Razer’s DeathStalker V2 Pro TKL is down to $130 at Woot, a steep cut from its normal $219.99 price. The keyboard pairs a low-latency 2.4GHz wireless connection with low-profile linear optical switches that need a lighter touch than standard mechanical switches. The TKL design drops the numpad, freeing up desk room for your mouse.
The Keyboard Breakdown
The DeathStalker V2 Pro TKL trades the numpad for extra desk space. The optical switches are built for fast activations, requiring a lighter touch than regular mechanical switches.
Razer says the battery holds up to 200 hours with RGB lighting turned off, or up to 50 hours with the lights at half brightness. The keyboard also connects via USB-C and Bluetooth, so you can plug it in or keep it wireless depending on the device. Snap Tap, Razer’s term for Simultaneous Opposing Cardinal Directions (SOCD), lets you switch between two keys for strafing in first-person shooters. Valve has banned the tech in Counter-Strike 2, though.
Other Deals On The Board
The sale comes with three other discounts worth noting:
- The Witcher 3 Remastered is out now, and PC gamers can pick it up for $24.99 at Steam, GOG, and Epic Games. The Xbox and PlayStation versions also carry discounts. The remaster includes visual upgrades, changes 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 at $89.99, about half off its usual $199.99. The cube streams 4K video with Dolby Vision and HDR, Dolby Atmos audio, and hands-free Alexa controls. Its processor is twice as powerful as the Fire TV Stick 4K Max, making it a solid pick for Xbox Cloud Gaming.
- Costco members can get the Fellow Stagg EKG electric kettle for $99.99, a $30 discount from full price. The gooseneck kettle adds precise temperature control and quick heating to a coffee station.
Why The Discount Matters
The $130 price tag is a clear reduction from the normal $219.99. That is a meaningful drop for a keyboard that trades the numpad for desk room while keeping the low-latency wireless connection and the optical switches.
The battery life figures stand on their own. A 200-hour runtime with lighting off and a 50-hour runtime with lights at half brightness cover most typical use cases.
The USB-C and Bluetooth connectivity gives you options. You can plug it into a desktop computer or keep it wireless for a laptop. The Snap Tap feature is useful for quick strafing, even if Valve has banned it from Counter-Strike 2.
The Witcher 3 Remastered deal is worth tracking separately. A $24.99 price across Steam, GOG, and Epic Games is a strong entry point for a game that includes visual upgrades and both DLC entries. The Fire TV Cube and the Fellow Stagg EKG are smaller purchases, but both offer real value at their discounted prices.
The Bottom Line
This is a genuine deal on a keyboard that actually cuts features to gain desk room rather than adding bloat. The low-latency wireless connection and the optical switches are the selling points, and the battery life figures back up the promise.
The only real downside is the Counter-Strike ban on Snap Tap, but that affects one game, not your whole setup. The keyboard also loses the numpad, which might bother some users who need it for spreadsheets or finance work.
If you want a gaming keyboard that moves fast and saves desk space, this is the moment to buy it. The $130 price is a clear win, and the rest of the package backs it up.
