Razer has refreshed its Cynosa gaming keyboard. Called the Cynosa V2, the new keyboard follows the announcement of the Huntsman Mini, which Razer unveiled earlier this month. Razer has focused on value with the Cynosa V2, but the keyboard should still offer the features that most gamers would want.

The Cynosa V2 features individually backlit keys that, unsurprisingly, support Razer Choma RGB lighting. The keybord also supports Razer Synapse 3 for creating keyboard profiles and macros and features dedicated media keys. Razer has included some cable routing options too and claims that the Cynosa V2 is spill-resistant. The company stresses that the keyboard can only "shrug off minor spills" mind you.

Full N-Key rollover is available on the Cynosa V2 too, as is 1,000 Hz polling. The Razer Cynosa V2 retails for US$59.99, €69.99 in the Eurozone and £59.99 in the UK.
