Our Verdict

Razer Ornata V2

Corsair K55 RGB PRO

The Razer Ornata V2 and the Corsair K55 RGB PRO are full-sized, wired keyboards, but the Razer is a slightly better gaming keyboard. The Razer has full RGB backlighting with individually-lit keys, one additional incline setting, and a volume wheel. It also has clicky Razer Mecha-Membrane switches and provides good typing quality, but its software isn't compatible with macOS. On the other hand, the Corsair has significantly better latency and onboard memory for customization profiles. It has tactile rubber dome switches and provides an okay typing quality.
