It does not have the ‘any key, any color’ capabilities of many higher-end gaming keyboards, such as the Razer Blackwidow Chroma, Logitech G910, or Corsair K95 RGB. The Deathstalker Chroma’s lighting is handled in zones and layers (profiles). It would certainly be a reasonably suitable traveling companion (despite its fixed wrist rest, which adds to its size) if that’s your thing.
In addition, the Deathstalker Chroma is very lightweight, low profile, and it only requires a single USB port (vs. Razer is particularly proud of their innovative, new and improved rubber dome technology, which is paired with low-profile, chiclet keycaps and yields a very short travel and actuation distance of 2mm-half that of standard rubber dome switches.

The Deathstalker Chroma ditches the Switchblade UI and adds new and improved rubber dome switches with Chroma lighting, the combination of which drops its price into more reasonable ($99) territory.
(Aside from the Deathstalker Ultimate’s ability to assign LOLcat pictures to keys along with complex macros, I found little worthy of a strong recommendation.) Sure, it boasts cool technology, but at a price tag well above the vastly superior and more functional Razer Blackwidow mechanical keyboards, as well as numerous other competitor keyboards. The original Razer Deathstalker Ultimate, which includes Razer’s Switchblade UI, is an expensive ($249), non-mechanical keyboard that’s as flashy as it is (ultimately) functionally deficit. Meet the Deathstalker Razer Deathstalker Chroma (Credit: Razer) In other words, the Deathstalker Chroma occupies a difficult space-the premium non-mechanical gaming keyboard with a price that still puts it in mechanical keyboard territory.
But even the Deathstalker Chroma’s (relatively) modest $99 price tag still stings a bit, and it can’t quite address the mechanical keyboard elephant in the room. Razer redesigns the rubber dome and delivers faster, quieter, and more colorful gaming with the Razer Deathstalker Chroma gaming keyboard.
