SeekerRazer Cynosa V2
The Razer Cynosa V2 is a great keyboard for gaming. Despite scoring much better than the original Razer Cynosa Chroma, it offers a very similar typing experience and feels almost identical. It has customizable RGB backlighting. Unfortunately, it uses ABS plastic keycaps which feel very slippery. Also, the switches are very light and may not be the best choice for hardcore gaming.

The Razer Cynosa V2 offers decent RGB functionality and a few helpful bells and whistles, although it never quite transcends its membrane design.

The Razer Cynosa V2 continues the hardware maker’s ability to create quality budget friendly gaming keyboards. Not only does it improve upon its predecessor’s design but also adds more functionality through individually lit RGB keys and media controls.

The Razer Cynosa V2 has plenty going for it and makes the most of its membrane key switches. There are a couple faults in its design that make it troublesome outside of gaming, but it shines in the thick of battle. At $60, it’s easy to recommend for anyone seeking consistent gaming performance.
