Title: Typing Demo XL - Razer Mecha-membrane (Razer Ornata)
Post by: chyros on Tue, 22 October 2019, 16:27:19
As requested, a TDXL of my Razer Ornata with mecha-membrane switches. I had forgotten what a pathetic piece of rubber crap this thing is xD . Comments on the sound appear to be rather polarised though! Hope you enjoy the video :) .

Honestly, it's not actually that bad.

Its level goes as far as "not bad" but it could always use some work

God this sounds awful, it sounds like a cheap rubberdome with some type of click jacket..

I dunno..having tried this in person I don't think it feels or sounds that bad...

It could use with a bit more stability but I don't think it is hugely problematic...It has a smooth feel with decent stability...I thought the fake click (blues are fake click as well) would bother me but it was less bothersome than expected and honestly, was a pretty pleasing sound.  I could also see this being used in environments where you want click but don't want it too loud...it was relatively quiet compared to most mech boards.

It had a decent bottom out feel but could be a bit more solid...

Overall, it was pretty decent...not sure it is worth the money but it isn't nearly as bad as some might make it out to be...
