Question 1

Is this a mechanical Keyboard?

Accepted Answer

No- I can verify that this is not a mechanical keyboard.  I just had mine pulled apart to clean some sticky keys due to a spill.

Question 2

Does the Razer DeathStalker Expert Gaming Keyboard have Cherry MX Brown or Red switches???

Accepted Answer

Im not entirely sure on this one. But after using it it feels like brown. They are harder to press than an apple keyboard and they have a nice solid press. The chicklet keys are nice and flush with the board and it sounds like a dream even with chiklet keys. I hope this helped.

Question 3

Is it mechanical?

Accepted Answer

No its a membrane keyboard, Razer Black Widow keyboards are mechanical.

Question 4

Are you able to change the backlight color of the keys like the Deathstalker Ultimate?

Accepted Answer

No, you can only change the brightness

Question 5

Are the backlit keys dimmable ?

Accepted Answer

I believe they are dimmable if you install the Razer synapse program.

Question 6

does it have a usb port?

Accepted Answer

it plugs into USB but it has none on the keys anywhere for auxiliary function.

Question 7

Has anyone found a game this Keyboard is NOT compatible with??  I would presume not with the OS list, but what they say about assumption is right.  So I'd rather ask ahead of time.

Accepted Answer

So far this keyboard has worked with my collection of both games and across multiple OS platforms. In Windows, the keyboard can defaults to a original configuration as a normal keyboard without the convenience of switching to a gaming central. With the Razer software, configuring particular bindings and shortcuts is a breeze. Of course, what a keyboard can and cannot do ranges between the user and the users experience; especially software.

Question 8

Can you change the back light colors?

Accepted Answer

No you cannot

Question 9

How long is the cord?

Accepted Answer

I'd approximate roughly 4 feet: more than enough to use comfortably at your desk. Although if your setup is crazy enough to where this question is a legitimate concern, I'd suggest going with a cordless keyboard.

Question 10

How does the palm rest feel on your wrist after extended use?

Accepted Answer

feels about the same as any matte plastic wrist rest.  it grips the skin a little better but Its not uncomfortable at any point.  best keyboard I have ever owned by far.
