Dmitry reviews the Razer Ornata V2 keyboard, priced at $99, focusing on its hybrid mechanical switches that offer a clicky feel with improved key rebound over the previous Ornata Chroma model. He details the added media keys and volume wheel, although noting the latter’s lack of tactile feedback, and a magnetic wrist rest that, despite thin foam padding, retains heat. The low-profile keycaps counterbalance its chunky frame, offering a matte texture and thin font for RGB lighting. While the non-removable cable has routing channels and a dual-step angle adjustment, the build, despite being plastic, shows good quality with no flex during use. However, the keyboard lacks spill and water resistance, a feature seen in cheaper models like the Corsair K55. Dmitry notes its mecha membrane switches are quieter but inconsistent in clicky feedback, and key wobbles are a downside. Given the minimal updates since 2017 and high price, he recommends considering alternatives such as the SteelSeries Apex 5.

In this segment, Dmitry discusses his experience and impressions of the Razer Ornata V2 keyboard. Priced at $99, Dmitry hesitated at first due to other options like the Huntsman T being slightly cheaper, but he acknowledges the value of the Ornata V2’s features. He appreciates the hybrid mechanical switch for its clicky feel, noting improvements over the original Ornata Chroma, particularly with better key rebound.
Key features highlighted include added media keys and a small volume wheel with good texture, though the volume steps lack tactility. The included magnetic wrist rest offers thin foam padding for comfort but becomes problematic due to heat retention. The keyboard’s low profile keycaps are designed to offset the chunky frame, featuring a matte texture and elegant, though slightly thin, font for RGB lighting. Despite being made of plastic, the build quality is decent with no flex during use. Other notable features are the non-removable cable with routing channels and dual-step angle adjustment. However, the keyboard is not spill or water-resistant despite appearances.

In this part of the video, the reviewer evaluates the Razer Ornata V2 keyboard, highlighting its mecca membrane clicky switches. These switches provide a satisfying softness upon bottoming out, but the clicky point is not as instantaneous and varies slightly across keys. The keyboard’s sound profile is quieter than traditional clicky switches, making it pleasant for typing, but the inconsistency and wobble of keys are noticeable issues. The reviewer compares the Ornata V2 to other competitive options, criticizing that it lacks features like water and spill resistance, which are present in cheaper alternatives like the Corsair K55. The segment concludes with the recommendation that, due to its high price and minimal updates since 2017, the Ornata V2 should be priced lower to remain competitive, and the reviewer suggests considering other options such as the SteelSeries Apex 5.
