Our Verdict

Corsair K68 RGB

Razer Ornata Chroma

The Razer Ornata Chroma and Corsair K68 RGB are very similar keyboards. The Ornata has hybrid mechanical switches while the Corsair uses Cherry MX switches. The Ornata feels slightly better built, and its wrist rest is slightly more comfortable. If you listen to music when playing, the Corsair has very useful dedicated media keys.
