The Green mechanical switches have a linear motion with a softer click than Cherry MX Blue switches, and require less force to activate the switch. You can also tilt the palm grip forwards or backwards, although none of these things will help someone with small hands and short fingers. The wrist rest and the thumb buttons can be extended outwards for comfort and for larger hand sizes. The normal aches I get from gaming on my keyboard mostly go away while using it, so there’s some benefit to those of you with existing signs of RSI or carpal tunnel. Designed for extended use while gaming or working, the keypad fits into the hand really snugly and has a wrist rest covered with soft-touch rubber. Out of the box, the Orbweaver duplicates functionality of four rows of keys around the WASD area on a traditional keyboard – specifically from tilde to “4”, TAB to “R”, Caps Lock to “F”, and Shift to “V”.Įrgonomically, the Orbweaver Chroma is very comfortable to use. The Orbweaver has 20 keys within reach of your fingertips, along with an eightway thumb-pad, as well as a pedal designed to be used by your thumb as well. The Orbweaver Chroma is an updated version of the 2013 Orbweaver, now featuring per-key RGB backlighting and Razer Green switches made especially for the company by Kailh, a mechanical switch designer based in China. While it shares none of the design, it serves the same purpose. The Orbweaver is functionally similar to the chorded keyset that Engelbart used all those years ago.
