Razer’s wireless TKL gaming keyboard discounted to $130 at Woot
The Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro TKL wireless gaming keyboard is on sale at Woot for $130, down from its usual $219.99. Its low-latency wireless connection and light, low-profile optical switches are aimed at competitive gaming, while the tenkeyless layout frees up desk space for mouse movement.
Razer says the battery lasts up to 200 hours with RGB lighting off or 50 hours at half brightness. The keyboard also supports USB-C and Bluetooth, and includes Snap Tap for switching between opposing keys; Valve has banned that feature in Counter-Strike 2. The article also notes discounts on The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt, an Amazon Fire TV Cube and a Fellow Stagg EKG kettle.
In short
- Razer’s tenkeyless wireless gaming keyboard is $130, reduced from $219.99.
- Battery life is up to 200 hours with lighting off.
- Snap Tap is included, but banned in Counter-Strike 2.
Explained simply
Razer is a major manufacturer of gaming peripherals and has built a reputation for keyboards designed for competitive play. The DeathStalker V2 Pro is a tenkeyless (TKL) keyboard, meaning it omits the number pad found on standard keyboards to save desk space, a preference among gamers who need room for their mouse.
Gaming keyboards often prioritise low-latency wireless connections and responsive switches to reduce input lag in competitive matches. This model features Razer's optical switches, which are lighter and faster to activate than traditional mechanical switches, and its 200-hour battery life with lighting off is designed to minimise frequent charging.
The keyboard includes Snap Tap, a feature that allows faster switching between opposing keys by registering both presses simultaneously, which some consider an advantage in fast-paced games. However, competitive games police such features; Valve notably banned Snap Tap from Counter-Strike 2 due to concerns about fairness.
