with slim keycaps for shorter travel distance and rapid-fire actuations. Your fingers will

simultaneous key presses to obliterate the competition more effortlessly. Every key
actuated at the same time will respond accurately in-game with zero lag.

letting you save personalized settings to a cloud server for convenient access anytime,
anywhere. Game add-ons that you’ve taken the time to configure will never need to
be set up from scratch again when they are ready for download and use with any Razer
DeathStalker connected to any computer. Driver and firmware updates are
downloaded automatically ensuring your keyboard is optimized for winning all the
time.
Fire up your lightning fast reflexes and competitive instincts with a fully back-lit gaming
keyboard designed for blazing fast actuations, empowering you to unleash as many
commands and macros as there are fingers on both your hands. Give no quarter with
