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

Comment:
It performs well, when it decides to operate. The keyboard continually shorts out on me, keys will randomly quit operating or will occasionally act as even though they are becoming held down. This can be remedied by unplugging and reinserting the usb cable... but for an 80 dollar gaming keyboard that's not a actually acceptable answer. Also as somebody else pointed out, there is no misuse of this keyboard, it's just a terrible style. Allegedly you can repair the difficulties by undertaking some MacGuyver work to the touch pad media center by way of some conductive tape or coins, but I'd rather not have to spending what I did. It's reported that you can acquire their best of the line mechanical keyboard from razer, Black Widow I believe? And it performs incredibly nicely, but I'd rather not have to spend 140 bucks just to get a keyboard that performs correctly. Honestly, I've never had a Razer item that wasn't terrible and this is my final buy from the company. There is a keyboard sale currently and I will possibly get a Logitech keyboard as none of their goods, I've experienced, have main defects.

This keyboard is good for FPS game like Crysis and modern warfare. The keys are membrane and practically noiseless so you can immerse your self in the worlds filled with bullets and explosions. It is not the greatest for typing/programming. If this keyboard were silent AND mechanical it would be 5Ǜ. If you do a lot of programing, RTS games such as Starcraft two, or typing I advise you get the DAS keyboard ultimate or yet another sort of mechanical keyboard. You will adore the switch based keys and they tactile really feel they present for touch typing.

When it works, it is amazing. brief keystrokes, quiet keys, good blue backlight, audio ports/extensions There are numerous recognized troubles with this keyboard. The very first board had an problem exactly where the touch pad would glitch out quickly opening WMP more than and more than once again and ultimately a bunch of keys absolutely stopped operating (qweasdzxc spacebar, tab, shift, and 1-5). Razer kindly replaced this for me at no expense to myself as it was still below warranty. The replacement board I received seemed to operate just fine, but then also started having issues. Keys would randomly get "stuck" as if I were pressing them and then eventually just cease operating entirely forcing me to unplug the board and plug it back in and wait for it to reconnect. As for the touch pad it had a distinct challenge from the initial board. Instead of rapidly opening WMP it would skip to the next song more than and more than again. Incredibly annoying if you essentially want to listen to your music! Overall a incredibly disappointing obtain. I was extremely excited when I finally bought this factor, but it has been nothing but a hassle ever considering that. My recommendation: get a unique board.Didn't get if from Newegg (love you guys although :) ) just figured folks truly read these critiques :P

Not any pros for this keyboard. I would say looks but the lighting has a lot to do with the looks and the lighting fails to work correctly on this keyboard in a quite short time period. I got this keyboard as a gaming keyboard and for the cool looks with the lighted keys and glossy black. At first I believed the keys felt low-cost and as time proved they had been with some keys sticking and from time to time not working at all. I would have to unplug the board to get them to function once again. So I RMA the board and get a new a single. I was thinking cool have to have been a negative board. Not so immediately after time the keys start off sticking again and the lighting has gotten so dark you cant see the keys. Also they contact this a gaming keyboard but you cant push more than 2 or three keys at a time so I would in no way call this a gaming keyboard. Appear bottom line is Razer makes a wonderful mouse but stay away from their keyboards they are terrible and a rip off. I dont create a lot of critiques but felt this product was poor adequate that I had to warn men and women. Don't purchase this keyboard!

The Razer lycosa brings style and functionality into a sleek black bundle. With it's functional USB port and audio jacks, along side with macro capabilities it's a keyboard that holds its own in the input device circuit. Here's the kicker ladies and gentlemen, the lycosa has been recognized to have matters operating below windows 7. the most typical symptom of stated problems are randomly dropping keys and the back lighting going off. Only curable by way of resetting the USB connection(disabling/reenabling, rebooting). A lot more frequently known in older Razer Lycosa keyboards. An ailment that Razer has addressed in newer builds of the Lycosa keyboard. Be positive with any new razer product to update the firmware and software. A lot of prominent problems with razer devices can be solved with such. I've owned an older lycosa keyboard the moment before, infact it's in my closet. I had created the jump among XP and Windows 7 keeping my input devices the same, and seasoned what most people today right here have experienced with the windows 7 compatibility error.

I like the mirror appear but dirt sticks to it all as well effortless and rapid. With the smooth texture its effortless for me to slide my fingers across the board. Backlit keys are also a plus Ive owned this for about 2 months and in the last month, there appears to be some troubles with the software package end.. on a each day basis, i will be playin a game and all of a sudden the keys will lock, leaving u running sideways or on the other hand which way by itself. The moment it stops, the crucial no longer retains any function. The only fix i discovered so far is to unplug the keyboard.. This gets annoying seriously quick specifically when ur tower is enclosed in an entertainment center bay. That and being on a each day basis. I figured i would try a razer KB mainly because i fell in enjoy with the razor Death Adder mouse when it came out(still a single of the very best mice IMO). Im thinking that razer has only perfected the mouse and nothing else.... I also purchased the razer gaming headset, which the mic lasted 5 days over a month after i got it.... I just broke down and bought a G35 due to the fact it produced me mad that i couldnt return the headset due to five days grace period.

I purchased the Black Edition of this keyboard but Razer appears to no longer count on any in stock.Bright LEDs, responsive, touch panel worked very nicely for me. Altogether I truly liked this keyboard even believed it felt slim compared to my old G15. Soon after 30 days, about 34 to be precise, a few of my usual buttons stopped working. This wasn't a big deal and if handled properly I wouldn't even be writing this assessment. I didn't bother to contact newegg but I most likely should have given that it was only a couple of days after 30 days. I went to Razer internet page and could not uncover any phone number to call buyer service about my issue aside from a quantity in China. I e-mailed support and a handful of days later they got back to me asking for a copy of my receipt. Even believed I sent them a copy I resent it. This complete back and forth e-mailing took about a week or so until I received a RMA#... mind you all of this more than an ๠ keyboard. Soon after sending the keyboard two and a half weeks ago I get an e-mail stating they have no ETA on the black edition and can send me a regular 1. I'm eagerly awaiting a response about a full refund because what they want to replace my, now going on 3 month old keyboard with is not what I purchased. I enjoyed the keyboard when it worked.. but paid for a Black Edition. However, the RMA is taking two months now more than one thing as easy as a keyboard and there isn't anyone I can even call to speak to. I would not recommend any Razer product to anybody if you will need to run by means of hoops just to get a replacement item.

Very good Seeking, and nicely placed audio and usb ports... thats about it The keys repeat until you restart your laptop!!!! no form of unplugging or calling a priest will rid you of your keys repeating. Its strikes each and every other day and at the worst attainable instances, such as the moment you believe you have a great kill your A important stops working (not only A important, has happened on most each key) and all you can do is run sideways. which fully irritates the hell out of me! to make matters worse unplugging the keyboard does absolutely nothing towards solving the complications except for a unneeded reboot of the entire laptop or computer. This product is a frustrating heap of keys acting up and a 10min excursion to restart the laptop or computer to repair the problem. Sent back without having a issue... except for shipping which i actually hope they will spend for once RMA confirms it a defective item. Just bought a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate so i can lastly play a game without having restarting three occasions

The keys are nicely litcost was excellentattributes are coolhas usb ports and mic/line in and headphones jacks builtin None I have had this board for nearly 2 months now, and have but to have a dilemma. The keyboard got dirty and the keys were messed up, so i opened it to clean it. The external parts are top-notch and greater high quality then i expected. I applied to work on Xboxs, and the excellent of the circuit boards resemble Team Xecutor's products. When the keys had been cleaned and the shell wiped and cleaned with a toothbrush and q-tip, reassembly was uncomplicated, and the board works like new. Be certain to download the most current drivers, they repair teh USB problem i had (Would keep finding disconnected.

Have 3 distinct ones and adore the simple keys and lighted keys straightforward to see.... truly stiff cables hate that

Comment:
Feels fantastic for gaming, back lighting is great, so far it has not messed up whilst writing this. Randomly messes up and causes bsod's , keys all the sudden will stop working and or freeze which puts a crucial into a non cease loop...............................................like that. Last driver for Win7 is 2.05 developed Octብ , firmware on mine is two.02. Can Razer fix this with new driver ? or possibly new firmware ? The most expensive kb is the worst ? Really like it when it's working effectively.

Looks good. Does not work. Keys stop working causing you to restart the computer system each and every time this happens. Razer recalled these final year but are still selling defective ones.

This is actually a nice piece of what razer has shown us in the past.-The blue led backlights are genuinely great, just light adequate to see what keys i want to press, but not to vivid as to disturb me.-The choice to turn off the blue leds is great, but why would you want to turn it off?-Nice spring when keys are pressed-Has a usb port in the back of the keyboard, along with with a audio and microphone jack It may have some faults, but they are minuscule.-Kinda loud, if you seriously care-this baby is a fingerprint magnet, good factor razer provides a cloth to support with that-To hook this thing up you require two USB ports and my audio/microphone jacks in the back (optional) I delight in this so considerably, i would completely get it once again if i need yet another, price might be high, but there is a cost to fantastic top quality merchandise. I adore my lycosa mirror

1.Keys look sickŌ.Media functions are fantastic over many apps.three.Disable windows crucial in game. 1. The usb extension is for low power usb devices only, will not perform with you iphone/ipod/ipad.2. Cost bought from local retail retailer in case I wanted to return with no restocking fee.

Feels great and fantastic response. The keys will regularly stop operating at random occasions. Razer has sent three replacement keyboards and every one particular of them has the identical bug with various frequency. Tried the keyboards on a diverse Pc in case it was my laptop or computer causing the difficulty. Key issue followed they keyboard. Finally gave up on them and went to a Logitech G510 keyboard. I truly wanted to use the keyboard as the feel and the response of the keyboard is wonderful (when it works), but you can only give one thing so a lot of tries ahead of its time to move on.I would recommend avoiding this keyboard. I do have some friends who have this keyboard and say they have no issues. Working keyboard might be the roll of the dice.

Comment:
Actually comfortable, good looks, brilliant back lights for the keys, nice important grip, responsive keys and touch panel. This is a finger print, hair and dust magnet and the cost is a small high. Good Job Razer, but you really should function on lowering your costs.

Comment:
none to report keyboard was defective within a month of obtain. Rec'd a refund. Having to acquire new model since newegg isnt carrying (or have in stock) any of these any longer. Will be annoyed if I have to repay the overnight shipping expense i paid on the original... Will contact assistance and ask them to refund me this overnight charge. They owe it to me.

-Looks great-Backlighting Keys randomly quit working at the full worst occasions, and I can't seem to reliably replicate the incident. The only way to repair it is to unplug it and plug it back in. It's occurred to me at least ten instances considering that I've had it. Unacceptable. Using Windows 7. Their Drivers, and even then it doesn't perform. I am really disappointed with Razer High quality, and will not purchase a different keyboard from them.

Comment:
I like that a single slight touch on your keyboard can turn off the backlights if any. Incredibly slim and if you're messy this keyboard doesn't genuinely give evidence away. Keys are smooth went the keys are clean. Takes up two USB ports but offers you back two on the keyboard which doesn't seriously make any sense because the USB ports only perform on modest factors. Does not perform with charging my iPod touch or iPhone. Does not function with my kingston flash drive. Except for charging a HTC Tilt two telephone. Which does not make any sense. No huge deal even though.Despite the fact that I like the gloss, it leaves finger prints and I normally wipe it with a very modest wet towel. Other than that, there is nothing to be concerned about. Fix the complete USB port concern on the keyboards.

Well, I know I've left two evaluations within my first month of owning this keyboard, but following 9 months, I feel I need to give an update. I notice it's no longer accessible, and in my opinion, that's a very good point;Very first time I received this keyboard, touch panel did not function, and had floating keys. Razer was sort adequate to send me a new keyboard, with a working touch panel, and no floating keys, and I was happy for a whilst. Eventually, the very same arrow keys that were loose on my initial one particular, became loose on the replacement a couple of months later. I could comprehend that if perhaps I employed the arrow keys a lot, that could occur. But I pretty much under no circumstances use them. Only if I have to kill a few minutes playing a cheesy flash game.About two months ago, the paint has began chipping on my wasd keys, which I truly didn't expect, specially on those keys. Razer knows those keys will be the ones utilised most often, I'd figure it'd hold up longer. All in all, I haven't been happy with this keyboard. Definitely Newegg is great, so it's not their fault. And the reps at Razer are kind, and I can't truly be mad at customer assistance, it's not their fault. I just wish that soon after the initially broken 1, I would have sent it back for a refund. For the greater price I paid for it at the time, I expected more. For now, I'll have to live with it. It still looks fairly for the most part. I'll have to wait rather some time ahead of my wife will let me dish out the dough for an additional 'gaming' keyboard.Happy Fraggin!

Very effortless to kind on. Armrest is comfortable. Back lit keys. Needs two USB ports. I'm not certain whether or not my Motorola Droid's SD card is acting up, so take this for what you will. or one thing. When I tried to plug it in by way of the keyboard, my phone would connect 5 instances before disconnecting 5 times. I'll format it and see exactly where it goes from there but none of the USB ports on my personal computer are carrying out this to my telephone.Past that, this keyboard is a dream. If power more than USB isn't doable, then an egg lost is definitely exactly where I'll maintain my vote. The entire point of getting a USB port on your keyboard is for an ease of access, and seeing how I'm constantly texting, this was a selling point to me.

Great feeling keyboard but if you want something for gameing its not worth it.

Comment:
Straightforward touch sensors to transform the backlights, smooth touch keys, I could go on with this beast :P no cons, but i assume the wrist rest could be a lil wider for folks with massive hands lol nothing at all else to say, operates and looks good.

It looks incredibly nice, and is fantastic to the touch. The backlighting is just appropriate. The touchpad is futuristic and snazzy, but I stay away from utilizing it simply because it's difficult to use. These keyboards suffer from a rampant backspace problem. I've RMA'd mine twice, and am loathe to do it however once more. At this point, I've spent the value of the keyboard all over once again in shipping it back. Each new Lycosa that arrives is the similar - defective backspace. Every single other crucial is responsive and good, but the backspace important not working 3Ǜths of the time drives me insane. I'm a quickly typist, and if I make a mistake, the inability to rely on a functional backspace important drives me insane. I've owned a quantity of keyboards in my time, this becoming my first Razer board. I've utilized Razer mice exclusively for years and loved them. I won't be shopping for another Razer keyboard without having extensive positive reviews that they are free of essential quirks. I can't even sell this thing in very good conscience, even though this RMA is less than a month old, it just doesn't operate appropriate. =(

Comment:
awesome important response and straightforward to setup mirror finish easyly gets dirty with figure prints. Also if installing a new OS be sure to have a back up crucial board this crucial board will not perform appropriately when installing new OS drivers should be installed for it to work the right way. Atleast this an concern i had on installing win 7 ultimate with this keyboard.
