Logitech MX Mechanical vs Razer Pro Type Ultra tested

245

Even though mini keyboards are popular now, most people still prefer full-sized keyboards. This is especially true for people who aren’t in creative fields and care more about having full functionality than saving room. And when I think of keyboards like this, we think of the Logitech MX Mechanical and the Razer Pro Type Ultra. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t also think about some of the other great full-sized mechanical keyboards out there.

For example, the newer Wombat Pine Pro, which we are currently trying, might be able to compete with these two. But because Logitech and Razer are well-known names and these two models have been written about a lot, they are currently among the most popular full-sized productivity boards. Not to mention that they are two of the best keyboards on the market.

Logitech MX Mechanical vs Razer Pro Type Ultra: Design

The 110-key Logitech MX Mechanical has a reduced profile at 26.10mm and a revolutionary backlighting technology that automatically adjusts to current lighting conditions and magically lights up when a user’s hands are detected. Logi Options+ lets you alter backlighting effects (press Fn + bulb key) and remap the F-row to special functions or app-specific settings. Three buttons provide easy device switching.

The 40mm-thick 104-key Razer Pro Type Ultra is more traditional. It lacks the MX Mechanical’s adaptive backlighting, but its wrist rest is comfortable and supportive. Razer Synapse 3 lets users assign macros and shortcuts to most keys and alter lighting brightness. Fn + 1, 2, or 3 can switch between connected devices. You can buy this keyboard from its official website.

Logitech MX Mechanical vs Razer Pro Type Ultra: specs and performance

Keyboards have mechanical switches and can link via Bluetooth or wirelessly. The way you type on each is different, though. The MX Mechanical from Logitech not only has low-profile buttons, but it also comes in three different kinds: tactile quiet, clicky, and linear. So, you have three options here based on what you like. Also, the Logi Bolt USB receiver that comes with it can connect up to 6 Logi Bolt wireless tools, which is helpful if you have more than one setup.

Razer’s Pro Type Ultra, on the other hand, only has the linear and quiet Razer Yellow mechanical switch. This keeps the noise level of typing in an office setting low, especially since the case of the board is lined with foam that absorbs noise.

On top of Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless, it also has a wired link, which is helpful if you need to charge and type at the same time. Its wireless dongle, on the other hand, can only connect a Razer Pro Click Mini and a laptop.

Logitech MX Mechanical vs Razer Pro Type Ultra: BATTERY

The Logitech MX Mechanical keyboard is hooked and does not have a battery, so it does not need to be charged. The Razer Pro Type Ultra, on the other hand, has a built-in battery that can last up to 12 hours with the lights on and up to 84 hours without it. It also has a USB-C port that makes charging easy, and you can use it while it’s charging. Overall, the Razer Pro Type Ultra is the better choice if you want a portable keyboard with a battery that is built in. But the Logitech MX Mechanical is a good choice if you want a wired link and don’t want to worry about charging.

Which one should you buy?

The Logitech MX Mechanical and Razer Pro Type Ultra are high-quality mechanical keyboards with distinct benefits. The Razer Pro Type Ultra has a built-in battery and can be used wirelessly for 12 hours with the backlighting on or 84 hours without it. It can charge through USB-C and be used while charging. Its configurable RGB lights and programmable keys make it adaptable for work and play.

If you prefer a connected connection and don’t want to worry about battery life or charging, the Logitech MX Mechanical is a wonderful choice. Its tactile feedback and audible click from Logitech’s GX Blue Clicky switches make it ideal for typing and gaming. It has configurable keys and white LED illumination.
