Razer Ornata V3
The Razer Ornata V3 is a decent gaming keyboard. It's comfortable to use thanks to the ergonomic features and included wrist rest. You can also customize the RGB backlighting and program macros to any key using the companion software. However, the pre-travel distance on the mecha-membrane switches is fairly long, so keypresses don't feel very instantaneous. Also, its latency isn't fast enough for competitive or reaction-based games, so it doesn't feel very responsive.
