Gifts for Gamers – Razer Ornata V2

The Razer Ornata V2 keyboard is the perfect gift for the tech and gaming fanatics on your list!

Got Boys?

Chances are you have boys obsessed with gaming in the house and you are definitely not alone! With three pre-teen/teen boys in our family, it can feel a lot like ‘all gaming, all the time’!

Shopping for gamers can be particularly difficult because all the new and exciting tech on the market can often be confusing and the price tag of the products can get really high.

My oldest has been dreaming about saving up enough money for a gaming computer for some time and even though it might take him time for that, other pieces like a gaming mouse or keyboard are definitely within  reach.

My boys game to stay connected with friends.

While once, I used to grumble about the amount of time the boys spent on screens, during this year of Covid 19, it’s actually been amazing.

We moved last December and the boys didn’t get a lot of time to make new friends in our new area before the schools shut down in March.

Instead of complaining about being bored and not having anyone to hang out with, they quickly gravitated online to reconnect with their old friends from back home.

Between online learning and staying connected to their community of friends, our computer got a lot of use and really kept the boys learning and entertained. 

Razer Ornata V2

Looking for gifts for gamers? A keyboard upgrade is always a fun idea, especially when it comes with funky rainbow backlights! And trust me, teens are all about the mood lighting these days! 

The Ornata V2 is the new mecha-membrane gaming keyboard from Razer. Whether your computer is for gaming, working from home or both, this full sized mulit-functional keyboard is a great fit!

Powered by Razer Chroma RGB

The most striking feature of the Ornata V2 is hands down the incredibly cool rainbow coloured RGB backlighting that can be completely customized.

There are 16.8 million colours and a suite of effects to choose from, such as wave, breathing, fire, ripple effect and even a setting that will bounce between shades of green, yellow, orange and red based on your computer’s audio level.

Whether it’s enhancing your immersion through Chroma-integrated games, or designing your dream gaming setup, Razer offers a level of RGB lighting customization that can’t be found anywhere else.

You’ll love that the Razer Ornata V2 comes with a soft, cushy wrist rest that attaches magnetically to the keyboard and makes it more comfortable to use over longer periods of time. 

The dedicated media keys and volume control wheel at the top right of the  keyboard means you can adjust on the fly and it also has Windows key lock to enable game mode. The cable cannot be detached so you can’t go wireless but there is an extra long braided cable and routing options on the bottom to keep things tidy. 

This keyboard also has 2-step extendable legs on the bottom so you can choose your incline level to suite you.

Fusing the snappy, clicky feedback of a mechanical switch with the familiar, cushioned feel of a conventional keyboard, each keystroke you make on the Razer Ornata V2 is as satisfying as it is precise.

This Razer keyboard offers a smooth typing quality that has a soft click that isn’t too loud.  In Razer’s own words, the Ornata V2 “combines the best of both worlds by providing a soft cushioned touch for gaming comfort, along with a crisp tactile click”.

With fully programmable keys and an amazing light performance, the Razer Ornata V2 is a great choice for gamers that can do double duty for those working remotely or learning remotely – Razer tech transitions seamlessly from work to play!
