Feature: This Razer Keyboard Has Two Bs: Pro Type Ergo Review
The Razer Pro Type Ergo is an ergonomic split keyboard that combines office functionality with gaming-focused RGB lighting. Its most innovative feature is a dual B key design—one positioned on each side of the split layout—which solves a major usability problem with traditional split keyboards. Typically, users must awkwardly reach across the centerline to type letters normally accessed by the opposite hand; the dual B key allows full-speed typing without this uncomfortable reach.
The keyboard departs from Razer’s mechanical switch reputation, instead using office-standard scissor switches with short travel distances similar to laptop keyboards. The layout also features non-standard key sizing, with exceptionally wide G, T, H, and 7 keys designed to reduce strain and improve ergonomic comfort.
While the dual B key solution genuinely improves usability for split keyboard users, the device carries a significant price premium. The reviewer notes it costs approximately twice what would be justified by its feature set, raising questions about its value proposition for consumers seeking an ergonomic keyboard alternative.
