All white design, can get dirty very easily, iPod dock useless for users that have pullout keyboard trays
Its about time someone has integrated an iPod dock into a keyboard! Almost everyone I know has an iPod and what an easier way to listen to their music if I can just put their iPod right into my keyboard. I dont have to go look for my docking cable. ...
Built-in iPod dock saves desktop space, Great looks, Fantastic typing feel
Not as programmable as the Tarantula twin and it costs more
If you are looking for a keyboard and typing feel is one of the most important things you are looking for, it is hard to beat the Razer pro|type keyboard. In addition to great typing feel the pro|type has programmable macros and a built-in iPod dock to...

Less customization and higher price than Razers gaming keyboard of similar design.
We wish Razer had considered the value proposition a bit more with its iPod dock-equipped ProType keyboard, but if you think minimized cable clutter is worth an extra $30 and the loss of some configurability, youll find yourself with an attractive key...
There's much to like about the Pro|Type, but the domineering size and high price mean it won't be for everyone. That said if the idea of an iPod dock on your keyboard appeals then this is a great option because despite its size, it's still a great looking...

The Pro|Solutions Pro|Type from Razer is one of the best keyboards out there. The unique combination of an iPod dock and keyboard makes the Pro|Type a nice buy because you get the functionality of an iPod dock along with a great keyboard. Not only does...

What makes a keyboard great? The answer will depend on who you ask, and vary a lot from person to person: some people like a medium-sized keyboard with soft, whisper-quiet keys, others prefer the precision and clicking of a tiny keyboard with scissor k...

This keyboard definitely deserves the name “Professional” for how it looks and behaves. The keys do not require much force to push and your fingers slide gracefully over the keyboard when you are typing. The customizable buttons on the left an...

Abstract: Of all the wild and wacky iPod docks we’ve seen in the past couple of years, it’s odd that no one has thought to integrate one into a keyboard – it seems to be the most logical place. Well, now someone has. Razer, manufacturer of high-en...
Abstract: Razer Pro sees the company stepping into the office for the first time, and, strangely, this move from the gaming den to the office doesn't feel too jarring. The $139.99 Razer Pro Type and $99.99 Pro Click accessories offer a more understated design than...
