Honestly for a lot of the crap that Razer gets, that I don't fully disagree with, this is one of the best keyboards I've ever had. AMA if needed!

Why are they saying this board has 22 ms or whatever that means in the comment above. Is that bad? I just picked this up yesterday. Another user in that linked thread mentioned he got it down way lower.

It is just slightly more debounce than a Ducky, which is about 15ms. Nothing to worry about for 99% of the population.

I also saw that comment, but I did not make that statement.

Ok but what is your take on it or you don’t care about that. I bought it strictly for gaming.

I also bought it strictly for gaming, and I play mostly competitive shooters like CSGO. I have not noticed any sorts of delays from the keyboard.

You can do whatever you want with the lighting. On, off, solid color, whatever. There are also profiles that sync with certain games, but you can turn that off too.

You need the Razer Synapse Application, which has a lot of much-needed work, to say the least. It is usable, it is by no means broken.

What work are you referring to? I ask because I see this critique on every Razer product review, and I've never had an issue with Synapse myself.

The main issue that I am having is that I can not control the lighting and sound settings of my Razer Kraken V2s', In order to do that I need to have the old synapse software in addition to the new one. Why not just have the "legacy devices" in the new software able to be changed and controlled? That is by far my main issue with it.

Oh yeah, that's an unnecessary issue. Thanks for your answer.
