Ornata V3 X Gaming Keyboard: Low Profile Keys - Silent Membrane Switches - Spill Resistant - Chroma RGB Lighting - Ergonomic Wrist Rest - Snap Tap

The Razer Ornata V3 X has been an awesome addition to my setup. I love the low-profile keys—they feel smooth and responsive without being too loud, which makes typing and gaming much more comfortable. The RGB lighting looks great and is easy to customize, giving it that signature Razer style. It’s also spill-resistant, which is reassuring, and the wrist rest adds a nice touch for long sessions. Overall, it’s a great keyboard for anyone who wants a balance of comfort, performance, and style without going overboard on price.

I know that some people are really picky about keyboards. When I started looking into getting a new one for myself, I saw lots of people talking about things like how raised they buttons are, how much noise they make, layout, etc. Personally even though I use my computer a lot, and I'm always typing, I don't care that much. My only preference is (and it is just a preference for me, not a deal breaker) is I like lower, non-raised keys which makes typing more comfortable and less strenuous on the fingers, though it's worth mentioning since this is a gaming keyboard, I don't think it really makes much difference when gaming. My other preference, is I like a "full" keyboard layout. I don't care if the overall keyboard is big because it's a wired keyboard, so obviously it's for a stationary setup (if your not moving it around, why does size matter?) Also I like having the numpad, which I use quite a bit. Anyway, the whole reason I even decided to buy a new keyboard is I have gaming mouse that is also razer and I've really come to appreciate how cool having the ability to rebind and macro commands to different keys. My birthday came up, and I decided to get a cheap razer keyboard just so it would work with Razer Synapse. Honestly if your a keyboard connoisseur and you want to be able to control the RGB lights and have the keys make just the right amount of clicking sound or whatever, I'm sure you'll find something wrong with the keyboard and not like because it is pretty basic. If you are like me however and are just looking for a slight upgrade or something that works with Razer Synapse, this is a great keyboard for a reasonable price! My only complaint is by default the RGB lights are pretty bright, it's kinda jarring at night, even if you are using your computer with a nearby light to keep the room from being dark (which you should be doing if your looking at screen, it's better for your eyes). Also color of the light cycles on its own, which I don't really like. I don't even really care about RGB lights other than just allowing me to see the keys in the dark, so I'd rather they just stay one color. I don't care that much about it to take off a star though, and I've heard there are ways to adjust this either with third party software, or through something provided by Razer.

For the price i feel like you cant go wrong. I PC game with a controller so i dont personally get into the needs of a full mechanical keyboard, this was a nice middle ground of still having something i can type with and set custom macros with Razer software but also priced at the entry level and just be an overall good comfortable keyboard. Used for daily computing, not gaming.

Pros: • Nice, sleek design • Keys feel nice to type on (for membrane keys anyway) as in they have a pleasant feedback and the keys’ surface is pleasantly soft to the touch • The RGB backlighting can get super bright, which I am not used to. I like the option to change it. I’m not used to that option for a keyboard. • Worked right away with Windows 10 without Razer software • The cable routing option underneath the keyboard was an unexpected surprise. Nice touch Razer! Cons: • You apparently need the Razer Synapse software to change the RGB lighting, among other things. • That space bar is much louder compared to all the other keys, and you most definitely will notice it. (Very loud for a membrane keyboard anyway.) • The keys are a bit tough to see without any lighting on, but not too bad. (I am just used to the Logitech K120 keyboard’s highly visible keys.) • The lack of dedicated media buttons, but I knew that before purchase. • The Synapse software is fascinating, yet quite slow. It’s still interesting to use, but not a positive in my book for a keyboard. (Try the Synapse Beta software instead, as it seemed more responsive.) Main review: I am coming from using a typical, no-frills, cheap keyboard called the Logitech K120 that is quite popular and I have had no issues with. I just wanted to try something…new. This is my first gaming keyboard I tried since getting a Saitek Eclipse (series 1) with membrane keys back in 2008. I loved that Eclipse keyboard. I never had a gaming keyboard before that, and I just plugged the USB cable into my new desktop PC at the time and it worked. The Saitek Eclipse had dedicated/separate volume buttons and backlighting button on it other than using the function keys or something. The keys felt great and it never let me down for many years before I sold it for some reason. Also, I don’t recall needing to have downloaded some software unlike this Razer one to get the backlighting to work. No it didn’t have RGB lighting, but a keyboard with backlighting was amazing to me for a new desktop PC. Sure, this Razer keyboard works without downloading Razer’s Synapse software, but I wish there was a way to change the backlight color without it. That’s my main gripe about this Razer keyboard. I still haven’t tried the highly touted mechanical keyboards that I have been reading about for eons, but I have loved membrane keyboards so much that I haven’t felt the need to try mechanical yet. I may change my mind soon. This keyboard evokes a bit of the same feeling as that keyboard, although this Razer keyboard of course doesn’t have dedicate media buttons. Do I need those dedicated media buttons? Not really…but they sure came in handy and I knew where they were and were easily accessible on the keyboard. So, what I did after trying this Razer keyboard for a couple days is order a full-size Corsair K55 RGB gaming membrane keyboard with dedicated media buttons as well to see which one I respond to better. Overall, I think you will enjoy this gaming keyboard (for the price) if you have modest expectations and don’t require lots of features as on many other, more expensive gaming keyboards that I have read about before opting for this one.

I love this keyboard no input delay very quiet keystrokes being able to change the color to what your mood is or to what you want razer is a great brand to start with big supporter would recommend this keyboard to anyone and the price is very reasonable

Love this keyboard! It's fully customizable through the Razer app and I match it with my PC lights and mouse lighting!

Easy to connect, Another quality RAZER product! LED colors look great. Light weight, smooth feel, & stabile

I got this keyboard for my birthday, it looked very nice and good quality. I didn't know it was the cheaper version of the keyboard model at the moment. So some of the features I was looking forward to weren't the best. Some of those features were: magnetic wrist ramp, (it wasn't very magnetic at all) custom RGB through the app, (which there was, but all of the more custom options were for the other version) I also thought that the wrist pad/ramp was padded, but I just didn't notice that it wasn't at that time. The keys are a bit loud, but it's not horrible. I decided to return it, and buy the other version. For the wrist ramp issue I'm going to buy a separate wrist pad that's more comfortable and works for the keyboard.
