Razer Ornata Chroma comes with Mecha-Membrane style keys
Razer Ornata Chroma is a brand new keyboard from the leading gaming peripheral maker that comes with all new Mecha-Membrane style keys. Mecha-Membrate is new type of key that combines the best of membrane rubber dome keys and mechanical switches. Razer Ornata Chrome is priced at $99.99 and Razer Ornata (with monochrome green backlighting) is priced at $79.99. You can purchase the Ornata Chrome and Ornata from RazerZone site (ships from 23rd of September).
Membrane keys are soft touch keys with very less noise but these keys are not as accurate as mechanical keys. Mechanical keys are known for fast response and perfect tactile feedback but they are very noisy. Razer Mecha-Membrane keys provide soft cushioned touch and tactile click in mi-height keycap architecture. Early reports suggest that this keyboard is one of the noisiest keyboard known to man. If this is the case, it will be a pleasure typing on this one.

“The Razer Mecha-Membrane is the result of years of research and development that we’ve dedicated to build the best keyboards for gamers,” says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder and CEO “When we moved to our own Razer Mechanical Switches in our production lines, we were excited to learn from real-use scenarios and apply that knowledge to perfect other technologies. The Razer Ornata is a great example of how our engineers can use feedback to innovate something truly amazing for gamers, in this case a solution that melds two seemingly disparate keyboard technologies for a phenomenal experience.”
The Razer Ornata Chroma also features individually backlit keys. Popular game titles like Overwatch, CoD come with built in lighting profiles (display tutorials, in-gam actions etc). The lighting can be customized using Razer Synapse and choose from 16.8 million colors. Ornata also has a detachable ergonomic wrist rest to avoid carpal tunnel syndrome like injury due to long gaming or typing sessions. For those who only need simple backlight, Razer Ornata with monochrome green backlighting will be avaialble in the market.
