Razer Computer Keyboards

Razer keyboards offer gamers a precise key feel and a host of configuration options, giving them complete control over their game interactivity. These products include both traditional QWERTY-style keyboards and unique keypads that put an array of customizable controls within easy reach. Many products also include ergonomic features that provide practical wrist and hand support, ensuring time spent in front of the computer is comfortable and safe. Staples carries a complete selection of Razer products.

Mechanical or Membrane?

When choosing a keyboard, the first thing to consider is the kind of keys it uses. The keys on a membrane keyboard sit atop a film that detects when they're depressed, while each key on a Razer mechanical keyboard has a tiny switch inside that's activated when the key is pressed. Both types offer excellent performance but feel a little different. Mechanical keys have pronounced tactile feedback some users prefer, whereas membrane keys have a softer touch and usually have shorter keycaps to help your fingers move faster across the keys. Razer makes keyboards and keypads with both kinds of keys.

Customizable Control

Keyboards by Razer let users change their keyboard setup to match the game they're playing or the application they're using. Macros reduce complex command sequences to a single button press, and extra keys featured on some models offer easy access to commonly used macros. Many products include on-the-fly macro recording, so you can quickly set up new shortcuts as needed, and Synapse software provides access to all Razer keyboard features and stores configuration files in the cloud. Most keyboards from Razer also feature anti-ghosting technology, which ensures each keystroke or macro is delivered correctly even when multiple keys are depressed at the same time.

Select Razer products further enhance interactivity by adding 10 dynamic keys and an 800 x 480 LCD touchscreen to the keyboard. The dynamic keys can store a tremendous number of commands, including custom macros, and the touchscreen lets users switch between key sets using gesture commands. The screen also serves as a trackpad pointer control or as a second display device that can show wallpaper or applications such as Web browsers or streaming videos.

An Illuminating Experience

Most keyboards and keypads from Razer feature backlights, which make it easy to work or play in low-light conditions. They also have advanced lighting controls that let users customize their keyboard's appearance. Change the backlight to one of 16.8 million colors, display a preset color pattern to highlight critical keys or use the Chroma Configurator to create a custom color set or animation that suits your personal tastes.

Extra Connections and Controls

Razer keyboards take control a step further by integrating multimedia controls and connections. Built-in play, pause, volume and track controls that work with both music and movie players simplify access to movies or music. A USB port and headphone and microphone jacks let users connect other peripherals directly to the keyboard instead of crawling beneath their desk to find the right connection.

Keyboards are a critical input device, and Razer improves these peripherals with custom macros, enhanced buttons and additional connection options. Explore the range of products available at Staples and find a Razer keyboard to meet the needs of the most demanding user.
