Razer’s low-latency wireless gaming keyboard is almost half off
Woot has the Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro TKL on sale for $130, a significant discount from its usual $219.99 price point. This keyboard is built for competitive gaming, with a low latency 2.4GHz wireless connection, and low-profile linear optical switches for faster activations that require a lighter touch than regular mechanical switches. The TKL layout cuts the numpad, but affords you more desk space for your mouse.
Razer claims the battery will last up to 200 hours with the RGB lighting off, or up to 50 hours with the lights at half brightness. If you’re interested in staying wired, or using the keyboard wirelessly with other devices, it has both USB-C and Bluetooth connectivity. You can also enable Snap Tap (Razer’s term for Simultaneous Opposing Cardinal Directions, or SOCD), which lets you quickly swap between two keys for strafing in first person shooters, for example, although it’s worth nothing that Valve has banned the tech in Counter-Strike 2.
Other deals to consider
- The remastered version of The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt just released, and a number of retailers are celebrating with discounts. While the list price is $49.99, PC gamers can grab the game for $24.99 at Steam, GOG, and Epic Games, with discounts available for the Xbox and PlayStation versions as well. The remastered version includes visual upgrades, tweaks to progression and skills, and both DLC entries: Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine.
- Best Buy has the third-generation Amazon Fire TV Cube discounted to $89.99, just over half off its usual price of $199.99. This square streamer supports 4K video with Dolby Vision and HDR, Dolby Atmos audio, and hands-free Alexa controls. With a processor that Amazon claims is twice as powerful as the Fire TV Stick 4K Max, it’s also a great option for Xbox Cloud Gaming.
- Costco members can grab the Fellow Stagg EKG electric kettle for $99.99, a $30 discount from the usual price. I use this gooseneck kettle for my morning espresso, and I’m constantly impressed by its excellent temperature control and quick heating, and it adds a stylish touch to my coffee station.
