Is the Razer Ornata V3 worth it?
Yes, if you want a cheap full-size board with a click.
Razer's Mecha-Membrane keys are membrane switches with a click like a blue mechanical switch, on low keycaps with a wrist rest that keeps long sessions comfortable. It's full size with a number pad and RGB lighting. The keys are fairly heavy and very loud, so it's no good for a shared room, and it drops the per-key lighting and volume knob of the older Ornata V2.

How we reached this verdict
RTINGS calls it a simple budget gaming keyboard: Mecha-Membrane switches with the ping of a clicky mechanical switch, comfortable for long periods thanks to the wrist rest and low keycaps, but with fairly heavy keys, very loud clicks and fewer features than the Ornata V2.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
