The monochrome green backlit version, though, is $79.99.

The RGB version, Ornata Chroma, is $99.99 but I really have no desire to look at my keyboard ever so that's a luxury I don't need. You know what else is nice? This keyboard isn't even $1,000.

While most of them have found it pleasant, I've heard a couple people say 'ew.' So that's understandable, a keyboard is a matter of taste, and Razer just happens to have found mine. A bunch of my co-workers have tried out the keyboard, although I never let them get too comfortable. I should note that this specific feel isn't for everybody. Even if they have a hair trigger and I don't have to bottom them out to register my keypresses, years of laptop typing has trained me to bounce off my keys and Razer Ornata is all about bounce. This I think is the key for me, because I find most mechanical keyboards too much work. Still, there's a satisfying amount of motion so you feel like you're doing something. The other design choice that's neat about this keyboard is that it's 'mid-height' so you don't end up traveling as far as a traditional mechanical keyboard. This is the clickiest keyboard known to man The other thing that's distinct is that unlike many mechanical keyboards, the keys feel really 'tight' so you don't hear a lot of plastic moving around aimlessly - you push, they click, they unclick, and that's it. Which makes it sounds like IвЂ™m typing at double speed. Part of what makes the keyboard sound so distinct is that it 'clicks' both on the way down, and on the way up, at identical volumes. Here, just watch this video and maybe you'll understand:Дid you hear that? It sounds like I'm typing like a madman! It sounds like I'm popping the world's tiniest bubble wrap at 1,000 bubbles per minute. This is the clickiest keyboard known to man! I know there are clicky keyboards out there, many of them based on the Cherry MX Blue switches which are specifically described as 'clicky,' but Mecha-Membrane is a whole other species. Got it? Wrong, you don't understand anything. Here, let's look at this GIF for a while: Razer Razer calls this new tech 'Mecha-Membrane,' and has built it into its all-new Razer Ornata keyboard. Razer decided to blend mechanical switches and rubber domes to make the best of both worlds, and in fact has created a Frankenstein's monster that's an absolute joy to use and a terror to listen to. It feels badass to mash into a great keyboard with Cherry switches when I'm playing games, or for a brief session of pseudo typing, but when I actually want to be a productive writer I typically default back to thin, mushy laptop-style keyboards. Mechanical keyboards are great, but they're rarely practical.
