If the Razer Cynosa V2 is your first gaming keyboard, it'll impress. It's vibrant and eye-catching, helping the keyboard feel more expensive than it really is. The new per-key RGB lighting makes more of an impact. In fact, the only visible differences would be the media keys and the lack of a shiny logo panel at the bottom (the latter has been replaced by more subtle Razer branding engraved on the plastic). In fact, it's very similar to the Cynosa Chroma or the Essentials variant: it still hinges on a low-profile approach to go with black matte plastic. In terms of looks, the Cynosa V2 doesn't stray all that far from previous designs. Yes, it's lacking a wrist-rest and more durable keycaps, but you can't complain all that much at this price-point. Add in superior cable management and spill-resistance and you've got a device punching above its weight-class. The Razer Cynosa V2 now features volume, play, skip, and mute buttons on the top right-hand side to give greater control. The keyboard's biggest update would be the dedicated media controls, though. That makes it feel all the more arresting - not to mention premium. However, the V2 goes one better with new per-key backlit RGB lighting. The membrane design is still present, low-profile keys on a sleek black design remain, and a full numpad layout can still be found here.
This new and improved version of the Razer Cynosa doesn't try to break the wheel, either.
