The ProType is thin-just under one inch at the thickest point-with no incline, making for a fairly ergonomic setup (assuming your desk area is set up properly) two pop-out legs can raise the rear of the keyboard almost half an inch if desired. And that wrist rest includes a large, pulsing-blue-backlit logo that serves no real purpose. On the other hand, while part of the ProType’s additional front-to-rear size is due to the presence of an iPod dock (also discussed below), over two inches of that dimension are taken up by the keyboard’s non-removable wrist rest. The good news is that most of the left-to-right space is put to good use, as the ProType includes lots of special keys and buttons (discussed below). Wide loadĪt 20.2 inches wide by 8.7 inches deep, the ProType is perhaps the largest keyboard I’ve seen-so large that on at least one of the keyboard drawers I tested it with, the ProType didn’t leave enough room on either side for sufficient mousing space. It’s an interesting idea that mostly works well, but it does have a few minor issues. If you’re looking for a new keyboard, and you’ve also got an iPod or iPhone, Razer’s ProType aims to clean up some desk clutter by combining a full-featured keyboard with an iPod dock.
