7/5/2023 0 Comments Ornata chromaI had fun playing around the customisation settings. You can also customise the RGB lighting effects using Razer Synapse 2.0 such as the speed, colours, patterns as well as reprogram keys according to your preferences. Here you can set up your own separate custom profiles for different and specific occasions, albeit gaming or work. I don’t really know how the wrist rest will hold over time though, especially the faux leather cover.Ĭustomising the Razer Ornata Chroma is surprisingly very easy using the Razer Synapse 2.0 software suite. So the “mecha-membrane” keys doesn’t really have any mechanical components per se as the clicking has no other purpose other than to give off the illusion of using a clicky mechanical keyboard. Unlike mechanical keys where the tactile feedback or the clicking sound matters because it’s an indication that it has passed the actuation point therefore registering a keystroke.ĭid I mention that I love the wrist rest the Razer Ornata Chroma came with? It’s a detachable magnetic rest very soft and pillowy with a faux leather cover. It gives off that familiar clicking sound a Razer Green or a clicky Cherry MX White gives off, minus the tactile feedback. I mean it doesn’t replace the satisfying tactile feel mechanical keys give you and you definitely know and feel that you are indeed typing with a membrane keyboard but somehow, it just works. However, much to my surprise, Razer’s “mecha-membrane” keys kinda work for me. So understandably I was very skeptical of this keyboard, especially when I saw that it has membrane keys. In fact, the louder the better in most cases ( mush to chagrin of my friends). I’m the kind of guy who loves loud keyboards. There are no extra bells and whistles, just a simple and clean layout with black keys against a matte black plastic body separated only by glossy white lines of its interior. There’s a quiet and unassuming beauty with the Ornata Chroma that took me pleasantly by surprise. The keys are raised in such a way that the space in between allows for more light to shine through which makes the keyboard look especially good with the RGB lighting effects turned on. It also has four rubber “feet” on each corner, two retractable stands on the upper section as well as a routing canal (to manage the keyboard’s braided cable) that runs from one end to the other. Even though it’s encased completely in plastic, t he keyboard is very well built and it has a very solid and sturdy feel to it. The keyboard doesn’t have an aluminium back like some keyboards, just plastic. As you can probably see, the Razer Ornata Chroma does not have any extra media keys or hot keys whatsoever. The keys are shallower in depth compared to a normal mechanical keyboard (again it has membrane keys) however Razer has risen the keys slightly to accommodate the “mechanical” functionality of the keys. The Ornata Chroma is definitely a membrane keyboard. There isn’t really anything else packaged together with the keyboard apart from separate magnetic wrist rest that is made with a faux leather material. You’ll also find the necessary paperwork tucked inside a pocket under the box lid together with a special letter from Razer’s co-founder and CEO, Ming-Liang Tan, congratulating the user on their purchase (as it is with other Razer products). On the inside you’ll the Ornata Chroma keyboard nestled between two hard foam wedges to keep the keyboard from moving around inside the box when it’s being carried around. On the back of the box we have images highlighting the features found on the Ornata Chroma such as the “mecha-membrane” keys, customisable lighting etc. Just a picture and the name of the the Ornata Chroma itself, Razer logo and a little cut out for users to test out the “mecha-membrane” keys. There isn’t too much going on in the front of the box.
