balance) and depended on where on the key I pressed. The frame is solidly plastic, but it feels plenty sturdy. At $60, the build and features are definitely compelling. There are also now dedicated media controls where the original Cynosa Chroma only had status lights. Beyond that, Razer has included three-way cable routing and adjustable legs that can raise the keyboard up to two different heights, which together make it easier to set the keyboard up however desired. However, just like Corsair’s keyboard, I don’t see too many ways for water to easily drain from the keyboard once spilled in. One is water resistance, which I’ve seen on the likes of the Corsair K68 RGB. Razer has a few extra perks in the Cynosa V2. The RGB lighting here is fully customizable on a per-key level, and has many game integrations to let Razer’s software automatically change the lighting to match a game’s controls. I’ve found membrane switches help diffuse the light coming from beneath keycaps better than on many mechanical key switches, and sure enough the lighting here does a great job of fully illuminating the legends on each key, making it easy to see secondary functions on all of the keys in the dark. The Cynosa V2 is about as well-lit as a gaming keyboard comes. Anti-ghosting is missing, but this shouldn't be as much of an issue thanks to the presence of the N-key rollover. Even if it’s not mechanical, the Cynosa V2 still has two specs that are essential for gamers: a 1,000Hz polling rate for instantaneous responsiveness and N-key rollover to ensure every keystroke is registered. I’ve actually found plenty of membrane keyboards every bit as capable as their mechanical counterparts, though the 50 million keystroke promises of many mechanical keyboards isn’t made by Razer for the Cynosa V2. For most of the keys, this isn’t too big an issue. Design and FeaturesAs mentioned, the Razer Cynosa V2 uses a membrane key switch, which gives it a softer key feel and quieter keystroke than typical high-end mechanical gaming keyboards.
