Our Verdict

Razer Ornata Chroma

Razer Ornata V3 X

The Razer Ornata V3 X continues the Ornata lineup that includes the Razer Ornata Chroma. The two keyboards perform very similarly in terms of their latency; however, the Chroma has full RGB backlighting with individually customizable keys, while the V3 X has a single lighting zone that can only display one color at a time. Also, the Chroma uses Mecha-Membrane switches, while the V3 X uses membrane switches, so they don't have the audible "click.
