The Pro Type uses Razer's tactile “Orange” switches. Compared to most Razer keyboards, the keys require a slightly stronger press. The Pro Type can sync with up to four devices simultaneously. It's not something you need all the time, but it comes in handy you use multiple devices every day.
Pros
  • Sleek design
  • Excellent battery life
  • Comfortable keycaps
  • USB-C charging cable
  • Supports Synapse configuration software
Cons
  • Battery life could be better

The Razer Pro Type is excellent for gaming. The Razer Orange switches are easy to actuate, and their short pre-travel distance provides incredible responsiveness. Every key is programmable, but sadly, there aren't any dedicated macro keys for MMO games. Due to its Bluetooth support, it can connect to most mobile devices.
Pros
  • Excellent typing experience
  • Outstanding tactile feedback
  • Good build quality
  • Well-built, well-built design
  • Excellent typing acrobatics
Cons
  • No software support for customization
  • No dedicated macro keys for MMO games
  • Very high profile

The Razer Pro Type is part of Razer's latest productivity collection of peripherals aimed at the office and remote worker. It features a softer off-white and silver color scheme, backed up by white LED lighting underneath the keys. The keys themselves are a dream to type on and the mechanical clicks are more muted than the typical mechanical keyboard. The keyboard's biggest problem is its wireless connectivity.
Pros
  • Attractive design
  • Excellent battery life
Cons
  • Backlighting seems counterintuitive
  • Backlighting feels counterintuitive
