RAZER RZ03-00181400-R3U1 Black Wired Lycosa Mirror Special Edition Gaming Keyboard

Comment:
This is my second Lycosa I was wearing out the coating on the original version and I figured this "mirror" version may be all the better... I was happy to see not only the shiny finish but I wasn't expecting the bigger lettering on the keys. All in all the fixed my complaints with the board. 1 but I don't know if its the board or Win7. I've began using Windows 7 when I got this updated board and I'm running into one standard problem random keys will suddenly quit working. A uncomplicated reboot takes care of this but it can be rather annoying. This by no means occurred in XP with the old board so I don't know if its the keyboard or if its Windows 7 causing this problem.

LEd keys are uncomplicated to see in the dark Every thing, a total waste of cash. dont bother, inside two days the down arrow stopped working, three days left and proper arrow keys would jam throughout games. WASD for movement are sluggish in the course of gaming. My trusty old MS keyboard for 30$ performs 100x better Seriously dont bother with this keyboard. I would strongly suggest avoiding Razor goods in general Manufacturer Response:Hello,I am sorry you had such challenges with your Razer Lycosa.

The concept behind the keyboard is fantastic. It has a fantastic layout, design and kind element. The color is cool. I'm not specifically confident exactly where to begin.I guess when it comes down to it the dilemma with this keyboard is that the create quality and materials utilized are just not as excellent as they should be in relation to the price of the keyboard and the reality that Razer devices are supposed to be best of the line - and this is coming from someone who loves Razer mice.The crucial board is light and flimsy and created of affordable plastic that does not seem like it will stand the test of time.In certain the mirror finish is carried out cheaply and so prone to flaws and scratches that it will scratch even working with specific polishing clothes that are produced for cleaning this kind of item.In addition the packaging is flawed in such a manner as to result in these keyboards constantly coming out of the box scratched (see far more in the 'other thoughts section).The tension and action on the keys is uneven as is the keyboard lighting.Compared to this board my Steelseries Merc Stealth is built like a brick home - trul The initially keyboard that I received came pretty scratched up. The packaging of these keyboards leaves the ideal side of the keyboard unprotected in order to show off the finish through a clear plastic window, which outcomes in a scratched up keyboard.I thought this need to be a fluke and that the board need to have been opened/used or handled roughly so I RMA'd it.the second board arrived even more scratched up than the 1st. the fault is in the components and manufacturing approaches applied as properly as the packaging.What a disappointment.Provided it's excellent this board ought to be ษ.00, not ๠.00.

I recieved it from new egg with rapidly shippng as constantly. This is the worst keyboard I have ever purchased, Nothing at all operates well. The lighting has dulled to the point I cant see the keys. With out the lighting the keys are black. It has been rma once already. They contact this a gamming keyboard but you cant push four keys at once so why would you get in touch with this a gamming keyboard? The keys are starting to stick currently making the feel of this board junkie. Please dont obtain this board!!!!

Looks nice, feels okay I've had absolutely nothing with complications with both the Razer Lycosa and the Razer Mamba due to the fact ive owned them. The straw that broke the camels back was the enter important acquiring stuck and not registering presses. I contacted Razer and they havent even responded right after four days. The mamba was related in poor create top quality as the battery dies following just 4-8 hrs of use. Save yourself the grief and stick with somebody else.Even their software is terrible. Genuinely the only redeeming factor of this device is the appear, but that cant make up for poor good quality develop Save your dollars, an input device this high-priced ought to have a substantially higher create top quality. Stick with established names, at least they respond to customer concerns.

shiny, fairly lights seamed like everytime i restarted my pc it was on a various setting. i just got frustrated with it and tossed it into my spare parts bin subsequent to the razer mouse that came with it as a "package deal" fingerprint magnet, be positive to wear gloves if you essentially want it to hold seeking good.

Comment:
Each and every important performs, the light up keys make it effortless to find what your searching for, simple to press keys. flimsy it feels like it could fall appart at any moment when i pick it up and move it. The glossy keys show each fingerprint and peace of lint that mannages to uncover its way to your keyboard. lights dont often dim i dont know if its an issue with the keyboard or my laptop but there are instances exactly where when i hit the dim light button and the lights will not dim so i have to unplug and plug back in to get it to function. Overpriced i would have rather stuck with my standard keyboard than go out and buy this realizing what i know now. if you dont mind your keys searching dirty all the time and have the cash to go out and get it its a good keyboard.

? Incredibly sleek appear.? Backlighting is good.? The wrist rest is fabulous. ? My only complaint is that my keys were pressing themselves. I was playing a FPS when randomly my W crucial got "pressed" down for about three minutes. Considering it was nothing minor, I restarted my laptop or computer. Went back into the FPS, no far more than 5 minutes went by prior to my S essential began to do the exact same issue. I searched online and located out that this is a widespread concern with the Lycosa Mirror's. Ah properly. ? At present sending it back for a refund. Greatest of luck to any of you that purchase this keyboard!

typing is nice with the smooth surface, rather to look at. Sleek and cool blue lights. Flimsy feeling, you suffer when others who hit the keys tough for you believe it might break. The 1 I own(d) was sent back due to the fact the enter essential in the center of the keyboard lifted up on a single side and would not reattach. At instances when I went to hit the enter button it didn't operate. Second and selection maker to send it back was when all the sudden the "r" important didn't perform, attached and all, it didn't function. I purchased this certain one particular to treat myself for I school on the internet and game, but a common keyboard in no way has failed me.

Extremely sleek hunting. Rapid. And the cluster lighting is wonderful for night gaming. If you look at the keys from a half inch away, with the LED's on, you can see small X's behind the letter of the key. But whos going to be looking that close. Also, the plan is somewhat confusing to use. Folks hated that it attracts dust, but it comes with its really own dust cloth. Everything will get dusty with time. Excellent keyboard. If you have blue LED's in your computer system, get this keyboard.

- Comfortable keyboard- Backlit Keys- Thin keys are fairly effortless to press This keyboard is plagued with problems, largely exactly where keys would randomly cease working (A massive nightmare in FPS games exactly where one particular of the WASD keys would randomly quit working).The Touch panel for the media controls would also randomly stop working or rapidly act as if you kept pressing them -- Would continually alter songs or decrease the volume.Some keys require a lot more pressure to push where as some will register with extremely small pressure. I've RMA'd this keyboard to Razer, and you have to spend for shipping oneself (Roughly ฮ from Toronto, ON, Canada to California, USA). The new unit I received has the precise very same troubles as my earlier unit, not impressed.I've tested this against 3 different computers a different OS's (Windows 7 x64, Windows XP Pro, Ubuntu 9.10, etc...) and usually ended up with the exact same difficulty.If these problems didn't exist, this would possibly be the very best keyboard I have ever owned.

Very sleek looking keyboard. Cool small lights and touch screen. I like the texture of the key's and the feel of the important's. I've had this keyboard for about 9 months, I'm a hardcore gamer and it's a terrible gaming keyboard. In the middle of my game it will bug out and some of the important's will stop operating (happens rarely but nonetheless takes place). Does it with each the drivers installed and uninstalled. Can't push 4 crucial's at as soon as. The key's are wearing down currently and the stick surface of the essential's are coming off. I'm obtaining a various keyboard.

nicely i really like the slick shine that it has. It is a supper slim tight clustered essential set up created ez for typing. i have no matters with the touch pad. I have no prob with the gost essential config i have played all kinds of games from flfow to wow and all went properly. got to say i really like it. none as of now.

Outstanding looks and ideal response time for gaming.. Great keyboard. And the USB and Audio ports on the board are a excellent addition too. Now right here's the factor.. I took off an egg due to the fact this is my third unit so far in a 14 month span. Reason is the sticky important flaw.. and keys not even responding.. like the others have stated. All I did was kept returning the board till I got 1 that worked, and now I have a excellent board........ This is likely the ideal keyboard bar none for more than all use and looks(when it works effectively) If you want the finest and are iffy like myself and dont want the possibility of receiving a bad item...but nonetheless want it.... JUST Buy IT.. Reason is this.... yes there is a chance that this board will perform like advertised and there is a possibility your in the other 30% that is flawed. Just get it and wait till its at your residence and use it for two-3 weeks. If the board messes up in that time frame.. just return it for one more. There's a 70% chance your going to get a fantastic board... positive beats that 30% right? It took me 2 boards till i got a great one particular... But I'm content with RAZER and usually have. I wn a handful of other RAZER goods also: Mamba..DeathAdder..Barracuda AC-1 SoundCard and Headphones that go with it. (Excellent Audio Combo BTW)

To clarify on the USB port concern that a person had, if the secondary port doesn't suit your taste, you don't have to plug each USB plugs into your computer system. One of them is ONLY for the extra USB port on the keyboard, it's completely optional, just like the headset/mic connections. It looks beautiful. You'll have to check a look at the video of it (movie-trailer-esque) on the web. Slick keys feel like polished black glass. Each important is mappable... no specific macro buttons necessary. Profile switching will alter your setup to whatever app you have running. Extremely beneficial for playing WoW then jumping on CS for a bit. The LED backlit keys hav ethe lighting displaying just the lettering, rather than around the keys, which is great. It goes really effectively with a razer mouse and even my belkin N52TE which I never use anymore lol. Seriously, this thing feels just great to form on. The touch panel in the leading appropriate is a great touch, as well. Tricky to keep clean... where the heel of my palm rests throughout gaming sessions builds up residue, even though a simple wipe with a paper towel fixes that. I truly feel negative for the men and women that got bad keyboards and have all the issues that I've noticed in the reviews, appears like top quality handle needs to step up some. Absolutely worth it. If I had to buy once again, even with the critiques that would make me a little hesitant, I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

It's really fairly to look at. The finish is nice, and the keys are effectively illuminated. I purchased two of these. A single for myself and one particular for my brother. Each units suffer from the Windows Media Player Launching randomly continually. As effectively as random keys not operating, forcing you to unplug/replug the keyboards back in. These complications only surface shortly after the return policy expired. I have 贶 dollars invested in two paper weights now. The difficulties I'm obtaining are extremely widespread for each Lycosa and Lycosa Mirror units. Don't waste your money.

This keyboard works just like the description says. The macro software that comes with the keyboard is really easy to realize and use. The look and feel of the keyboard is amazing and is obviously the best I have bought for gaming. I been having some minor troubles with the keyboard lately with the Q,E keys getting stuck although I'm playing. It normally happens at random so I can't say what is the problem. I have noticed some other customers bringing up this problem in the comments so I know it's not only me. Just before I purchased this keyboard I was actually debating whether it was worth the income and how significantly of a difference it would make. Following getting the keyboard for a couple months I feel that it a solid acquire. It hasn't fully produced me a pro lol but I can see the difference in respond time and working with the macros. I'm going to give it 4 out of five due to the minor troubles I have been getting.

Looks excellent, great back lighting, comfortable keys, all round nice aesthetics. I truly wish I could give this keyboard a higher rating. The style flaw in which some early Lycosa keyboards would randomly have keys stick, or fully stop responding, is apparently nevertheless there. I've owned my Lycosa for a tiny more than a year, and lately had a couple of keys cease responding. Either rebooting or unplugging would reset the keyboard, and it would perform once more for anywhere from a minute to about a half hour. But the problem would come back every time, and it was often a different set of keys that wouldn't perform.But the most disappointing element of it is the reality that Razer won't acknowledge the truth that this keyboard still has a style flaw, and once it's out of warranty, you're on your personal. So if you want a slick keyboard that you'll have to replace in a year or so, go for it. Otherwise, appear elsewhere. Razer support has so far been somewhat responsive, which is a great adjust from a few other businesses I could name, but have not budged on the warranty. Soon after 1 year, it's yours if it breaks, style flaw or not.

- Appear nice when brand new and clean... - Get dirty as you touch it, and generally really feel kind of greasy- Electronic troubles!!!Keys get randomly stuck (electricaly, not physically), so the crucial get reapeating itself (like when you hold it). Only get back typical immediately after you unplug/replug the KB. This can ruin any perform you'r carrying out. In gaming this will get you killed. This kind of point can appen as soon as a week maybe, and at any momentinstance: "A" got stuck, can't cease strafing left... and any other keys won't respond.Also, randomly open media application (minimizing your present application/game)But the worst issue : AWFULL SERVICE FROM RAZERThey know the dilemma, but they won't exchange deffective solutions, stating that I can't prove the defect as it's intermitent. In brief, prevent this keyboard. The appear is not so nice once you have toutched it, and the slippery feeling is agressing. No one must function//game on unreliable periferal, and this is exactly what it is. It may well be get stuck only after, but it will be at the most undesirable moment of your life. I'm now using a ten$ Logitec keyboard i located in my wardrobe.... it's not fancy, but it's operating like it's supposed to, and the 80$ geeky Razer is collecting dust. I don't want to sell/give it, as that person will surely hates me for this afterward.There is so considerably good periferals on the marketplace, and considerably less costly. Acquire one thing from a business that care about their customers.Personally, I won't purchase something from Razer, sorry.

Pretty awesome keyboard overall. Effortless to form on, attractive design, amazing that it has the audio slots/USB built in. Weird technical troubles. Occasionally keys will quit working and i'll have to restart my personal computer to get it operating. Also does not read my headset from time to time

Love the really feel, keys are responsive and, in contrast to absolutely everyone else apparently, I haven't had any troubles with the character keys. The wrist rest is pretty comfortable for getting a tricky surface, and the low profile feels wonderful for gaming and typing. Media keys! Out of nowhere, my media keys stopped operating on me, as nicely as the LED toggle - I guess the the entire touchpad quit on me. Soon after reinstalling the drivers, I can modify the backlight from computer software, but the touchpad is still unresponsive. I did speak to Tech Support about it, but they spewed out some pre-generated stuff that did absolutely nothing. I gave up right after they started repeating themselves. I hate when people rate some thing 1 star simply because it stops working after extended use. I've had this keyboard for nearly a year, and I miss it whenever I go into work and have to use the stupid Mac keys. I adore my Deathadder as effectively, and if I was rating Razer as a firm they'd lose a star for poor technical support. As for the Lycosa itself, I'm hopeful that I can get my touch keys working once again, so I'll shoot them a four star for a wonderful keyboard.

Looks great Initial Keyboard DOA took virtually 3 months to get one more. The new one particular the random keys cease working all the time. Have to unplug and replug to get it to operate. Updated the firmware and drivers nonetheless not remedy. Stay AWAY from RAZER merchandise!!!!
