Razer DEATHSTALKER User Manual

0 | For gamers by gamers™
The Razer DeathStalker gaming keyboard delivers merciless power when it is designed
with slim keycaps for shorter travel distance and rapid-fire actuations. Your fingers will
be flying across the low-profile keys at lightning speed and in comfort, executing
commands for your master plan faster than enemies can react.
Unlike traditional keyboards that can only register up to 3 simultaneous key presses,
the superior anti-ghosting technology built into the Razer DeathStalker allows up to ten
simultaneous key presses to obliterate the competition more effortlessly. Every key
actuated at the same time will respond accurately in-game with zero lag.
The revolutionary Razer Synapse 2.0 software powers the Razer DeathStalker’s brain,
letting you save personalized settings to a cloud server for convenient access anytime,
anywhere. Game add-ons that you’ve taken the time to configure will never need to
be set up from scratch again when they are ready for download and use with any Razer
DeathStalker connected to any computer. Driver and firmware updates are
downloaded automatically ensuring your keyboard is optimized for winning all the
time.
Fire up your lightning fast reflexes and competitive instincts with a fully back-lit gaming
keyboard designed for blazing fast actuations, empowering you to unleash as many
commands and macros as there are fingers on both your hands. Give no quarter with
the Razer DeathStalker.
