Razer Deathstalker Ultimate Owner's Manual
Experience a new level of game interaction and control with the Razer DeathStalker
Ultimate gaming keyboard, designed with Razer’s award-winning Switchblade User
Interface. It features ten adaptive tactile keys so that you can configure an unlimited
number of key binds, macros, skills, and spells from any game. With customizable
iconography to match your personalized control layout, you’re getting the most
immersive gaming experience from your keyboard.
The LCD panel on the Switchblade UI is capable of two modes. The first is a vibrant, fullcolor display that delivers information display as well as letting you run your media
player or web browser from the screen without the need to exit your game
domination. Alternatively, use it as a secondary mouse input device with intuitive
gesture controls. With the Switchblade User Interface, you have everything you need
to win available at your fingertips. No excuses.
Anti-ghosting is now available for up to ten keys over the entire fully-programmable
back-lit keyboard. This means that all ten of your fingers can each actuate a command,
with all ten commands precisely registering within the game. To destroy the enemy,
don’t just use one or two attacks, use ten.
Save all your settings automatically to Synapse 2.0, our own cloud system and sync
them automatically with one account, no matter where you are. Stalk your prey and
unleash a flurry of devastation with all of the controls at your disposal on the Razer
DeathStalker Ultimate.
