It’s very solid with a good heft that won’t have it sliding around the desk every time you tap a key. The plastic has a subtle sandy texture that gives it a bit of grip – not that you’d need it.Įven with the plastic build, the Cynosa feels anything but cheap. It’s a sturdy plastic build with no defining marks, etches or otherwise gamey flourishes. It’s your standard keyboard design and if not for the RGB lighting, you’d think it was just another office keyboard. Keeping things essential, you won’t find anything special about the overall design of the Cynosa V2. At $120, it’s a wee bit above the magical $99 number that makes you think ‘budget keyboard’ but, is it worth your time? What you do get is a relatively simplistic keyboard that covers the essentials well and sprinkles it all with a dose of RGB lighting. No fancy key switches or metal volume dials and certainly no space-age metal alloys here. Razer calls it the essential RGB gaming keyboard and that’s exactly what it is. However, that price range is still pretty high for most people which is why something like the Razer Cynosa V2 exists. Mechanical gaming keyboards are almost ubiquitous with something for everyone and in every price range.
