Pros
- Price is very competitive.
- Good weight to it.
- Quiet.
- Software is really useful and something you may not find on other lower-end keyboards.
- RGB logo is really bright.
- 1000Hz polling rate and 10 key roll over.
- Great range of shortcuts for such a low priced keyboard.
Cons
- Grease-prone material especially on the keys.
- Membrane keys aren't as satisfying as mechanical.
- A few rough edges on the back and sides of keyboard.
- Bulky design and framing around the keyboard.
- RGB LEDs are very dull and don’t even light up the key fully.
- Rubber cable kinks easily and isn’t great to look at.
KitGuru says: It's certainly not a perfect keyboard, but as an entry-level offering into the Razer ecosystem, we feel the Cynosa Lite has its place if you don't want to spend more than £50 on a gaming keyboard.
