Razer Ornata keyboard?

I just bought the Razer Ornata keyboard, I have upgraded from the Logitech K260 is it worth using it, I can return it as I have no opened it, just don't know?

 

Any thoughts? Thanks

If overpriced membrane keyboards are your thing, sure.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

thought its a bit of both? Never tried mechanical so don't know what they are like, i think I have tried one and it was way to loud.

The Ornata is the single loudest keyboard I have ever seen.

I use a mem-chanical right now and can say theyre not too bad, but not for $100, you can get rgb ones for a lot cheaper and real mechanical for about the same price.
Are membranes bad? No
Are $100 membranes bad? Yes

mechanical feels better and are better key switches but for some people like me, i still use membrane because i mechanical keycaps are to high for my preference.

FFs, there is like no good information about keyboards tbh..

LTT and the mechanical keyboards Subreddit are my two usual sources of info, along with personal experience. But mostly the first two.

Yeah hence why I asked lol, just don't know to either return it or use it :(

Return it, pick this up instead. Has Cherry-MX (Nice mechanical switches) for probably less than you paid. No RGB tho
