Hey friends, Andrew here – hope you're well! Today we have an exciting video
because we're going to level up our desk setup with some new gear and not just
any ordinary gear but as you can probably see back here we've got some
Razer premium desk accessories so let's unbox these together see how we can elevate our desk
space with what they've sent over and a big thanks to Razer for sponsoring this video.
The very first desk accessory I'm really excited about is Razer's brand new flagship keyboard
the Razer Deathstalker V2 Pro replacing my Keychron K3 we've got both the full size and the
new 10 keyless version here i personally like the space saving tkl version but if you're someone who
works with a lot of numbers like maybe you know students accountants data entry specialists you'll
probably get more mileage out of the full size version since i've got two of these i'll be giving
away the full size keyboard so stay until the end of this video for the keyboard giveaway okay so
let's take a look at the keyboard's design out of the box and see how it fits on this desk it's
a pretty good looking high performance wireless keyboard featuring low profile optical switches
and more minimalistic than you'd expect from Razer it has a top case made of 5052 aluminium alloy and
the base is as slim as a penny at 21 millimeters it really appeals to my design preference for slim
minimalist keyboards because i personally like fewer items on my desk and what i do have is
always high quality intentional accessories and this keyboard fits that mold if you're possibly
anti-minimalist and you enjoy rgb lighting these keycaps on the death stalker are actually
laser etched so the rgb lighting truly shines in the dark i think one of the most attractive things
about this keyboard is the fact that it looks great in a minimalist desk setup for productivity
as much as it does in a gaming setup with dozens of rgb lights equivalent to an illuminated unicorn
after it's had a few drinks so okay sure it looks great in this setup but how's the performance this
is probably where this flagship keyboard truly shines in this desk setup for starters this thing
lasts a way longer than my kikron k3 keyboard which frustrated me a lot all the time because
it run out of battery by the end of every day or before the end of every day and now i'm almost
getting a week of continuous usage and that's me typing on it practically all day for work
and some gaming at night most importantly the connectivity performance of this keyboard is
second to none with its polling rate of 998 hertz bluetooth 5.0 and adapter frequency 2. there's
practically zero input lag from system wake up to typing and dare i say it gaming on wireless
is actually great this is the only keyboard i think i'd consider using wirelessly for both
gaming and work so it helps achieve you know the ultra clean setup look that i'm personally going
for instead of using two different keyboards for two different tasks and speaking of gaming
the linear optical switches are ultra responsive playing a couple rounds of warzone and running
around the visually amazing world of metro exodus a great but pretty graphically intensive game the
lag free input and snappy keystrokes was a welcome change from other wireless keyboards i've used
the wasd movement never felt crispier especially compared to my key crown but of course
it would be in comparison because kikron's not made for gaming to be fair
these nifty customizable rollers and media buttons here are also useful in controlling
things like volume and screen brightness and of course the typing experience is brilliant i love
me a good asmr typing test and it seems many of you do too so i'll type away for a little
bit so you guys get an idea of what this keyboard sounds like with its red linear optical switches
personally the red linear switches are a little too soft for my liking so i'm looking forward to
the clicky version of this keyboard in q4 though if you prefer quiet typing red linear switches
is the one to go for and a heads up you will need to fork up almost 250 us dollars for
the full size variant but the premium price does come with premium features to be fair
you can get the 10 keyless version to save space on your desk or the wired version for a more
affordable 219 dollars and 199 dollars respectively i'll drop all the direct
product links in the description box below and now moving on to the next razer desk accessory
this orochi v2 mouse to marry up with the keyboard.
out of the box it's definitely a pretty small mouse it also comes though at a pretty small
price tag of $69.99 and there's a textured frame here and it feels really good in hand considering
it weighs 60 grams or 2.2 ounces which is next to nothing it feels like you're holding nothing
at all holding it in hand right now though it fits pretty well in my hand but for those with i think
extra large hands you might find it tough palming this mouse unless you've got a sort of like
bent over claw grip here it pairs pretty nice next to the death stalker v2 pro aesthetically
mainly because it's also in a minimalist black but the cool thing here is it pairs to the very
same high speed dongle used by the deathstalker v2 pro which means less dongles less cables less
clutter in my desk setup because i'll be using this keyboard and mouse combo with
both my mac and pc setup i plug the dongle into my pc which doesn't have a bluetooth receiver
so now all i have to do to switch between pc and mac is flick these switches here on the
mouse and keyboard and then just switch over the monotone input from displayport to hdmi
super simple and with that it's time to get gaming
if you're not used to a gaming mouse or you haven't even used one at all
you're going to really feel the difference here with the 18 000 dpi sensor and that's what i felt
in counter strike it's just so much more smoother and much more precise i can flick my crosshair to
essentially where i want it much faster and more precisely and get those satisfying headshots in
i can see this mouse being a great travel companion alone and even a great companion
for students actually so i'm definitely going to be using the death stalker v2 pro
as my main keyboard here on out for sure but i think i'll probably be storing this mouse
off to the side and picking it back up to use with the death stalker for those gaming sessions
and then we come to the premium headphones to tie this set of new desk accessories together
let's take this barracuda pro out of the box
For Razer this is surprisingly sleek in its minimal black look with no boom microphone
you typically see on other gaming headsets no complaints here from me i've got other microphone
inputs so i can do without it on my headphones and i think it looks fine nicer this way anyway
it again makes for a pretty good pairing with the keyboard and mouse sitting together on a
desk for both work and play i think it's fair to say that these are Razer's more unassuming set
of accessories anyway taking a closer look at the build quality it's primarily plastic but it feels
decent probably thanks to its interior stainless steel headband and a ton of memory foam cushioning
the plastic does lend itself though to a lighter weight design so it practically eliminates
horizontal and vertical pressure on my head and the memory foam is plump enough for extended use
plump is such a weird word you think it's designed to connect to a usb dongle you get in the box for
gaming and we also get bluetooth connectivity for when you're out and about but just a heads
up here there is no headphone jack so this isn't going to be something you want to take on a plane
minus that fact though these headphones are feature packed with large 50 millimeter drivers
active noise canceling dual wireless smart switching system thx spatial audio and the
ability to tweak audio with the companion app this all translates to really strong mids and highs
clear tones and deep rumbly bass that tickles my eardrums for games like counter-strike go the thx
spatial audio game mode presets was rather amazing i think for hearing directionality so i knew
exactly where the enemy footsteps were coming from far far easier than my QC35s or desktop speakers
this thing lasts over 40 hours on a single charge so it actually makes a great travel companion
especially with an included travel case as much as it does make great headphones parked on your desk
i've got mine sitting here on grovemate's wooden headphone stand that complements a premium look
of the entire set drop the codeword comments razor sharp if you made it to the end of this
