For those PC gamers that are looking to upgrade their set up, or perhaps getting some early holiday shopping done, Razer has announced two brand new gaming keyboards in their Chroma line. Both options are fantastic for two simple reasons: both are water resistant and neither will break the bank. The two announced keyboards are the website exclusive Cynosa Chroma Pro for $79.99, and the Cynosa Chroma available for pre-order at the $59.99 price point.

So what's the difference between the two peripherals?

The Cynosa Chroma Pro - $79.99

The Cynosa Chroma Pro offers an extensive level of personal customisation from individual key assesment and colour assignment, to the fully programmable colour spectrum pronounced in the underglow.

  • Featuring individually programmable backlit keys and 16.8 million color options. Choose from preloaded lighting effects or create your own unique palette of colors for a gaming experience that's truly yours–all set easily through Razer Synapse 3 (Beta).
  • Featuring Razer Chroma underglow with 24 customization zones on the left, right and front of the keyboard, now you have even more ways to illuminate your gameplay and watch your keyboard come to life.
  • Our soft cushioned gaming keys provide comfort with better housing support compared to rubber dome keyboards, so every keypress is solid. With each stroke, experience full key travel and responsiveness so you can be assured of striking with deadly precision no matter what game you play.
  • Finally, a keyboard that's uniquely yours. With Razer Synapse 3 (Beta), you can rebind buttons, assign macros, personalize device lighting and more to transform your gameplay just the way you want it. There's no limit to what this unified hardware configuration tool can do, so get personal.

The Cynosa Chroma - $59.99

The Cynosa Chroma is almost exactly the same as its Pro version with a 20 dollar price drop, and sans the under glow. The keys will be completely customisable, but the underneath portion of the peripheral will be standard.
