RAZER Arctosa Silver Wired Standard Gaming Keyboard

Comment:
Keyboard is very nice, and thin. My dilemma is windows 7 driver is not working. I can not install win 7 driver. I can not use the set up tools. non White LED is a little vivid, and the material surrounding the keys is very attracted to fingerprints, but nothing you can't deal with/clean off.

Comment:
keys are a little 2 short but its better than the 5$ keyboard i had its plug and play but you need to download the driver to reprogram the key

Comment:
Excellent tactile response. Feels like a best hybrid of laptop and old desktop style keyboards. I like that the wrist rest is removable. White LED is a small bright, and the material surrounding the keys is very attracted to fingerprints, but absolutely nothing you can't deal with/clean off.

This is a fantastic board for the price tag you spend, You get the finest function any person expects out of a gaming keyboard, which is to disable any of the keys, like the Windows Button.., Overall I am very pleased with this board and appreciate the response time, It help give that little edge when gaming. This board is a small loud when typing not to a lot of a difficulty, Its also extremely spaced out, So if you like your keys genuinely close this isn't the board for you. For the price tag you seriously are receiving what you paid for, I was hunting into these boards for a although and when I truly did purchase the board, I was in a hurry and meant to get the Lycosa mainly just for the lighted keys, But I suppose ฮ more is anticipated for that, So you get what you spend for.

This is a solid, sturdy keyboard. Decrease profile keys mean a shorter keystroke and more surface area for your fingers. This looks extremely good next to my Razer Krait mouse and genuinely makes my gaming setup look expert top quality :P The anti-ghosting on the WASD cluster is heavily appreciated especially in command-heavy games like Battlefield two and Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising. The keys have an outstanding tactile really feel and after two months of heavy gaming use they haven't lost their spring one particular bit. This doesn't provide any distinct advantages more than any other keyboard and it won't magically make you superior at games, but it absolutely oozes that Razer style I adore oh so considerably :) The multimedia buttons on the top proper are covered by a thick plastic membrane and are slightly tough to really feel out and take some considerable pressure to push. This was a far cry from my beloved old Saitek Eclipse(RIP) that had uncomplicated raised buttons that had been simple to come across during an intense gaming session. I use the volume keys each day as the major volume control for my speakers and I am afraid that the plastic more than them may well crack from use. It already shows some slight stress and you can clearly see the circles where the buttons are. Plain old buttons would have been significantly superior for this keyboard. Get this one over the original version unless you know your way around the keyboard by heart. I have a friend who got the one particular with black letters on the keys and you can't read them AT ALL in a dark room. Understandably, he hates it. But soon after he saw mine, he was all over obtaining another a single with silver keys. Other than the questionable media buttons, this keyboard is flawless. I just wish I had gotten the Lycosa as it's essentially the similar issue with a back light. I could have afforded it too at the time but this one particular was such a great deal. Oh effectively this one particular will serve me nicely till the day it dies or the Lycosa goes on sale. At which point this will go to a more needy gamer than myself or the keyboard smash/toss at our neighborhood LAN parties :)

Good hunting keyboard. Keys all function. Effortless to disable Windows essential for games. Keys really feel a small low cost. Caps/Scroll/Num lock lights are blindingly vibrant. I utilized a black permanent marker to dull the brightness of the indicator lights.

Looks great, smooth keys, uncomplicated to use You know, I'm not certain if this is just the one particular I got or if they're all like this but all the keys on my keyboard are practically totally black with only the outline of letters. I see the picture of it on here and the keys are white, mine are not. It's almost 90% not possible to see the keys while in a dark or poorly lit space and that can be extremely frustrating. I have to have my desk lamp on and crank my head sideways almost touching the keyboard with my face in order to see what I'm typing and I have to chicken peck the keys, so to speak, for accuracy. It's very humorous to watch me sort on this factor but like I mentioned also frustrating. I would have offered this keyboard 5 eggs if this wasn't so but like stated, it could just be mine.

I've had the keyboard for more than a year and nothing at all has broken which includes the multimedia keys which operate without having Razer's software installed on my Windows 7 64-bit desktop. The relatively flat keys producing cleaning them uncomplicated. The shape and spacing of the keys produced typing on it comparatively effortless for me as properly. The action of the keys has develop into mushy over the final year. It began quite crisp with no lateral movement, but now there is side-to-side wiggle when pressing most of the keys and they need to have more force to activate. This adjust more than time has definitely negatively affected my ease of typing on it. The three indicator lights for Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock are very bright and bleed though the pad for the multimedia buttons. In low light, the brightness is annoying and distracting. This good quality of my typing encounter on this keyboard has degraded significantly more than time. When it was new it was a single of the greater keyboards I have owned but it has gotten worse to the point where I now want to replace it.

Looks good, every thing is where it's supposed to be. Cord is A lot extended. Keys are very strong, so you know that you hit the key each and every time. Kinda loud, no back lighting. Will take a tiny obtaining utilised to, but it's extremely considerably worth it.

I was seeking for a keyboard that had non paper flat keys(not a mac keyboard). And that didn't smudge quickly. with a simple style and simple multimedia functions.this keyboard is perfect, sturdy, i love typing with it, it's like an intermediate in between old gateway keyboards and the mac ones.ɛ razor nothing at all I would advocate getting it, also the cost was nice for the results

fasttt, im owning in the competitors scene in COD4 nothin if you use arrow keys this isnt for you, i had to relearn to play but it was effectively worth it. <|;-D

Really responsive keys and stylish style. The anti-ghosting cluster is nice and general, this is a formidable keyboard. I did not locate myself disappointed by its design or its performance. The finish is high gloss and incredibly prone to smudges and dust. Something at all shows up clearly against the shiny background. I come across myself continually polishing this and wiping off dust and fingerprints. This and the lack of backlighting leaves me wanting for more. For ฽ I expected much more This keyboard will possibly get put away as a backup or sent to a needy gamer. Surely a very good keyboard but a bit featureless for the value. Razer products normally impress me but this one particular left me slightly underwhelmed. Served me faithfully and nonetheless functions like new but it looks so grubby do to continual use. I require anything that can stand my abuse much better.

- Low profile- Sturdy construction- Removable Wrist rest- Programmable Function Keys- Comparatively flat keys- No Ghosting - INSANELY vibrant LEDs for caps lock, num lock ect I place some black electrical tape more than the LEDs for caps lock and numlock because they are blindingly vibrant. Other than that I'm extremely satisfied.

Looks goodComfy DesignExtremely "cool" box styleSelection to disable the left Windows important for Games When employing the keyboard for gaming some buttons appear to get "stuck." Not too long ago while playing a game i got stuck Strafing left even though no buttons were becoming pushed. This also happens with the space bar. And Alt+Tab so my game continuously opened and closed. Mashing the keys being affected seems to aid but it is nevertheless quite annoying

Comment:
I've only had this keyboard for a week, and wow. I'm impressed. It's rapidly, sleek, comfortable. Overall a wonderful keyboard for the price. Tricky to uncover a con...1 would have to be that the LEDs are particularly bright. I know a lot of other individuals have written this, but I didn't recognize just how bright they were.

Comment:
good important response,led's are super bright,spilt water on it unpluged it and dryed it out with a hair dryer and it nonetheless performs wonderful,macros operate in-game wrist rest sucks but you can take it off so its not actually a con. buy it.

Anti-ghost is sweet. Programable keys are awsome. Turning the windows key off is amazing. All in all a fantastic keyboard The legs to angle the kb are stuby but is tolerable. Also all the caps-num-scroll lock lights are Vibrant! Also the keys are a tiny loud but not adequate to not get it Its a enjoyable keyboard and nice seeking.

The keyboard is relatively tiny and slim in form factor and looks pretty decent; the essential-press depth is pretty good as properly. Typing on this keyboard actually feels pretty excellent to me, but that's ultimately just a matter of individual opinion. A single point I do like is that the keyboard doesn't slide around on my desk like my old one particular applied to - it seems additional or much less glued down to the desk...and...I get cool little Razer stickers....oh joy... Don't seem to notice any ghosting problems when playing Mass Effect 2, but possibly in a far more intensive game like Counter Strike it could become an issue. Razer claims to have anti-ghosting around the gaming cluster although. Just just not worth the value I paid for this item....undoubtedly must have gotten a Microsoft Sidewinder X6 or some thing else for just a tiny bit more. I guess it will serve me for a whilst till I have some additional income laying around to get a high finish Logitech or something, but a keyboard of this low of a quality really should sell for far more like ษ at most. Razer was obviously thinking more about maximizing income and not about actual client satisfaction. Develop Top quality: Abysmal, the whole keyboard flexes when I just push down on it a little. The crucial labels appear like they are just press-on stickers. The little touchpad buttons are rather difficult to press, and I hear they break rather speedily anyway. Wrist-rest is not adjustable, and feels very slippery; it almost feels hard to preserve my hands on this keyboard. I might go spray a coat of anything on the wrist rest to make it a bit less slippery. At least it is a decent looking keyboard, and will serve the basic goal of typing and a bit of light gaming, but I nonetheless really feel for ุ worth of keyboard, I need to have gotten a significantly much more strong product than this.

Low profile keys (similar crucial height to laptop keys, but the keys punch down slightly further than laptop keys do).Keys are simple to type on, but have some punchiness to them; they are not mushy.Standard important layout with no additional frills. The caps lock/num lock/scroll lock lights are incredibly bright. I placed a little piece of electrical tape more than mine.The "Razer" logo looks silly to me. I took off the wrist rest and covered the other smaller logo with black electric tape. Lastly, a low profile keyboard with a high construct high quality (that doesn't cost a fortune)! I've been making use of two of these (one at perform, one particular at property) for a couple years now. The construct top quality has verified to be top rated notch. Extremely proposed.

Macros and flat/slim keys. I was talking to a tech rep at Razer and think it or not the hardware in the Arctosa IS Diverse from the Lycosa.By this i mean that i was told the Arctosa has Anti-Ghosting for only WASD. Whilst the Lycosa has anit-ghosting for WASD and the keys surrounding it like 123QE and so on. Their description on the feature is really decieving given that they are virtually identical relating to ghosting. Ill make positive to test it thoroughly once i get it even though, i could simply think they would lie just to get much more customers for the a lot more costly board. three stars simply because of it lacking the anti ghosting on keys other than WASD, if that holds accurate. Which was one particular of the primary causes i bought it. But on the upside the rest is the identical, whatever that may possibly be, slim keys and macros, oh 1ms? may possibly as well just uncover some software program to do the macros for you, overclock the usb method or use a laptop. I believe newegg has other laptop style keyboards.

Very uncomplicated on the eyes, loving the multimedia keys. Keypads are easy, not tricky to push down at all. very good layout for every thing for individuals like me who have large hands, this keyboard is probably not for you. I discover myself feeling like I hit the incorrect essential, but I'm not. My 7"hands really feel cramped whilst typing, but none of this is the board fault. Excellent overall for gaming, not so a lot for complete typing

Comment:
This keyboard doesn't feel cheap the spacing between keys is nice to have. Certain parts of it are fingerprint magnets but that is just fine if you wipe frequently. Overall this keyboard is great. This is basically the non backlit keys version of the Razer Lycosa.
