Razer’s goal here was not merely to create a gussied-up membrane keyboard: These actually are switches that you can remove from their sockets, and they have a click, just like Blue switches or Razer’s Green switches (but no tactile bump). (One could argue that Topre and Romer-G switches already serve that very market, but, hey, options.) Blue Switch Lite? To hear Razer tell it, the company developed its Mecha-Membrane keyboard platform-and that’s really what it is, more than a “switch”-to serve consumers who prefer a softer, cushioney feel over what typical mechanical keyboards offer. We believe, then, that the switches are certainly different, but perhaps the new tolerances aren’t actually so tight. Some of the switches sounded and felt different than on the prototype, but others did not. However, we noticed a certain degree of inconsistency among the switches on the final Ornata. Subjectively, though, we noted that the sound of the “click” is less punchy on the newer version, and most of the switches feel less sticky. Razer has not responded with clarification on what, exactly, that means. Indeed, when we reached out to the company for additional information, we were told that the switches had been “refined” for “tighter tolerance, lighter actuation, and an overall better feel,” with “ a newer spring mechanism for a more refined click. We noted in our original coverage that the switches felt somewhat “sticky,” but Razer seems to have ameliorated that issue.
More pronounced is the difference in the feel of the switches. The plastic chassis looks to be slightly brighter and more textured, as well.
It appears that the key caps on the final Ornata have slightly more texture than on the prototype, and that should reduce shine a bit.
On first inspection, the differences between the prototype and the final version are negligible.
