Its about as good as any other keyboard that resembles a laptop.

I guess, i just can't deside which one i want.. Because i have never used the mechanical keyboard. But the Corsair Strafe RGB looks just amazing.

Just get anything you think looks good, is mechanical and fits your desired form factor, for instance I only get keyboards that don't have the number pad on the right (ie ten-keyless)

 

RGB is usually just a gimmick so manufacturers can sell more keyboards, but if it's something you want, power to you, also extra macro keys are usually gimmicky IMO to, but I imagine some people might have a niche use case for them.

 

Personally I use a Filco ninja tenkeyless with blank keycaps and reds.

Oh, an interest thing to know about the Razer Deathstalker, is it's pretty much Razer's version of the SteelSeries Apex line.

 

I notice sometimes SS release something and like 12 months later razer release a similar product, something fishy going on by the looks of it. Maybe Razer just likes to make copy cat products, I dunno.

The Deathstalker is flimsy crap. It's a laptop style keyboard for more money than you can get a basic mechanical keyboard, it makes no sense. If you're wanting the touch pad on the side too, then it costs even more, last time I checked, the neck end of £200. 

Honestly, save your money and buy a good quality keyboard rather than something that seems to have been ripped from a cheap laptop.

My answer to your question would be.....no. It is not worth getting the Razer Deathstalker.

I had the Deathstalker, and when I switched to mechanical, actually gave it away to my friend because it was so bad compared to mech keys.

I would say no I had one for 2 years and there are a few problems with it like you have to put pressure on the keys for them to activate and overall the build of the keyboard is not satisfying but thats my choice I upgraded to a Corsair K70 and I would recommend this keyboard as I love it!

Well, if you want to type on a laptop keyboard while on your desktop, it'd be a thing. And that's pretty much all there is to it. If you want extra functionality, there are better keyboards out there. If you want a better typing experience, there are better keyboards out there.
