What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Razer Ornata Expert Mecha-Membrane Gaming Keyboard

Comfort (full size, wrist rest, comfortable material). I like this size.
The mid range size keys "clickyness" are about the sound of a rubber mat keyboard.
I love the lit background color and the size and functionality of the keyboard overall.
It is the right size and I think I can get use to the key interaction.
OMG! This keyboard is awesome. Really perfect size.

Razer Ornata Chroma Mecha-Membrane Gaming Keyboard

The mid-sized keys are great for my typing style and the chomalights are just fantastic.
I also love how these are medium keys rather than full-size. I can slide my fingers through the keys much faster and smoother with the medium-size keys.
This product is a full-size computer keyboard with colored under-lighting.
The keyboard is made out of a very quality plastic, and it's got a bit of weight to it so I don't see this thing breaking any time soon.
We had a larger Microsoft keyboard before this one, and this one is much smaller and compact.

What customers say about "Keys"

Razer Ornata Expert Mecha-Membrane Gaming Keyboard

All keys are where they should be, it has good old standard keyboard layout.
The keys feel amazing, and the light up options are super.
The Ornata keys are just a little higher and feel really responsive.
I'm a big fan of the mid-height keys.
The wrist pad is way comfortable and the clicky keys are delicious.

Razer Ornata Chroma Mecha-Membrane Gaming Keyboard

Great quality and feel, and the backlighting is very nice. Great for gamers and those who like a nice tactile response when typing!
You're limited by only your imagination when it comes to backlight design.
The keys very crisp and tactile, nice clicking noise, very fast responsive.
The backlight is nice but it could be brighter so that the effects really pop in a bright room. As it stands, the most bright colors (green for example) really pop in a fully lit room while the more subdued colors are less visible.
The Fire and Starlight modes are particularly awesome in a dark room, and lose some of their luster in a very bright room.

What customers say about "Features"

Razer Ornata Expert Mecha-Membrane Gaming Keyboard

Beautifully bright, individually-lit keys.
The lighting feature is super customizable. I preferred the feedback lighting.
Wrist Pad is comfy and the magnet attachment is a nice feature.
The removable wrist rest is comfortable cushion which makes long writing sessions enjoyable.
Built-in features have only partial functionality without using Synapse.

Razer Ornata Chroma Mecha-Membrane Gaming Keyboard

The keys feel great, with just the right amount of tactile feedback, and the layout of the keys is great for my Windows PC programming and book-writing tasks. I'm sure it works well for gamers too.
The USB cable is super nice and has a fabric outer covering.
Cables feel very strong.
It's lightweight and has a reinforced USB cable which is nice.
Free magnetic form-factor palm rest that easily clips to the keyboard.
Palm rest is faux leather, which is not very comfortable if you sweat a lot on your hands (this is a minor peripheral issue.
